[edit] Neutrality dispute?

I'm removing the dispute tag. As there is no discussion on this page regarding neutrality issues, I consider it settled. Feel free to re-tag the article if you can make a good case. Prometheus^-X303- 23:55, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I restored the tag. There are sentences that show a strong pro-Bynum bias, and others that show an anti-Bynum bias. As it is, it's chock full of unsourced statements and potential BLP violations. --Orange Mike 02:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

That's fine. Can you point out some of the problems so they might be fixed? Prometheus^-X303- 13:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Pro-Bynum: "As a child, her parents always made sure that she and her siblings went to church every week"; "This sermon catapulted her into popularity. Ever since, Bynum's fiery and no-nonsense sermons have made her a demand". Anti-Bynum: the whole "Controversy" section. --Orange Mike 13:59, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

You're right. Those seem are POV and need to be revised or removed. Prometheus^-X303- 02:36, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with promethesu, now the consensus is 2-1 to remove. case closed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.88.205.124 (talk) 17:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Consensus is not the same as majority vote. It's a more meticulous process. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Domestic violence advocate

Does Bynum actively campaign against domestic violence? She appointed herself the "new face" of domestic violence, but what has she done? Something should be cited as the article states she is "advocating" Prometheus^-X303- 14:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Prophetess?

The article also states that Bynum is a prophetess. There is much controversy in the church as to whether the office of prophet even exists anymore. What proof have we that she is a prophetess? Prometheus^-X303- 14:52, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stubified

I have stubified this article because of WP:BLP concerns. Her high-profile divorce was all over the news, so we should be able to source things, but under BLP, everything controversial needs to be well-sourced. --B (talk) 16:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
