Too much weight given to a fringe theory?

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]
