[edit] NPOV

Despite any person's views on the rumors about Tom Benson moving the Saints permanantly out of New Orleans, POV attacks and slander without credible third party evidence will not be tolerated! Zzyzx11 (Talk) 20:39, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

• I've added what I consider to be an extensive NPOV section on the team's possible relocation. I did not provide links to the source newspaper articles, since the New Orleans Saints article doesn't cite any, but I can provide sources if someone feels they're necessary. The information here is as neutral as I feel it can be; if anyone disagrees, let's discuss it rather than revert this change outright. Andrewdupont 03:44, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Thank you! It is much better than the POV rants that have plagued this article recently. But it will help a lot iif you could please list sources. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:28, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
    • OK, added inline links to newspaper articles. There are still some minor points in there that do not reference the news articles from which they come, but the major news is all cited. If I get time I'll try to add these sources to the New Orleans Saints article and clean that section up on the whole. This story is only going to get more complicated over time.

  • Nice job! As much as I agree with (and was amused by) the various POV attacks that were posted recently, I feel this is much more appropriate for Wikipedia. Besides, there should be no need for personal attacks when the facts clearly speak for themselves. 24.162.95.111 06:11, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Rebecca Of Sunny Brook Farm here...I've read this Wik - Tom Benson page more than 2 years. I'm astonished that noone had the tenasity to clear up some speculations. My goal is to update the "story" that was posted before regarding Mr. Benson's removal of the Saints from New Orleans...call it Public Relations if you will. There were mighty poor ASSUMPTIONS made by New Orleans, Louisiana and San Antonio regarding the "move" of the team. It was and always will be a temporary move for the safety of his family, friends and employees. I will retreive the neccessary points of reference on the quotes within the next several days —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.38.55.20 (talk) 16:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
