Why is his religion here, I understand a lack of info, but expand this or delete this reference. Zendu ( talk) 04:01, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
While I agree on principle, we don't have any of that other information, so it seems to just stick out in the article as poor formating. I hopped on two other directors in an attempt to discredit religion as biographical (lucas and kubrik) and it seems you are right (good show old chap). Still, I would be much happier if it was in a block of other such facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zendu ( talk • contribs) 21:58, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
There's 3 paragraphs in the article. One is about his religion, which is irrelevant to his notability. Also, I'm sure about 75% of Americans have been baptized, which is one definition of "Christian".'
As I basically said above, this is a short article because Carruth is only marginally notable and no one cares enough to write about him, but that shouldn't be a reason to leave out basic biographical facts, like religious beliefs which appear to be strongly held. If he was married and had a family there would be one sentence about that; would that also be "undue weight"? Not everything in a biography needs to be relevant to the subject's notability, although in this case it is relevant to his notability since he's described his religion as an influence on his art. Being baptized is one definition of "Christian," but as is clear from reading the interview that isn't the relevant definition here. Prezbo ( talk) 03:37, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
In that case you should write a paragraph based on the interview for the main article. But even so, I'm dubious. We don't have any information about his family, either. john k ( talk) 01:13, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

I've reverted the addition of Carruth's middle name again per
WP:BLPPRIVACY. To include the full name, it must either be (a) widely published by reliable sources, or (b) published by the source in a way that we can infer they're okay with it being made public. An example is A verified social media account of an adult article subject saying about themselves something along the lines of "today is my 50th birthday"
. That's not the case here. If Carruth's middle name—or date of birth, for that matter—ever does get widely published by reliable sources or unambiguously by Carruth himself, then we can include it.
WP:BLP is clear that we need to be cautious and conservative when it comes to claims about living persons.

The "years active" in the infobox goes to 2020... I was looking for a cite of this in the article (or at least a comment justifying it), but found nothing. Anyone know why this is asserted as the effective end of his career? Peace and Passion ☮ ( "I'm listening....") 06:12, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Carruth says he has “one last project” in front of him before he steps back from filmmaking, though—so that last project wasn't The Modern Ocean? And after that, all of the abuse allegations came out. I guess what I'm saying is, the 2020 end date isn't sourced and could be removed. However, we have no sources saying that he is working on anything post-2020, either. Woodroar ( talk) 16:42, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
