Split off section for those separated from the movement

Curious about David P. Goldman, I took a look at his article and noticed the "LaRouche movement" box at the bottom. He's a former member of that group, but left (or was just kicked out), and it seemed unfair to imply, as this template seemed to do, that he's some kind of a current member. That also seems to be a BLP problem. So I looked at the articles for others listed in that "People" section and found a total of four that seem to be no longer part of the LaRouche movement and put them all in the separate section. Listing them in a simple "People" section would be a bit like putting Whittaker Chambers, James Burnham and The God that Failed writers in a "Communist movement" template and placing that at the bottom of each article. It's just misleading. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 04:17, 14 April 2010 (UTC) One other thing: I called the new section "People separated from the movement", which isn't very graceful wording.

J Gordon Edwards

I noticed that J. Gordon Edwards (entomologist and mountaineer) is included on this template. I not an expert on him or the LaRouche movement, but as best I can tell, his only connection to the movement seems to be publishing a single article in 21st Century Science and Technology. Is this enough to warrant inclusion on this template? Yilloslime TC 00:50, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
