David Manning PhD cannot be verified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjochannan (talk • contribs) 10:44, 20 June 2008
I've reverted the new addition on allegations of sexual harrassment. One of the references given, via a "rickross" web site, contained an article ostensibly from the St. Louis Dispatch. A google search did not produce an independent (non-rickross) result. If it can be established that this story did appear in the St. Louis Dispatch, then possibly these allegations can go on the page. However, since there is mention of a lawsuit, it would have to be shown what the outcome of that lawsuit was - and if it was simply dismissed then I'm not sure it would be appropriate to restore this section.

added the word music to "video was produced by BarelyPolitical" to make it more clear that it's the crush on obama video being referenced and not the videos of manning's sermons —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.183.197.216 (talk) 08:49, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Any reference to this man's PhD needs to be removed. He created his own 'school' and gave himself a PhD. The school isn't accredited, and he's clearly a fucking moron. PhD is a suffix of deference, remove it here as it is not applicable. 71.217.1.106 (talk) 01:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Where is this crazy ex-con's rap sheet? He just admitted to "being turned on to the Word whilst incarcerated" on Howard Stern. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.214.41 (talk) 12:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Should the infomation I added on "God Save Christmas" and "The President Who Stole Christmas" be added? :'( Angie Y. (talk) 01:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Many of the people making edits on this article and discussing them not only have the language skills of a sixth grader that just learned how to curse but they also have biased opinions. The article is okay but it needs more information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.82.93.57 (talk) 05:25, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps another segment should be added regarding his views of homosexuality (See his youtube video.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daffodil0127 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
I think the sentence saying he called Oprah Winfrey a "Babylonian whore" is a problem. This is what the source said but I think Manning really said she is the "Whore of Babylon". Not a compliment to be sure, but not exactly the same thing. I think there are potential BLP problems here. On the other hand I don't think anyone would take the statement seriously.

I am going to flag this with a NPOV flag that needs to stay untill someone can find something nutral to say about the man or find somthing positive to set off the section listed as 2008 elections. If this is a biography article it needs to be FAIR AND BALANCED!!! As it is currently written, it looks like a Smear job.216.180.189.229 (talk) 22:43, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
If nothing of merit has come out of the mouth of this pastor, then scrounging up something positive to say for the sake of "balance" is disingenuous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daffodil0127 (talk • contribs) 08:47, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
The last section about his activism against gentrification seems a positive agenda to keep housing affordable for his community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DE:7729:A100:2D19:CD0A:628D:2AC0 (talk) 21:29, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
The revisions by others here are erroneous. This insert is a summary of the facts which occurred and were entered permanently into the record of the proceeding. In the USA we do not have a POV in the Courtroom. Only facts as evidence. The information added here is simply a summary of the trial as it transpired. it is neither POB or libel in the good 'ol usa. just the facts, ma'am Furtive admirer (talk) 06:38, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
I have put a brief reference to the trial back in the article based on Alex Pareene's coverage at Salon.com Dr. Conspiracy (talk) 02:10, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Do not post personal information about living people, which has not been released by the subject. Posting of undisclosed personal information, whether or not accurate, is unacceptable content which can and will be suppressed under the oversight policy.

This has indeed been confirmed, as he has posted a photograph of his degree on Atlah.org. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.167.214.114 (talk) 03:33, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Another user feels this section should be moved. I feel it should stay high up in the article for the moment as the sale is due in less than 3 weeks and is highly topical. As this is about an American the user was right to change from a UK way of writing the date. I don't know US ways of writing dates so well. Proxima Centauri (talk) 12:28, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
"The Raw Story reported that Manning has appeared on Fox News.[3]"
This seems odd phrasing, why cite 3rd party (which is not particularly the greatest source itself) when one can find videos of the principal subject on Fox on YT etc directly

There are some strong videos of him denouncing Trump, calling him an orange-haired orangutan, etc. I don't know what constitutes a reliable source for a BLP - would such a video count? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 18:50, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

A friend told me that there have been abuse allegations, and serious questions about the ATLAH high school. I came to Wikipedia to read more, but did not find them mentioned. But I found these articles with a Google search.

Would someone please update the articles about Pastor Manning and his church/school? Thanks in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.35.55.103 (talk) 23:48, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
