Holocaust Denial?

Having read and re-read this article, I cannot understand why this section of the Jared Taylor biography even exists for several important policy-related reasons.

First, there is the policy issue of undue weight. It would be understandable that this section existed if Jared Taylor is known for his anti-Semitism or (more importantly) finds himself being the subject of journalists who cover his alleged Holocaust denial. After all, Wikipedia is a terciary source that relies on publicly verifiable secondary sources that document subjects in a NPOV fashion. The fact is, after checking Factiva, Lexis-Nexis, Google News, and JSTOR I cannot find a single article in a reliable mainstream source that associates him with Holocaust denial. Furthermore,  even the Anti-Defamation League does not accuse Taylor of such things. Right away, the alarm bells should start to sound based on those two facts and we should start scrutinizing a  little more carefully what is and is not relevant for this biography.

I'm not suggesting that inconvenient facts and criticisms found in reliable sources cannot be included in this article. I simply have not found them. As it is written now, I think what we have is clear violation of Wikipedia's undue weight policy in a living person's biography.   

Second, speaking of biographies, there is the all-important policy points for  writing biographies of living persons. Specifically, we are told to ""do no harm."" Is it harmful to create an entire section on Tayler's alleged ""Holocaust denial"" based on one journalist's question and Taylor's one-line response? To be honest, I think it is. Best regards,   "
