"Criticism" inaccurate
"Criticism of Comcast" does not seem to be an appropriate title for this article; there are almost no claims of criticism throughout the article. A title of "Comcast sucks" would be more accurate, given the article's current state. Can someone bring some WP:SECONDARY commentary into the article? Dea db  eef  04:13, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Where's the controversy?
Having read this article, I have a difficult time identifying just where it lacks neutrality. It describes many specific controversies caused by actions of Comcast, describes relevant criticisms (made both by specific entities like the FCC and in aggregate form via the American Customer Satisfaction Index), provides many relevant citations and refrains from making value judgements on Comcast's actions. Perhaps the title should be changed from "Criticism of Comcast" to "Controversies surrounding Comcast" but insofar as the article's content, the allegations of disputed neutrality seem completely unfounded. I propose the article title be changed and the warning removed. 173.116.193.118 (talk) 10:15, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

I agree, not seeing any disputes here. Why is it tagged with NPOV problems? It seems to me for that tag to be there, somebody should at least come up with a list of problem areas that can be improved. Just making a blanket statement that it is "not neutral" means it can't be fixed because to must of us, it appears perfectly neutral. I 100% agree that the tag should be removed. I see no neutrality issues and until somebody actually points out the issues then it shouldn't be considered disputed.66.220.250.160 (talk) 15:11, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

What critiques are and aren't allowed on this page
I recently had 2 sourced critiques removed from the page about comcast. I was just wondering what the criteria is for allowing a critique on the page or not? they were both verifiable and accurate. Is this page only for negative criticism?Bryce Carmony (talk) 20:23, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Criticism implies things that are negative and/or should be changed about a company, a product, a piece of art, etc. What you've posted are positive factoids. Unless you think that Comcast should change its stance on diversity and its hiring practices (i.e. that they shouldn't hire minorities, should be more restrictive, old fashioned and even racist, etc.), then these items do not belong here.

 * Oh I get it so this is a content fork where anything negative goes here only. got it.Bryce Carmony (talk) 10:41, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The rest of the article talks about all the positives, this section provides a balance to that. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:37, 21 July 2015 (UTC) Geraldo Perez (talk) 13:39, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * What do you mean "rest of the article"? what part of Criticism of Comcast is for the positives?Bryce Carmony (talk) 13:29, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

/r/Circlejerk
Should the article talk about the /r/circlejerk raid to associate Comcast with images of Swaztikas? Does this belong to the original article or to this one? Does this even belong on the wiki? I'm new, so I prefer asking before editing. 79.53.0.204 (talk) 16:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
