Talk:David Lane (activist)

Texas Freedom Network
I have removed material from that does not comply with our policy on the biographies of living persons. Biographical material must always be referenced from reliable sources, especially negative material. Negative material that does not comply with that must be immediately removed. Note that the removal does not imply that the information is either true or false.

Please do not reinsert this material unless you can provide reliable citations, and can ensure it is written in a neutral tone. Please review the relevant policies before editing in this regard. Editors should note that failure to follow this policy may result in the removal of editing privileges. A press release from a partisan group, self-published on their website, on which derogatory assertions against living persons are based is unacceptable. Lionel (talk) 04:20, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * This is astounding... the story is one of David Lane winning against the Texas Freedom Network, a story where the liberal watchdog organization finds themselves in a "nightmare" situation where they wanted the IRS to come down hard on Lane's employer Niemoller Foundation but instead the IRS gave the foundation a green light and wider latitude than anyone expected. Nothing is derogatory against Lane in this story arc. This same story was covered by Right Wing Watch in January 2009, Baptist Press News, Ministry Today, The Christian Post and the Washington Times in May 2009, and the American Independent News Network in March 2011. The story is well-founded and widely reported, and should be returned to the article. There is no violation of WP:BLP guidelines. Binksternet (talk) 02:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Well if you have a better source then put it in. Lionel (talk) 03:23, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, but all this media coverage validates the TFN publications as sources. I will augment the TFN sources with these others, not switch them out. Binksternet (talk) 03:37, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Just because a story in an unreliable source gets mainstream coverage doesn't make the source acceptable. Lionel (talk) 03:44, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * If a reliable source covers it, it makes it notable. Besides, Texas Freedom Network is highly reliable. BelloWello (talk) 21:32, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
