Immediate attention

State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Balance?[edit]

If we read the first paragraph of this wiki article, then compare with this news article, the wiki article seems very positive: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60132760 Quaalude "leg-spreaders", "pig night", the "brainwashing", the "cult", "considered taking their own life" etc. etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.252.72.30 (talk) 20:50, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

WP:RECENTISM. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 20:57, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I second this! Has there been any resolution on why the extensive accusations against Hefner are not referenced in the introduction? It seems to be common practice to reference allegations (of this level) in introductions for other prominent figures. Bhf123 (talk) 00:36, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The lead simply summarizes the rest of the article. See WP:LEAD. Since there is nothing about these allegations in the article, they can't go in the lead. Also note that if someone wants to add this, it would need to be attributed to A&E. I would be opposed to adding these allegations unless they are coming from more than just one tabloid style TV show. GA-RT-22 (talk) 01:18, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ok I see now we do have a paragraph about this. I still wouldn't add it to the lead. GA-RT-22 (talk) 01:21, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Depictions[edit]

Are American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story and the Playboy Enterprises biopic both fiction? I thought a biopic by definition was biography, not fiction. Shouldn't these two along with Secrets of Playboy all be in a section just titled "Depictions"? GA-RT-22 (talk) 17:10, 31 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Controversies?[edit]

Why doesn't this article have a separate "Controversies" section, given the many accusations of sexual assault and emotional abuse that have been directed at Hefner over the years? 37.96.200.171 (talk) 22:30, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Controversy sections are generally discouraged. See WP:CSECTION. GA-RT-22 (talk) 23:06, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
