Talk:Neil Gaiman

Relevant?

I like a lot of Gaiman's works (including the comics), but I don't see why he's suitable for the wiki. I don't think the Scientology link is enough. Woodgod (talk) 16:19, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Because he is a critic of Scientology and, as such, is relevant to that topic. I highly doubt this article would portray him in negative light with that in mind. The Spikey Punk ^{I'm punking my punk!} 16:21, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Didn't think he was a critic of it. No mention of it in the article. Woodgod (talk) 18:11, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't say so outright, but if you read the article, it's certainly implied. In summary: although he isn't an outright critic, his works seem to imply criticism of his time as a Scientologist. The Spikey Punk ^{I'm punking my punk!} 14:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

I clipped the weasel-words, but I'll look for something a bit more concrete to back up that assertion. Religion certainly is a theme in several of Gaiman's books. Maybe we could just list works that deal with religion, and what they say about it? --TheLateGatsby (talk) 02:47, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't see the relevance of scientology here. Most people in life will explore various religions. Would you take the piss if he was a Buddhist for a while? Or even an O.T.O member like Grant Morrison. This site seemes to be obsessed with minor cults. --82.2.75.224 (talk) 08:52, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

He grew up in Scientology, which is rather different from a dalliance - David Gerard (talk) 13:56, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Delete?

This was delete tagged four months ago & hasn't got any better. I don't see much mission relevance & suggest we go ahead with deleting it. Wéáśéĺóíď^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 23:03, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

The whole mission relevance is that his father is a highly-placed Scientologist. Delete. Sophie^Wilder 23:12, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Yup, I say delete. - GrantC (talk) 23:36, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
