Please do not restore violating material on "Steve Breedlove"
I noticed you reverted a deletion of material from Steve Breedlove. You claimed the material is "the most public and consequential of his ministry career, involving news coverage and external investigations." You are possibly new here (or an experienced editor using an anon login) but you appear to misunderstand Wikipedia policies on biographies of living persons. Please note the following, and if you wish to make the case for inclusion of this content in the mainspace, work with other editors to refine it on the talk page first. First, the content is not contextualized. It does not explain why this incident is, as you say, "the most public and consequential of his ministry career." It simply launches into a summary of this single incident that is as long as the rest of the article. This is why the undue weight tag has been added. The burden on the editor adding this material is to document why it is so important and to ensure it is balanced appropriately. Per WP:BALASPS, "An article should not give undue weight to minor aspects of its subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject. For example, a description of isolated events, quotes, criticisms, or news reports related to one subject may be verifiable and impartial, but still disproportionate to their overall significance to the article topic. This is a concern especially for recent events that may be in the news." Second, the section relies almost entirely on primary sources. The only appropriate reliable source appears to be the Religion News Service article. The other sources (the Grand River Solutions report, the treasurer's report of the Diocese of Christ our Hope and the Youtube video of the DCH synod meeting) are primary sources and the section in question constitutes original research, also in violation of WP policy. For biographies of living persons, WP policy is to "Use extra caution when handling primary sources about living people." Third, the section is not written in WP style (see MOS:LISTBULLET). Finally, the article floats allegations against a priest in Breedlove's diocese, by name, who is himself non-notable, and care should be taken not to introduce unsourced allegations against non-notable third parties. 

Your fellow editors are happy to work on improving this material. It does appear that this can be contextualized, streamlined, and properly sourced with reliable secondary sources. I recommend working this out with other editors on the Talk page for this article. Until then, material that violates WP:BLP must be immediately removed.
