Too much weight given to a fringe theory?

[edit]

For context, see the section above this one.

By my count the article has 1840 words out of a 3214 word article (57%) that discuss whether or not David and Jonathan had a homosexual relationship. In particular, the "Traditional Christian interpretation" section, despite millions of words written on other aspects of David and Jonathan, paints a picture of bible scholars only discussing whether they were gay.

In my opinion, this is far too much WP:WEIGHT given to a WP:FRINGE theory. I have opened up a discussion on this at Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard#David and Jonathan again. It is my intention to remove all material not sourced to reputable scholars. --Guy Macon (talk) 01:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I support such removals. See my comment here: Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard#David and Jonathan again. Crossroads -talk- 20:17, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"It is my intention to remove all material not sourced to reputable scholars."
Tom Horner and John Boswell are reputable scholars as mentioned in the article. Or... are you saying that no scholar which thinks that David and Jonathan were gay are reputable, because you only accept scholars that agree with the conservative ideas about their relationship? 2601:152:4C7C:1D0:7CFB:53E9:A2BF:11C0 (talk) 00:42, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
