Multiple times over the past few months the line in the introduction of the article on Brooks' Christianity be removed and added back and removed again, I think it's time to discuss it and come to some form of consensus and settle with that before it becomes an edit war. I personally feel it should be included in the article, as Brooks mentions his faith very frequently and it is seemingly a huge part of his personal identity. Additionally, it does seem that he occasionally gains some notability from his faith with there being some Christian news outlets publishing articles when he mentions it in interviews. Furthermore, in an article about him that the Olympics published about him in April, it contained a section regarding his faith, and lastly, Aaron Brooks' YouTube channel primarily posts faith-based content, which reaffirms that it is a huge part of his personal identity and brand. All of this points to the idea that you would not be able to tell someone about Aaron Brooks without mentioning his faith. Given this evidence, I will be adding the line back for the time being, however, I must admit that I am not super well-versed in all of the terms for biography pages, and I look forward to future discussion of this topic to reach consensus.

There are multiple sources discussing his faith. Brooks discusses it in almost every interview and wears Christian clothing. I think it should be included. PerseusMeredith (talk) 02:26, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t think it should be included in that section. Create a “Personal life” section, put it there and expand as much as you want.
He’s a wrestler, his religion is not relevant enough to add it in the main section of the article. It’d be different if he was an activist or something like that, but he’s not. Let’s try to keep the main section of the article relevant to what the person does.
His personal beliefs and morals can be added into a personal life section, which is what it is. Say he’s a patriot for his country, you shouldn’t go to the main section and say “…he’s a U23 World champion. Brooks is a patriot.” Even if he is, it’s not relevant enough to put it there. That’s my opinion. Tomascr7 (talk) 18:56, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
