Talk:Rennie Davis

message: Why would the fact that this person was for a very short time of his life the spokesperson for the Divine Light Mission, warrant inclusion in the category Prem Rawat, as well as to feature a nav template related to the subject? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:07, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it is notable, it was not a short period of time, and it is noted and backed up in notable secondary sources that satisfy WP:RS/WP:V.  Cirt (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not a short period? Really? How long he was a spokesperson? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As already stated in the article, a period of a few years, during which time he was the spokesperson for the Divine Light Mission.  Cirt (talk) 23:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Nope. He became a follower in 1970, but was spokesperson for a short period of time. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:15, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, and the official spokesperson for the Divine Light Mission is a key individual in the history of Prem Rawat and his related sub-organizations, and deserves placement in the category and the template is a helpful navigational tool on the subject matter.

text:  V ad RS have nothing to do with my argument (if the material would bot have been based on a verifiable source, it will not be here, and it is here because it is notable). My argument is different and related to categorization and template use, but I guess we have to agree to disagree. I will ask for a WP:3O. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Category and template 

message: I see nothing wrong with the category, because the association does exist and it's notable.
However, I would recommend deleting that template. As a new and unfamiliar reader who read the article and then saw that template at the bottom, I couldn't fathom why it was there, especially since Prem Rawat isn't mentioned anywhere in the article. Don't explain it to me; if the relationship isn't clear in the article, a talk page explanation won't fix it.  The template makes it look like this article is part of some major Prem Rawat project on Wikipedia, and I don't think that's the case. -Amatulić (talk) 23:46, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Without providing a source, 192.149.67.170 provided the alleged names of Davis' parents. The name "Richard Davis" for the father contradicts our article John C. Davis. The latter, however, verifiably worked in the CEA during the Truman administration. A "Richard H. Davis" is mentioned, but not associated with the Council of Economic Advisors. So something is wrong here. --bender235 (talk) 14:16, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
