Cleanup
I have tried to clean up this article. There is some more information about the family, a link to their website (yes, they actually have one), and I removed the pejorative comments about welfare and the kids disinterest in Bible study (these are not proven or cited). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.190.62.54 (talk • contribs) 13:41, October 13 2005 (UTC)
Moved to Duggar family
Since the father is really only semi-notable for his past political career in state government, yet the family is extremely notable in popular culture, I've moved the content of this page over to Duggar family, cleaned it up, and hopefully will engender more participation. --Kickstart70-T-C 03:12, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Religious background
If they are strongly influenced by Bill Gothard, they are Mormons, not Christians. There is a vast difference! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.255.80.83 (talk • contribs) 22:06, June 17 2006 (UTC)
- "Mormon is a colloquial term used to refer specifically to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" - Mormons ARE Christians. --Kickstart70-T-C 23:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Bill Gothard is not in any way affiliated with the Mormons. His background is from an independent Bible church in the Chicago area. His material (with which I am quite familiar) in no manner espouses the teachings of the LDS church. The only similarities the two have is that both are supporters of couples having large families.

Cleanup
This article is poorly written. Excessive use of parenthesis are throughout. Also many of the claims in the article are unsourced. We need to pay heed to WP:BLP, WP:V, and WP:RS. I will work on this when I get some time. Feel free to be bold and get to work on improving it! Vivaldi (talk) 02:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
November 27 Overhaul
I just did a semi-major overhaul to remove the paretheses and useless wording. Feel free to revert, but I tried my best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.108.15 (talk • contribs) 03:24, November 28 2006 (UTC)

Requested move
Jim Bob Duggar → Duggar family — Jim Bob Duggar is best known as the father of the Duggar family, which is well-known in popular culture for the sixteen children born to Jim Bob and his wife, Michelle. Jim Bob Duggar, despite his political career, does not seem to meet the standards for notability on his own. However, the Duggar family is sufficiently notable for an article. I have prepared an edit of the article that features the content about the family prominently. Joie de Vivre 00:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Survey
- Add * '''Support''' or * '''Oppose''' on a new line followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~~~~.
Support - I've seen how this has gone back and forth by looking at the histories of both articles and this looks good. (I was going to say that starting with the third paragraph (The Duggars are highly....), the article was only about the family. Then I saw the Survey.) Please keep the redirect from Jim Bob Duggar.--EarthPerson 22:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- I knew of both articles but have not looked back over them and the related AfD. I'm neutral on one or two articles. I'd just like a re-direct from one to the other should there be only one.--EarthPerson 18:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - in view of the exiting history at Duggar family, which was turned into a redirect after the AfD, a merge would be more appropriate, surely ? -- Beardo 17:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. AfD has already decided that we should have an article on JBD. This appears to be an attempt to bypass this decision, and I don't think we should have a bar of it! Andrewa 08:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

- Oh, please. This is not an "attempt to bypass" anything. I wasn't even aware that any of that had happened. If you look, I hadn't made any edits or comments during that time and I wasn't aware that this had already been discussed and decided. If you can manage to keep your hat on I will take care of this next year. Happy Holidays! Joie de Vivre 22:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Discussion
- Add any additional comments:
- Comment - this seems to be the opposite of the AfD discussion - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Duggar_family , where it was held that the family was non-notable but Jim Bob was (borderline). There is a history at Duggar family, too - hidden by the redirect. If we want to move, it should be a merge, not a move. -- Beardo 17:32, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
