Sources missing
"Members of the LGBTQ+ community, which makes up a significant portion of the fan base of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise" A source of data to support that statement is missing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.165.96.245 (talk) 12:54, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Birthday is wrong
Scott has said that today is not in fact his birthday.

That's true. How would people know when his birthday is? Mikethemayor (talk) 22:02, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

What happened? This your birthday? Someone not want see this your birthday right?

Scott's Birthday info
Scott said on an interview hosted by the Youtuber Dawko, that his birthday is the 31st of February, but he didn't say anything about the year.😪

Fixed the website
For some reason, Scott Cawthon's "website" was set to EA... I fixed it and put ScottGames instead, with the link, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RyanTartaglia (talk • contribs) 22:42, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

List of works
WP:IINFO does not apply, as the list is what makes the subject notable. It is precisely why we include such lists for Percy Bysshe Shelley or Oscar Wilde. And no, that's not WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - it is how Wikipedia deals with artists, authors, and other creative minds. A short list of authored titles is neither excessive nor exhaustive, and is in keeping with Wikipedia policy.  Scr ★ pIron IV 12:59, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thats because these other lists are itself notable and covered by multiple sources. However, the list of works in this article has no sources and therefore is not notable. --TL22 (talk) 13:51, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
 * As this is not specifically a list article, the inclusion is warranted. If the list grows to become exhaustive, then it gets broken off into a list-class article of its own. As with all other lists of works, they are merely compilations of a creator's work. The list itself does not need a source. Several of them pass notability on their own per WP:WTAF - not all items on such a lit need be inherently notable.  You have been around a while; I am rather surprised at your analysis of policy here.  Scr ★ pIron IV 15:41, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with ScrapIronIV here. I was thinking of this as a moderately successful actor, or a mildly prolific writer. In both of those cases, I support the inclusion of a list of works - as Scrap said, "the list is what makes the subject notable." NekoKatsun (talk) 16:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Religion?
Seems like an odd inclusion that doesn't fit with the information given by the rest of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.50.175 (talk) 00:42, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Image
So this article is missing an image of Scott, maybe we can use his logo.

Photo?
Should I put a more recent photo of him up? He did put one on his Twitter. (https://twitter.com/real_scawthon)
 * , please see the Image use policy. It needs to have a free license, be in the public domain, or fair use. Just because Scot Cawthon posted a picture of himself on Twitter does not mean that it meets any of those criteria. Peaceray (talk) 19:31, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Games…
I've been looking over this list of games, and it is extremely incorrect. Spelling/Grammar is incorrect, as are the dates and a few games are missing.

I don't have time to re-order and change all of this, so I request someone changes these things

Thanks. Empoleonmaster23 (talk) 04:21, 4 March 2017 (UTC) in my games there is nothing missing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.237.113.2 (talk) 16:45, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Contentious nature of Scott's birthday
Since Scott's birthday date has been removed from the page recently, here are some arguments for the removal:

1. Scott's birthday that the article was claiming was not sourced.

2. According to VoterRecords.com, Christopher Scott Cawthon, a different person sharing the same name is 47, making it the same age as the one that was claimed in the article. This could potentially be a result of a mixup.

3. Examples of online discussion posts where the stated birthday is disputed:

4. Scott himself has confirmed this date not to be true here - in section Halloween Update News on 26th of July - "First of all, thanks for all of the birthday wishes even though it's not my birthday. There is a lot of misinformation about me on the internet, surprise, surprise. ;)"

Should his occupation just be reduced to "game developer"?
The very first sentence states that Cawthon is a "animator, author, philanthropist, producer, video game designer, video game developer, voice actor, and writer". He is not widely known for most of these, so I believe it is appropriate to remove all but video game developer and maybe author. At the very least, the redundant ones should be removed (video game designer and writer). Icedmorning (talk) 19:52, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Confusing Date of birth
As of April 28, 2021, at 19:19, I had made an edit changing his date of birth back to the usual rumored "July 26, 1971" when I had noticed, it was switched to 1978. The next day, April 29, at 12:10, it was reverted by a guess editor, and the reasoning for why it was reverted was that they told me that "Scott debunked that", and provided a link to a reddit post addressing the misinformation. I do not blame them. Why? Well, there has been a lot of misinformation lately, or should I say, a long time. And this is not the only article to have some misinformation, there are a lot of other articles that carry a lot of a misinformation about various topics. And my question is, where is exactly does this misinformation come from?


 * Is it just this Wikipedia (this website) that people can also edit rather than view, and make up this misinformation?


 * Or is it other websites that spread false information (and even a few that lie to Wikipedia and their editors)

Now I know, this website is one of Wikipedia's Blacklist's, but I also originally got his biography information from Famous Birthdays. Also, the reddit post from 10 months ago (published July 26, 2020), I'm sure depicts a screenshot of a tweet from 6 years ago, (published July 26, 2015), Where Scott address's the birthday wishes he receives even though it is not his birthday and all the other misinformation about him, and there are still false claims being spreaded. I am a bit neutral at this moment, but still shocked by this, and hopefully that there will be an improvement. Xfhxzf (talk) 00:59, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

"Former" Game Developer
The lead states that Cawthon is a "former game developer". However, I find his retirement announcement to be unclear whether or not he's fully retiring from game development as a whole or just the Five Night's at Freddy's series. So, should it be written as game developer or former game developer? Icedmorning (talk) 00:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * There are sources from the 'Public Image' section which might give clarification. I'm being lazy and I didn't check them. But it might be worth putting one of them in the lede. Abillionradios (talk) 02:24, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Polygon clarifies that he's retiring from public game development as a whole, so I cited it in the lede. Icedmorning (talk) 12:51, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The Polygon article doesn't even really insinuate he's retiring from the scene entirely, and his goodbye post on scottgames.com seems to hint at otherwise. DigiDuncan (talk) 00:42, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Another Reason Why Scott Retired?
I read that the retirement was due to some political controversy but I also heard that it was because some discord user named Blue Kid!!!! doxxed him. True or false? By the way here's where I got the info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BR20 DaCrazy (talk • contribs) 18:44, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, . I haven't checked your source because - perhaps I'm being paranoid - I don't recognise the link. But, generally speaking, it's quite difficult to verify who doxxes someone. You don't want to rely on a source that might be incorrect, so it's better to wait. If someone gets arrested for doxxing him and the records are publicly available, then it might be worth revisiting who. Patience pays off in situations like these, so as to avoid violating WP:BLP. These are my 2p. Abillionradios (talk) 01:37, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Miraheze is a free wiki hosting platform that, from what I heard, has a pretty bad reputation even among it's own users. Regarding Scott, the only primary source that he's been doxxed is himself. 46.97.170.112 (talk) 10:21, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

I think we should mention who he was donating to
I checked the site right here, and he donated to the following people.

John Cornyn a transphobe and homophobe. Kevin McCarthy (California politician) another homophobe. Cory Gardner homophobe. Donald Trump who is clearly anti-LGBTQ+.

Although not all the individuals have or mention anti-LGBTQ+ views, like I haven't found any sources regarding Mitch McConnell or Joe Collins.

It also appears he donated to Elise Stefanik who is an interesting case because at first she was okay with it then went against it.

CycoMa (talk) 20:55, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Undue weight on Scott's response
"He rationalized his actions, claiming that he does not posses any anti-LGBTQ+ views, saying that all his donations were purely for economic reasons. He claims, that in his personal belief, Republican politicians would do more good for the whole society, including members of LGBTQ+, than democrats would."

Is this really necessary. How does including these sentences line up with WP:MANDY? Cawthon's claim that he's not anti-LBGTQ isn't supported by the objective fact that he donated to openly anti-LGBTQ politicians. 46.97.170.112 (talk) 09:49, 2 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Do you have any sources that support the claim he’s anti lgbtq?CycoMa (talk) 10:13, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * We have sources claiming he was accused of being anti-LGBTQ, don't we? As per WP:MANDY, mentioning that Scott is denying the accusations is WP:UNDUE, because... of course he would deny them. Not inclusion worthy. On a different note, I'm not sure the claim that he was doxxed doesn't strike me as something worthy of inclusion either. His claim is the whole basis for this, and from what I've seen, the information supposedly published about him was public record. Does that really fit the definition of doxxing? I'm also not sure that making the claim that Scott was doxxed going on his words alone runs afoul of WP:BLPCRIME. I don't think this should be mentioned either, unless it's confirmed by independent fact-checkers. 46.97.170.112 (talk) 09:21, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Republican in infobox
I replaced it with " ". I see there is mention of his politics in the body, and that seems adequate.Shajure (talk) 21:05, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Should a subsection for the donation controversy be included?
How do you feel about adding a bolded subsection for the Public image section? It may provide easier navigation to users who arrive at the article looking for information about the donation controversy. I won't add it if you don't think it's a good idea per se. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhenKnightFalls (talk • contribs)
 * wp:notnews - if they are looking for news about an event, they should look elsewhere. This is not a politician, or a performing artist.Shajure (talk) 02:54, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

"On June 10, 2021, Cawthon trended on Twitter when his political donations were shared on Twitter. Barring a donation to Democrat representative Tulsi Gabbard, all the donations were to Republican candidates and organizations. Cawthon subsequently confirmed in a statement posted on Reddit that he is a Republican, has made significant financial donations in support of conservative political candidates, and is pro-life. He also claimed that after the donations were uncovered, he had been doxxed and had received threats of violence and home invasion. While the reaction to the response was positive on Cawthon's Reddit post, reaction was mixed on social media sites like Twitter. Members of the LGBTQ+ community, who make up a significant portion of the fan base of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, reacted negatively. A few days after the donations were discovered," I propose to delete this entire mess. He wasn't a pol. Why does it matter? wp:undueShajure (talk) 02:57, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Question. Was it covered by reliable sources? Kotaku and PC Gamer are reliable as far as I know. And for over a month now, typing Scott's name in any search bar will bring up the controversy among the first results. I say whether it should be included isn't even the real question here. If the paragraph is a mess, it can be streamlined. 46.97.170.112 (talk) 09:08, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I wrote/phrased a somehow significant portion of the paragraph that you have quoted. I think the paragraph should be included and is fine, except for some parts (for example, the mention of being pro-life: not sure if "pro-life" should be "anti-abortion", since the linked article's title is "Anti-abortion movements"). I want to hear your reasons, regardless, for thinking that the paragraph is messy and should be deleted. LightNightLights (talk) 11:06, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * "Pro Life" were his words, as anti-abortion activists typically call themelves (despite being opposed to affordable healthcare and in favor of the death penalty, as a general rule). I would prefer "anti-abortion" myself because that's what people who call themselves "pro-life" mean when they self-identify as such. However, it's possible wikipedia is required to use the exact words that the sources are quoting. 46.97.170.112 (talk) 07:58, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * For WP, we don't use wording based on our own thoughts, but instead we use wording based on a balanced representation of published wp:RS. Do the sources say "pro-choice" or "anti-abortion" or "pro-life"?  A mix?  1%, 30%, 69%?  That would be the guide.Shajure (talk) 13:56, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The listed reliable sources are only quoting Scott's public statement that says that he himself is pro-life. Another fact, as I have mentioned previously, is "pro-life" redirecting to Anti-abortion movements (which I have just noticed also lists "pro-life movements' as a secondary name). Does the rule of balanced RS wording representation apply in this context? If not, should a compromise between how it's worded by the listed RS and Wikipedia be placed instead, something to the extent of "pro-life/anti-abortion"? LightNightLights (talk) 01:56, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I changed the wording to him "describing himself as pro life", which I believe is still in line with what reliable sources say. The link could be changed simply to Pro-Life and it will change nothing. It still redirects to the anti-abortion mevements, because that is what "pro-life" means. A euphemism used by anti-abortion activists to describe themselves. But feel free to revert if this doesn't improve the article. 46.97.170.112 (talk) 10:58, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Claim Without Verifiable Source. Should be Removed?
In the public image section, it is stated that the LGBTQ+ community "makes up a significant portion of the fan base of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise." It has a source for it, but the claim is from an article that briefly mentions it, without itself providing a source or proof. This seems like a general statement that cannot be proven, as I'm sure other series like Sonic The Hedgehog, Mario, or even GTA likely have the same amount of LGBTQ+ fans. This statement cannot be proven, and it is not as if the FNAF series is known for featuring LGBTQ+ characters. This statement seems to be based more on feelings than an actual source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Okay-At-Best Mr. IS (talk • contribs) 19:59, 31 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I apologize for the late response, but I was the one that added that entire statement in. I'd agree the franchise isn't known for LGBTQ+ characters, but in Wikipedia per WP:VNT, the ability to support a claim with a reliable source prevails over what any editor thinks is the truth. can be proven and is indeed supported by the PC Gamer citation that was next to it (a reliable source according to the WikiProject Video games source list). I would immediately put the "significant portion" part back if it weren't that, looking back, someone might be able to argue that the entire statement is of undue weight. I added it as it's related to the fact that Scott is pro-life and supports conservative candidates. I still think that's true but the statement itself appears out of left field. I'll try in the following days to check other sources about the situation to see if it's due and whether it can be phrased better in the paragraph.

Is he still retired ?
After the backlash from him donating to republicans he said he was retiring from the FNAF franchise but after that he still made games, books and was involved with the movie. So is he really still retired ? I know that’s not the word they used in the article but he said he was stepping back and it doesn’t seem to have happened.

Nightmare about Bonnie?
According to IMDb, and many websites, Scott Cawthon, the game's creator, got having nightmares about the character Bonnie during the game's development. But it might be a hoax or not. So, should i make something saying "Scott Cawthon got having nightmares about Bonnie while developing the game "Five Nights at Freddy's"."? But it will probably hard to find a good source.

in the personal life section referring to the LGBTQ FNAF fanbase, cite images such as an image of a William Afton interpretation Infront of the trans flag 2404:4408:8A20:5000:55C4:2957:C9E3:1F8A (talk) 10:07, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Scott is an American, why is the Article written in British English? 2603:6000:AB00:4E1F:D0BA:E598:F343:39AE (talk) 22:31, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Image and fair use?
Would adding a screencap from MatPat’s video qualify as fair use? I don’t think there are no known free images out there of him, and as far as I know this is the only video he has appeared in? (Discuss 0nshore's contributions!!!) 01:49, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Not0nshoree, maybe someone could email MatPat and ask him to release the video under a free license?<span id="Davest3r08:1710102528031:TalkFTTCLNScott_Cawthon" class="FTTCmt"> — Davest3r08 > : )  (talk) 20:28, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No, because it would be possible to take and freely licence a photograph of him, no matter how unlikely that is. Really the only NFC of a living person, as far as I know, is somebody who's likely to be in prison for the rest of there lives. Cakelot1  ☞&#xFE0F;  talk  08:04, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Game Theory
Someone should move GT from film to series section under filmography. I tried to do it but I couldn't figure out how to move the yes and no boxes. Anonymous29345 (talk) 19:43, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Scott did not "begin his career developing family friendly christian games". His first christian game was 17 years after he began game development. He has made a single christian game in 28 years of game development. This is proved within this same article, but for some reason it is stated otherwise. It is unknown if scott even held christian beliefs before 2004.

Replace the first line in "Early Work" and the first line in the second paragraph of the article to combat the fictional narrative of "he devoted his art to christianity before FNAF". 2603:8081:3A05:3C0B:7D80:D0A2:5D82:E842 (talk) 17:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
