Talk:Franklin Graham

This is really a franchise, isn't it?

Sheer libel. Just a small family business.

Didn't Frankie get arrested for mooning from a car window way back when? Hopefully somebody will put up a photo.

According to 2023 990 filed by SP, Franklin's comp was ~$880k.

SP revenue has certainly skyrocketed in last ten years. In 2023 it was over $1 billion, and ~$41 million was from investment income alone.

The 2023 grants, however, totaled a modest $381,902,222.

Haven't yet checked if Wiki for SP is updated. FallenM (talk) 18:21, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

According to @Melcous "Meetings with world leaders" is not an encyclopedic list.

I always thought that in Wikipedia, it's common to include sections detailing meetings with world leaders, especially when such interactions are significant to the individual's role or mission. There are many articles about political figures that include comprehensive lists of meetings or travels. Such as "List of international prime ministerial trips made by David Cameron" for example.

Looking at pages such as Oprah Winfrey (mentions her meetings with U.S. Presidents and world leaders, particularly in relation to her influence in media and philanthropy), Bill Gates (covers his meetings with U.S. and world leaders through his philanthropy and global health activism), Elon Musk (mentions his meetings with world leaders and policymakers), Pope Francis (contains a section documenting diplomatic meetings with world leaders, including U.S. presidents and other religious leaders), not to metntion that Billy Graham has a dedicated section "Pastor to presidents", which systematically lists every U.S. president he met and includes details of those encounters, I would argue that this kind of list is encyclopedic.

But let's hear what others think? Se5hat03 (talk) 17:29, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Also worth adding for context that the meetings listed are not casual encounters but represent significant interactions in the context of this guys work. He's is not just a religious figure but a key player in US politics and religious diplomacy. Se5hat03 (talk) 17:36, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Maybe a rewriting of the section would make more sense - not to list as meetings but list encounters and influence. I would apretiate your feedback @Melcous. Se5hat03 (talk) 18:03, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

I agree that you've gone beyond what is encyclopedic, I would work due meetings with world leaders into other sections. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:26, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

I agree it makes more sense, after reflecting on it. Thank you. Se5hat03 (talk) 13:03, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
