Fred Phelps[edit]

Seems well written & very comprehensive, I think it could possibly be a featured article, but I'd like feedback. Djbrianuk 23:31, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please, pretty please, do not give this article featured status. Please? This is an article about an attention-seeking scumbag. I have known his children for my entire life. He has stated over and over again that he will say any horrific thing for attention. Feature status is attention. Why feed the trolls? Please don't do this.

- For the record I happen to think Phelps 'is a first class nut', however the subject matter is irrelevant as to whether or not an article is awarded featured status. I'm asking for peer review to gauge whether a featured nomination is likely to succeed for this article on it's own merits as a neutral encyclopidic article on yes, a particulary horrible specimen of humanity.

It is a common and dangerous trap to think that ignoring Phelps is the answer to your problems. Does Phelps like attention? Yes. So do many serial killers. Should we ignore them? If you've known his family for as long as you claim, you should know what dangerous people they are. The more people that know about something dangerous, the better. 70.243.38.28 01:39, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The answer to evil speech is more speech. A lesson we've learned in Topeka through a lesson taught us by this man. I know that. I don't have to like it. Rick Boatright 00:04, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
