Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Recent allegations of sexual misconduct regarding Hawking’s name being mentioned in the Epstein client clist
Does anybody know how to factor this in? I know we must wait for more information but at the very least we can add a stub saying there have been “allegations” and then see if the allegations are further proven then we edit accordingly 99.232.236.142 (talk) 03:23, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Allegations of what? HiLo48 (talk) 05:03, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest putting a subsection about the Epstein court case under the Personal life section, similar to the Sexual harassment lawsuits section on the Danny Elfman article. We will also need to take care to cite from reliable sources, as there are so many news outlets reporting on the Epstein documents as they have been recently made public. Panian513 05:21, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah it’s too early to discuss it as fact but it should definitely be mentioned in personal life as alleged and I mean alleged. I myself have very strong feelings in this but for the sake of journalistic integrity I would stress putting it as alleged until we get further information since this stuff has just been released. I myself am not a confirmed protection user hence why I have brought the subject for someone more skilled in editing and with more power to do so. 99.232.236.142 (talk) 06:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
is the telegraph a reliable source because I know they have an even more detailed article on the allegations against Hawking but I’m unsure if you guys think the telegraph is reliable 99.232.236.142 (talk) 06:29, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly WHAT do you want to allege? HiLo48 (talk) 06:33, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@99.232.236.142 This source says He said false allegations had been made, including one he described as "the new version in the Virgin Islands that Stephen Hawking participated in an underage orgy", which suggests false allegation so I think it might be a bit early to include it in Hawking's article as of now, we'll probably get more information within the next few days/weeks to write about this correctly. I do think that we should add this to an article relating to Epstein, however. —Panamitsu(talk) 07:03, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So from what I have read it says that Epstein emailed Maxwell telling her to deny that Stephen Hawking participated in an “underage orgy”. Now obviously we must wait a couple more days for more information to come out but as you can see my main root point here is that Stephen Hawking is being named as complicit since you know Epstein is emailing his accomplice to deny that hawking was a participant basically telling her to lie. Again it’s too early but more confirmation and information will come out soon 99.232.236.142 (talk) 08:27, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry didn’t read it right I might have misunderstood. So yes Epstein did email about it being a “false allegation”. Again however another source that telegraph article didn’t say that. Again it’s just been a day since the news broke out so we must wait longer do determine if the allegations are true or not. 99.232.236.142 (talk) 08:29, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think a really good idea would be to wait for the website hosting the Epstein client list to come back online and then directly access it. This will take longer than the actual news coming out but would be direct evidence and would help clear up a lot of misunderstanding and all 99.232.236.142 (talk) 08:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
She can't even spell his name properly? And now it's been all over national TV news, worldwide. That's serious. And somewhat sickening? Martinevans123 (talk) 22:01, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In some ways, she speaks better English than Epstein, who misspelled Hawking's name by three letters. Virginia only misspelled it by one letter. lol ——🦝 The InteraccoonaleWill be the raccoon race (talk・contribs) 04:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely include, since he's in the Epstein documents, but be careful to be strict with the sources. There's a fake image going around about him and midgets that I've seen some people mistake as real. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 22:59, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Important to note these are allegations. Quite rightly, the page has had an increase in protection to stop vandals. Englandsupport4 (talk) 00:41, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This issue has already been tackled on other pages. For example, see the last 3-4 years of edit comments for Marvin Minsky. The decision here should follow the consensus elsewhere: it should be included as a subsection in the “Personal life” section, and it should stick solely to the facts while only using the highest caliber of sources.
This is not a new problem. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel, and the info should be added asap, since people are coming to Wikipedia to find out information about the ongoing unsealing of the related documents. Phatmatt12188 (talk) 00:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still waiting to read precisely what words people want to add to the article. HiLo48 (talk) 01:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
