Deletion of Gil Student (2nd nomination)

Comment: I'm personally aware of his role in the Slifkin affair among other issues, and I also personally think his role important and notable for these things. The difficulty is how to establish that this isn't simply my personal opinion. It's one thing to say that, for example, decisions by notable rabbinical courts are acceptable |reliable sources on  halakha|Jewish law) because the rabbinical court system ensures that such opinions are peer-reviewed and don't simply represent the views of individuals. But there are limits. One question I have is whether there are any sources (we can discuss their reliability later) indicating that major figures in Modern Orthodox Judaism have commented on Gil Student. Has the head of the RCA or YU or other clearly notable figures claimed that what Gil Student has said or done is important? Is there any basis so that we can say his importance is based on what someone notable says rather than our own opinion? We do have the Jerusalem Post's best Jewish blog award. Do we have anything else? Best
