Neutrality?

I added a POV tag in here. There are references to his Front Sight community in glowing terms, and the positive media coverage about its creation. There's a brief mention under a litigation section but without followup, e.g., [1] . The controversy and the subject should be in the same area, not separated throughout the article. Out-of-date descriptions used in the present tense by no one should not occupy several times the space of a legal settlement involving some $8 million, if I'm reading this article correctly. It seems much of the neutrality problem is from word choice and PR material, and the rest is from how facts are structured. Or maybe I'm wrong. --Thatnewguy (talk) 02:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TNG, did you intend to add the POV tag to the talk page or to the actual article? E^robson (T^alk) 15:45, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this article has major POV issues. It also has no mention of Piazza having his assets seized in May of 2009 as according to this news article: http://www.pahrumpvalleytimes.com/2009/May-15-Fri-2009/news/28773367.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.135.238.55 (talk) 15:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Piazza didn't have his assets seized, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute did. See my question/note below. Ashton.Sanders (talk) 05:19, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree, this article seems like little more that a glowing puff piece. There are a lot of quotes from other sources, but very little meat to the whole thing. Just a bunch of hype about what a wonderful person he is, and how he is offering courses to people right after shootings. Personally I think the majorty of this one should be cut or cleaned up, as it seems like an advertisment more than anything else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.57.209.34 (talk) 22:58, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Include Front Sight?

The law suit against Front Sight is included on this page about Ignatius Piazza, but there is a much more thorough description of it on the Front Sight Firearms Training Institute page. Shouldn't Front Sight details be on the Front Sight Page? It's linked to enough in the article. Ashton.Sanders (talk) 20:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Explaining my edit

I removed both a link to the Scientology portal and the categorization of Piazza under Roman Catholics. The article makes no statements about his religious beliefs one way or the other and given that it does appear to be a matter of dispute, in the absence of clearly sourced information, I believe it would be best to omit both of these.
