Talk:Televangelism

message: Where did the idea that someone who used radio as a medium was a "televangelist" come from? If they weren't on television they weren't a televangelist, at least in my dictionary (Merriam-Webseter's Collegiate 11th edition). So I'll be changing  the reference to Coughlin. -- Someone else 06:57, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: If the article is correct that televangelism is entirely a U.S. phenomenon, how does Paul Crouch operate an almost-worldwide ministry through his Trinity Broadcasting Network?

thread_title: Deletion review for [[Melissa Scott (pastor)]]

message: I have added some information on controversies as distinct to scandals. I felt that this was necessary to make a comprehensive article. It addresses generic concerns that have been raised about televangelists. All the points I have included are independently verifiable and have been made by authoritative sources - they are not original research. I have tried to present them in neutral language to the best of my ability. However, I accept that (a) references may be needed and (b) the overall tone could do with improving to include the response from televangelists to these criticisms. I will leave these tasks to others. However, please don't delete what I have written just because you disagree with it. Whatever your views on televangelists are, it is notable that they have caused considerable controversy and an encyclopedia article needs to reflect this. Sidefall 12:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: There are way too many unsourced claims in this article. How is it possible to validate this information, or whether this article is reporting the phenomenon accurately? The article, for example, talks about America's big Christian population and deregulated media network are the principle causes of televangelism. Although such a claim is very plausible, it is still making a falsifiable claim that needs to be sourced. Let me try to dig out the unsourced claims tag. 65.24.105.132 (talk) 17:08, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

message: This section seems quite specific and I'm not convinced of its importance to televangelism as a whole. It has its own article at Moral Majority and surely this essay would be better over there? This falls under WP:OFFTOPIC.  ArcMachaon (talk) 23:30, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
