The first section quoting women's place in the home and shamefulness of homosexuality sound over the top -- can any one else source these statements? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.12.116 (talk) 20:59, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Somebody has added what looks suspiciously like Christian Nationalist propaganda to this article, in section Early American Judicial Precedent. The entire section is un-sourced firstly, and does not refer to any court decisions so it can not be called "judicial precedent", and seems to suggest that the United States was founded on Christianity. Which is an assertion often made by Christian Right activists, and hotly contested by advocates of separation of church and state. I question the neutrality of the section.

The article stated that Moore's opinion led to critics saying that Moore wanted a Christians only theocracy. A citation of one critic, not critics, was given. But these are weasel words used to insert an anti-Moore statement into the article, violation of NPOV. It is easy to find persons who disapprove of Moore criticizing Moore & saying all kinds of negative things about Moore. Also it is easy to find persons who approve of Moore and praising him. The article should not favor negatives or praise by selective reference. Also, the opinion cited is obviously wrong. To object to Moslems in office is not to advocate "Christians only," nor is it to advocate theocracy. Moslems believe in "theocracy." To object to Moslem theocracy is not to advocate Christians only theocracy. (EnochBethany (talk) 15:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC))
External links
FYI: Someone who can edit this article needs to remove the first two entries on the list of external links -- "Roy Moore Exploratory Committee" and "Roy Moore's gubernatorial campaign site" -- as they now direct to sites that are in an Asian language. They also set off warnings from my security software that they could contain potentially malicious content. -- Entrybreak (talk) 00:18, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
There's a section called Judge Roy Moore is Coming to Dinner about a play which is a parody of Judge Roy Moore. If it is notable it should probably have it's own page as the play does not feature him at all. However, there's limited WP:SOURCES on this and the play's creator. Seems like WP:FRINGE ...

CommentRetain.→Edit per Mkativerata. No, WP:NNC explicitly says that "Notability guidelines do not apply to content within an article", so it's incorrect to conflate article notability and inclusion notability, and it's irrelevant that the play is a comedy or that its creator isn't notable enough for a separate article. WP:FRINGE refers to fringe theories and opinions, not the notability of people, events, or culture. There are several reliable sources for the play and its 2012 revival (), and Moore chose to respond to it, which are IMO sufficient for inclusion. 209.6.114.98 (talk) 14:51, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Comment. 209.6.114.98 has a reasonable point that this is not fringe or trivial. But it certainly does not warrant a separate section of the article; currently, the coverage is disproportionate. I would suggest a brief sentence, perhaps in D.H. vs. H.H., which is the relevant judicial event to which the play appears to pertain. --Mkativerata (talk) 10:13, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Comment Anyone can write a play about anyone else. What we need to substantiate is whether it 1) adds to a broader understanding of the subject and 2) whether it actually impacted the life & legacy of the subject. Awhile back, I removed a tidbit from the Ted Nugent article about a band that wrote a song criticizing him. While they may have undoubtedly done so, was it necessary to mention? It was presented without reference to its impact on Nugent's life or his response. A section may not be necessary, but we should be careful as to whether it's worth mentioning - it could amount to WP:PROMO. LazyBastardGuy16:24, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
