Greg Lawhead
According to his [IMDB entry] and [this website], his birth name was Greg Lawhead. This isn't mentioned anywhere in the article. Should it be? 68.7.48.214 (talk) 09:03, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Neutrality
Hardly a neutral treatment of the subject. Hyperbole needs toning down and sourcing would help, if any of these glowing adjectives is justified. Umbertoumm (talk) 21:10, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It did need some work. I've toned down the language a bit and added some refs. David Woodward (talk) 14:29, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:57, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Weight, height.
This was added, unsourced, by a short-lived SPA. Some of the other edits this person made don’t look so bad, but this one fails the giggle test. Qwirkle (talk) 16:04, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I just removed it. I could find no reliable sources for these numbers, although they are widely reported in unreliable sources. As you say, the notion that he weighed 143 pounds is laughable. He was known as "Da Bull" and the NYT says he "had a bodybuilder's physique". -- MelanieN (talk) 01:10, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
