Lead[edit]

So, this lead should say why he's no longer CEO, right? – Muboshgu (talk) 04:03, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BLP noticeboard archive[edit]

FYI, a discussion of this article from November 2012 can be found in the archives of the WP:BLP Noticeboard at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive164#John Schnatter. (It doesn't say very much, and is basically about his Obamacare remarks.) —BarrelProof (talk) 06:17, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Religion[edit]

I removed the bit about his religion, as the only source we had was a Daily Banter (probably not reliable in any instance) article titled "Chick-Fil-A Isn't the Only Evil Fast Food Chain" - I have to imagine that article is not an RS. When I looked up Schnatter and the name of the church, I came up with list articles and local news results. Does anyone know of a reliable source which discusses his religion? ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 13:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV issue -- lack of proportionality[edit]

The section about Schnatter's use of a racial slur is balanced and well-sourced, but it constitutes a disproportionate part of the article's totality ... especially compared to the first 23 years of his leadership of the company. We have a responsibility under WP:BLP and WP:NPOV to give this issue appropriate weight. I'm going to try to add to that section and encourage others to do likewise, as that would be preferable to cutting material about the racial slur controversy. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 00:06, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think the first 23 years of his leadership outweigh the scandal of his exit?

But I would like to request that we rephrase so that the racial slur in question is not spelled out, reading it unexpectedly in a "respectable" corner of the internet hits like a slap in the face even when you're 'just reporting the facts'. 65.102.176.149 (talk) 05:19, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to tell you how to feel, but words have weight and carry meaning, and the attempt to mute, nullify and I guess in this case civilize them serves only to detract from the gravity of what's been said in exchange for I suppose some degree of comfort to to your personal sensibilities. I would ask, do we want to make what's been said more palatable, more digestable, less explicit than what it was? I think a degree of weight and the potential ensuing disgust are warranted - unnerving as they may be. And no, that doesn't mean never substitute in "n-word," I'm just saying there's a time and a place with a specific function for doing so - which also happens to be about 98% of cases.
