Bias in the article

The article includes elements such as "church representative". To me this is a problem because I do not see the scientology corporation as a church, so the content is problematic; possibly for others too. By calling the scientology corporation a church, you lend credibility to the claim of it being a religion - for people without a confession this is problematic.

Ideally the article could be rewritten in a more objective, facts-first manner. I don't know what other terms could be used that are more neutral; the term "corporation" may also be problematic due to legal status of scientology in the USA. A more objective term may be "organization", since that does not imply as much as either "religion" (what the ...) or "church" or corporation.

You may wonder why I made this comment? Ideally wikipedia should be as neutral as possible, at all times, based on facts, with as little bias as possible. I do not like the scientology corporation and the sooner it is disbanded, the better - but I also dislike reading content that insinuates that there is a "church representative", since that would imply that scientology is a church/religion, which it clearly is not (at the least not to people outside of the USA; it is not recognized in Europe as religion, for instance, so it CAN NOT legally be called a "church" there). 2A02:8388:1641:8380:419C:5734:36D4:E382 (talk) 01:24, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's also worth noting that Rosita Šorytė, who is quoted in the Covid section, works for a Scientology front group (ORLIR, the International Observatory of Religious Liberty of Refugees), and the publishers of her book, FoRB.PRESS, are another Scientology front group, with the general mission of having Scientology recognized as a religion in Europe. Her apologia for Miscavige's Covid comments shouldn't be presented as a neutral source. 172.113.46.119 (talk) 00:04, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Official Church of Scientoloy biographies describe Miscavige" There is a typo in this part of the lead. 2601:901:4300:1CF0:F5B1:8E41:2FD0:A86 (talk) 00:25, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Evasion of service

Is it worth mentioning in the article that Miscavige has for some reason been evading service for the human trafficking lawsuit between April and September 2022 (Scientology staff members telling process servers that "he doesn't work here and doesn't live here" at whatever building at which they try to find him)? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 20:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where has this been reported? —C.Fred (talk) 21:26, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Yes, it's worth mentioning in the relevant section. Cambial — foliar❧ 13:10, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change David Miscavige’s title from “Cleric” to “Cult Leader” 2607:FEA8:86A1:EE00:C96C:4D:4AFE:2E16 (talk) 23:24, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Question: The word 'cleric' appears nowhere in the article, and the page is already listed under Category:Cult leaders. What do you want changed? Tollens (talk) 23:33, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
