thread_title: New archive

message: The reason I say it needs to be cleaned up is that there are Latter-Day Saints, which is what the title of the article refers to - but then we see that it also includes several break off religions as well.  Why are they included here?  I propose that they be moved to their own list (i.e. "List of Rigdonites", etc.).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.169.152.145 (talk) 03:11, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article needs to be cleaned up 

message: This listing needs major correction and research.  I've done some work, but there is much to do.

message: Why does the Wikipedia require a page listing notable persons who happen to be Mormon? DeusImperator (talk) 00:25, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:SPINOFF and WP:SPLITLIST. Rather than have all of this on the Latter Day Saint movement page, it has its own stand-alone article (and this article is actually larger than the current Latter Day Saint movement article). Also, this is for all Latter Day Saint movement groups, not just Mormon. It's the same as having a separate list for alumni of a particular school or notable people from a specific town. If the list within the article on the school or town is large, a separate list can be, and often is, created and usually a summary section is left at the original article directing readers to the full list (not the case at Latter Day Saint movement). For an example, see Michigan State University#People and List of Michigan State University people. In the end, it's an organizational thing to easily ID notable people who are connected by a notable topic, such as being a member of a Latter Day Saint movement group or alumni from a certain school or place. --JonRidinger (talk) 00:42, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Medal of Honor winners 

message: After several weeks of noticing edit activity on this article in the watchlist, today was the first time this was reviewed more directly.  While all done in good faith, the extensive adding of content to this article, specifically related to baseball, is far beyond WP guidelines and the purpose of the article.  As the introductory paragraph indicates, this listing is for those who have obtained notability, generally meaning those with a level of notability that justifies an existing WP article.  Almost none of the minor league players meet this threshold.  WP is not a directory, or an attempt to have/be an exhaustive list, in this case, of any Latter Day Saint who ever played baseball.  This also includes the lack of need for multiple categories where many of the individuals are duplicated from having different roles or experiences (i.e., coached/managed later in their career, played on an Olympic or other event team, etc.). The listing of other areas across this article shows how this should be listed - link to a WP article, with a relatively brief focus on the specific accomplishment related to the category being listed.  There also seems to have been problems created by what appears to be too many sources listed - which also doesn't address whether they qualify as reliable sources.  Generally, not more than a few citations are needed for each individual, primarily because more in-depth information on them would exist on the individual's article.  Again, with emphasis on and appreciation for the good-faith efforts, WP is also not a place to address an individual's interest or hobbies for topics, in this case, baseball. All this content should not be restored, unless there can be proven that there is notabilty and need to warrant individuals being listed. ChristensenMJ (talk) 18:33, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
