Added anonymously: He likes to watch Pokémon because the main character Ash Ketchum is depicted as an atheist as Ash Ketchum was never seen practicing a religion (including Christianity) in the show.

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

To the person editing this most actively right now, you are right that WP:Notability is only a policy about what gets a dedicated article. But I think it's common sense that we should be reluctant to create a subsection of a BLP for information that can only be found in primary sources. I did a Google search for someone who may have written about Carroll appearing on Making Sense and found nothing. What makes this more relevant than him going on Joe Rogan or Coleman Hughes? A list of all such appearances would be trivia. Connor Behan ( talk) 11:59, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello @ Firefangledfeathers:, @ Connor Behan:. Previously, I introduced Patheos' report on the debate and Firefanglefeathers removed it, stating "not reliable." However, I argue Patheos does not need to be among the sources that are considered reliable as we are not citing them for a factual information about someone or something else. We are just narrating what they did and citing them about something about them. What do you say? -- 81.213.215.83 ( talk) 03:58, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
@ Jordgette: and the IP 96.242.220.184, the two of you alleged that the inclusion of the book named Science refutes religion that was writtena as a witty retort the debate titled Does Science refutes religion is an advertisement. The inclusion of the book was intended to inform the reader of how highly this debate was regarded, the link cited was from the Amazon. What is the point here? Citing Amazon is inappropraite? If so, can the book be included in the way the book cited in the 61st citation cited in the current version of the article? -- 81.213.215.83 ( talk) 03:44, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
To the IP hopper who keeps insisting that Carroll is a "movie actor", you need to present reliable sources that describe him as such. IMDb is not a reliable source, and even if it was he is only credited with a single voice role on that website. All other appearances are in programs where he appears as himself.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:35, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

What do you say about this question, @ Hob Gadling:, @ Jordgette:, @ Ponyo:, @ Firefangledfeathers:, @ Connor Behan: ? -- 81.213.215.83 ( talk) 05:42, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Provided that Victor J. Stenger is labelled as a philosopher, does Sean Carroll qualify to be labelled as a philosopher on Wikipedia? He has as much credentials as Victor J. Stenger: Carroll has a degree in philosophy, Stenger does not. They both have published materials in regard to philosophy, both of them advocated atheism and naturalism. Also, philosophical works of Sean Carroll generated more interest than that of Victor Stenger: Carroll's debates being talked about and published more than Stenger's, Carroll's articles have been used by sources like The Blackwell Companion to Science and Christianity. Carroll taught university classes on the history of atheism.
So, why not label him as a philosopher if Stenger is labelled? -- 81.213.215.83 ( talk) 19:32, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
It´s questionable to have a section like this included. Provocative discussions where you beforehand know that no one is going "win" should not be presented in this biased way with commentaries about who delivered the best arguments or was "using provocative rethoric".
Better to write something like "Sean M Carroll has participated in several public discussions on controversial subjects..." and then just list them with references and no subjective judgements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eda001 ( talk • contribs) 08:55, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
