Racial and political views of the Westboro Baptist Church
Just based on the title this can never be NPOV, or its a soapbox, or its unecyclopedic, take your pick Pboyd04 22:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Merge back into Westboro Baptist Church, where the original article content was forked from. This has become a POV fork, I'm afraid; because it's edited by fewer people than the relatively NPOV main article, controversial content has remained in (for example, the "anti-black racism" section, which only mentions WBC members' significant anti-racism work as an aside to its main focus on allegations of racism).  I think some of this is notable, but such content as is notable belongs back in the main article. TSP 22:35, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete and give the author Purgatory time. Endomion 22:35, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete since the POV extends well beyond the title and into the execution of the entire article. Remove this festering sore on the face of Wikipedia with all possible speed. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 22:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per TSP. --Idont Havaname 23:58, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Anti discrimination groups also have "racial views." The phrase "racial views" is neutral to me. pielover87 03:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Article is well sourced, and seems too long for merging into the already very long Westboro Baptist Church article. It is not the article that is biased, but the organization, according to the sources given. To make the organization sound non-racist etc would require deliberately ignoring the sources and would thus make the article non-neutral. Wuzzy 18:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
