This article was shorter than the section on the god in the overview article Baʿal. I've incorporated some of that material here, if it's sourced, but I don't claim to have verified it independently. Cynwolfe ( talk) 14:31, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Our own article already uses Hammon for most of its running text (including in the lead immediately after the current infelicitous form) and I'll patch up what's left. — LlywelynII 01:22, 17 August 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. Natg 19 ( talk) 23:18, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
This article has fallen victim to "Citation policing" and information removal, resulting in information missing on Baal Hamon. A important deity. Yet, claims that Baal Hamon was famous for "Child Sacrifice", a Roman smear campaign allegation against the god to demonize him, remains in the article. Editors should refrain from Deleting information, and instead adding a "citation needed" template for people to confirm the information, and not destroy the article, as is the case with many editors these days.

Although it is debated whether Baal Hammon was a deity to whom child sacrifice was regularly offered, there is enough decent evidence to include the claim that the Carthaginians practiced child sacrifice. However, the statement that Baal Hammon's powers depended on child sacrifice is wildly unscientific - we're discussing ancient religious practices, not some sort of imaginary devil's pact. Leaving in the claim that his cult seemed, at least at times, to include child sacrifice seems fair, but the wording should change to remove this idea of "powers" depending on child sacrifice - among other things, Baal Hammon was worshiped long after the Romans conquered Carthage and any human sacrifice would have stopped. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:45:501:7300:F0B5:E18A:3A43:2877 ( talk) 14:40, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
Can anyone provide a source with clear evidence that child sacrifice was, in fact, practiced by Carthaginians and that this notion is not the product of propaganda? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elmorefiretower ( talk • contribs)
If not, then the section that states that its name was mentioned in the Song of Solomon should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 191.111.39.109 ( talk) 04:03, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
