[edit] Verification
The problem with this list is that some of the persons either have no affiliation (former or otherwise) with CoS even mentioned in their respective articles, or their status as Scientologists isn't clarified. I brought this up in a few articles; see the talk pages for J.D. Salinger, Olivia D'Abo, Soleil Moon Frye, Quentin Hubbard. In the article on Mimi Rogers it says that her status with the Church is "unknown", therefore, I removed her from the category. Alcarillo 15:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- J. D. Salinger is kind of an odd case. There's evidence he tried about a half a dozen religions including Christian Science, Advaita Vedanta, Zen, the teachings of Edgar Cayce, and yes Scientology. How many of these he formally joined I don't know.--T. Anthony 18:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by T. Anthony (talk • contribs) 18:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC).
- I came to this talk page curious about the same issue. I agree that if a verifiable claim of a former affiliation with Scientology isn't made in a person's article they shouldn't be categorized here. Category:Anti-Semitic people has a nice set of rules. There are also some people here (Katharine McPhee, for instance) who dabbled in Scientology, but never actually joined the religion. I wouldn't call myself a former Presbyterian because I once went to a service at a Presbyterian church. --djrobgordon 23:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
