Inclusion of Bible, Malcolm X information[edit]

EDIT: Added paragraph on Fain's rhetoric/strategies!! Reinstated the information along with related prose. Still open to discuss the issue if anyone has thoughts/feedback/etc!

I wanted to make a post for discussion as I deleted the line on Fain's use of quotations from the Bible and Malcolm X. I'm not sure it meets the bar for inclusion, and I'm concerned it reads as trivia vs. encyclopedic information? It doesn't seem to be widely reported on, and I'm not sure if it adds much to the article. Definitely an interesting fact, though! Perhaps if more coverage comes out on Fain's influences or rhetoric it could be integrated into a new section? Anyways, I'd love to hear other editors' thoughts on whether or not it's worth adding back! Goodlucklemonpig (talk) 17:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be helpful to know what are his actual quotes. The cite doesn't seem to include any Malcolm X quotations, for example.--Exjerusalemite (talk) 02:58, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That absolutely makes sense. I'm not sure how to rework the prose, but I did add a second cite that contains the Malcolm X quotation. I'll try to rephrase the in text reference later, unless you'd like to do so yourself! Goodlucklemonpig (talk) 16:32, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
