__TOC__
== Summary ==
There is consensus that, outside the context of the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]], the ADL is generally a reliable source, particularly for topics related to [[hate group]]s and [[extremism]] in the U.S. There is no consensus that the ADL must always be attributed, but there is consensus that its labelling of organisations and individuals (especially as [[Antisemitism|antisemitic]]) should be attributed. Some editors regard the ADL's opinion pieces as unreliable and should only be used with attribution. In the 2024 RfC, there was rough consensus that the [[List of symbols designated by the Anti-Defamation League as hate symbols|ADL's hate symbol]] database is reliable for identifying the existence of a symbol and for straightforward descriptive facts, but not for more complex details such as a symbol's history. In such cases, [[WP:INTEXT|in-text attribution]] to the ADL may be advisable. ''See also: [[#Anti-Defamation League (antisemitism)|Anti-Defamation League (antisemitism, excluding Israel or Zionism)]] and [[#Anti-Defamation League (Israel/Palestine conflict)|Anti-Defamation League (Israeli–Palestinian conflict, including related antisemitism)]]''
