WP:IINFO does not apply, as the list is what makes the subject notable. It is precisely why we include such lists for Percy Bysshe Shelley or Oscar Wilde.

Since Scott's birthday date has been removed from the page recently, here are some arguments for the removal:
1. Scott's birthday that the article was claiming was not sourced.
2. According to VoterRecords.com, Christopher Scott Cawthon, a different person sharing the same name is 47, making it the same age as the one that was claimed in the article. This could potentially be a result of a mixup.
3. Examples of online discussion posts where the stated birthday is disputed:
CrimsonCube ( talk) 15:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
4. Scott himself has confirmed this date not to be true here - in section Halloween Update News on 26th of July - "First of all, thanks for all of the birthday wishes even though it's not my birthday. There is a lot of misinformation about me on the internet, surprise, surprise. ;)"

all I would like to change is his birthday as in a interview, scott confirmed that his birthday is 31st of february DanielGill03 ( talk) 18:48, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
The very first sentence states that Cawthon is a "animator, author, philanthropist, producer, video game designer, video game developer, voice actor, and writer". He is not widely known for most of these, so I believe it is appropriate to remove all but video game developer and maybe author. At the very least, the redundant ones should be removed (video game designer and writer). Icedmorning ( talk) 19:52, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
As of April 28, 2021, at 19:19, I had made an edit changing his date of birth back to the usual rumored "July 26, 1971" when I had noticed, it was switched to 1978. The next day, April 29, at 12:10, it was reverted by a guess editor, and the reasoning for why it was reverted was that they told me that "Scott debunked that", and provided a link to a reddit post addressing the misinformation. I do not blame them. Why? Well, there has been a lot of misinformation lately, or should I say, a long time. And this is not the only article to have some misinformation, there are a lot of other articles that carry a lot of a misinformation about various topics. And my question is, where is exactly does this misinformation come from?
Now I know, this website is one of Wikipedia's Blacklist's, but I also originally got his biography information from Famous Birthdays. Also, the reddit post from 10 months ago (published July 26, 2020), I'm sure depicts a screenshot of a tweet from 6 years ago, (published July 26, 2015), Where Scott address's the birthday wishes he receives even though it is not his birthday and all the other misinformation about him, and there are still false claims being spreaded. I am a bit neutral at this moment, but still shocked by this, and hopefully that there will be an improvement. Xfhxzf ( talk) 00:59, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
The lead states that Cawthon is a "former game developer". However, I find his retirement announcement to be unclear whether or not he's fully retiring from game development as a whole or just the Five Night's at Freddy's series. So, should it be written as game developer or former game developer? Icedmorning ( talk) 00:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
Polygon [1] clarifies that he's retiring from public game development as a whole, so I cited it in the lede. Icedmorning ( talk) 12:51, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
References
I read that the retirement was due to some political controversy but I also heard that it was because some discord user named Blue Kid!!!! doxxed him. True or false? By the way here's where I got the info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BR20 DaCrazy ( talk • contribs) 18:44, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
I checked the site right here, and he donated to the following people.
John Cornyn a transphobe and homophobe.
Kevin McCarthy (California politician) another homophobe.
Cory Gardner homophobe.
Donald Trump who is clearly anti-LGBTQ+.
Although not all the individuals have or mention anti-LGBTQ+ views, like I haven't found any sources regarding Mitch McConnell or Joe Collins.
It also appears he donated to Elise Stefanik who is an interesting case because at first she was okay with it then went against it.
CycoMa ( talk) 20:55, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
"He rationalized his actions, claiming that he does not posses any anti-LGBTQ+ views, saying that all his donations were purely for economic reasons. He claims, that in his personal belief, Republican politicians would do more good for the whole society, including members of LGBTQ+, than democrats would."
Is this really necessary. How does including these sentences line up with WP:MANDY? Cawthon's claim that he's not anti-LBGTQ isn't supported by the objective fact that he donated to openly anti-LGBTQ politicians. 46.97.170.112 ( talk) 09:49, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
I replaced it with "<!-- [[Republican Party (U.S.)|Republican]] --><!-- Not a politician. Putting this in the infobox puts undue emphasis on his political leanings. -->". I see there is mention of his politics in the body, and that seems adequate. Shajure ( talk) 21:05, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
How do you feel about adding a bolded subsection for the Public image section? It may provide easier navigation to users who arrive at the article looking for information about the donation controversy. I won't add it if you don't think it's a good idea per se. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhenKnightFalls ( talk • contribs)
"On June 10, 2021, Cawthon trended on Twitter when his political donations were shared on Twitter. Barring a donation to Democrat representative Tulsi Gabbard, all the donations were to Republican candidates and organizations. Cawthon subsequently confirmed in a statement posted on Reddit that he is a Republican, has made significant financial donations in support of conservative political candidates, and is pro-life. He also claimed that after the donations were uncovered, he had been doxxed and had received threats of violence and home invasion. While the reaction to the response was positive on Cawthon's Reddit post, reaction was mixed on social media sites like Twitter. Members of the LGBTQ+ community, who make up a significant portion of the fan base of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, reacted negatively. A few days after the donations were discovered," I propose to delete this entire mess. He wasn't a pol. Why does it matter? wp:undue Shajure ( talk) 02:57, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

In the public image section, it is stated that the LGBTQ+ community "makes up a significant portion of the fan base of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise." It has a source for it, but the claim is from an article that briefly mentions it, without itself providing a source or proof. This seems like a general statement that cannot be proven, as I'm sure other series like Sonic The Hedgehog, Mario, or even GTA likely have the same amount of LGBTQ+ fans. This statement cannot be proven, and it is not as if the FNAF series is known for featuring LGBTQ+ characters. This statement seems to be based more on feelings than an actual source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Okay-At-Best Mr. IS ( talk • contribs) 19:59, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

After the backlash from him donating to republicans he said he was retiring from the FNAF franchise but after that he still made games, books and was involved with the movie. So is he really still retired ? I know that’s not the word they used in the article but he said he was stepping back and it doesn’t seem to have happened.

According to IMDb, and many websites, Scott Cawthon, the game's creator, got having nightmares about the character Bonnie during the game's development. But it might be a hoax or not. So, should i make something saying "Scott Cawthon got having nightmares about Bonnie while developing the game "Five Nights at Freddy's"."? But it will probably hard to find a good source.

I am a bit neutral at this moment, but still shocked by this, and hopefully that there will be an improvement. Xfhxzf ( talk) 00:59, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
The lead states that Cawthon is a "former game developer". However, I find his retirement announcement to be unclear whether or not he's fully retiring from game development as a whole or just the Five Night's at Freddy's series. So, should it be written as game developer or former game developer? Icedmorning ( talk) 00:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
Polygon [1] clarifies that he's retiring from public game development as a whole, so I cited it in the lede. Icedmorning ( talk) 12:51, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

I read that the retirement was due to some political controversy but I also heard that it was because some discord user named Blue Kid!!!! doxxed him. True or false? By the way here's where I got the info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BR20 DaCrazy ( talk • contribs) 18:44, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
I checked the site right here, and he donated to the following people.
John Cornyn a transphobe and homophobe.
Kevin McCarthy (California politician) another homophobe.
Cory Gardner homophobe.
Donald Trump who is clearly anti-LGBTQ+.
Although not all the individuals have or mention anti-LGBTQ+ views, like I haven't found any sources regarding Mitch McConnell or Joe Collins.
It also appears he donated to Elise Stefanik who is an interesting case because at first she was okay with it then went against it.

"He rationalized his actions, claiming that he does not posses any anti-LGBTQ+ views, saying that all his donations were purely for economic reasons. He claims, that in his personal belief, Republican politicians would do more good for the whole society, including members of LGBTQ+, than democrats would."
Is this really necessary. How does including these sentences line up with WP:MANDY? Cawthon's claim that he's not anti-LBGTQ isn't supported by the objective fact that he donated to openly anti-LGBTQ politicians. 46.97.170.112 ( talk) 09:49, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
I replaced it with "<!-- [[Republican Party (U.S.)|Republican]] --><!-- Not a politician. Putting this in the infobox puts undue emphasis on his political leanings. -->". I see there is mention of his politics in the body, and that seems adequate. Shajure ( talk) 21:05, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
How do you feel about adding a bolded subsection for the Public image section? It may provide easier navigation to users who arrive at the article looking for information about the donation controversy. I won't add it if you don't think it's a good idea per se. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhenKnightFalls ( talk • contribs)
"On June 10, 2021, Cawthon trended on Twitter when his political donations were shared on Twitter. Barring a donation to Democrat representative Tulsi Gabbard, all the donations were to Republican candidates and organizations. Cawthon subsequently confirmed in a statement posted on Reddit that he is a Republican, has made significant financial donations in support of conservative political candidates, and is pro-life. He also claimed that after the donations were uncovered, he had been doxxed and had received threats of violence and home invasion. While the reaction to the response was positive on Cawthon's Reddit post, reaction was mixed on social media sites like Twitter. Members of the LGBTQ+ community, who make up a significant portion of the fan base of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, reacted negatively. A few days after the donations were discovered," I propose to delete this entire mess. He wasn't a pol. Why does it matter? wp:undue Shajure ( talk) 02:57, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

In the public image section, it is stated that the LGBTQ+ community "makes up a significant portion of the fan base of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise." It has a source for it, but the claim is from an article that briefly mentions it, without itself providing a source or proof. This seems like a general statement that cannot be proven, as I'm sure other series like Sonic The Hedgehog, Mario, or even GTA likely have the same amount of LGBTQ+ fans. This statement cannot be proven, and it is not as if the FNAF series is known for featuring LGBTQ+ characters. This statement seems to be based more on feelings than an actual source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Okay-At-Best Mr. IS ( talk • contribs) 19:59, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

This page is biased: One: They only put the FNaF games in the Video Games section. Two: Leave the product information to other Wikipedia articles. No need to place it all on his Bio. Three: Erase all biased items.

After the backlash from him donating to republicans he said he was retiring from the FNAF franchise but after that he still made games, books and was involved with the movie. So is he really still retired ? I know that’s not the word they used in the article but he said he was stepping back and it doesn’t seem to have happened.

Scott Cawthon is a semi-household name, and the lack of an image makes no sense. You can find plenty on the internet. Notakeyring ( talk) 18:22, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
According to IMDb, and many websites, Scott Cawthon, the game's creator, got having nightmares about the character Bonnie during the game's development. But it might be a hoax or not. So, should i make something saying "Scott Cawthon got having nightmares about Bonnie while developing the game "Five Nights at Freddy's"."? But it will probably hard to find a good source.

Scott did not "begin his career developing family friendly christian games". His first christian game was 17 years after he began game development. He has made a single christian game in 28 years of game development. This is proved within this same article, but for some reason it is stated otherwise. It is unknown if scott even held christian beliefs before 2004.
Replace the first line in "Early Work" and the first line in the second paragraph of the article to combat the fictional narrative of "he devoted his art to christianity before FNAF". 2603:8081:3A05:3C0B:7D80:D0A2:5D82:E842 ( talk) 17:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
