Comment – I'd only support this if the photo (minor flecks) is restored. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 07:25, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll support a restored version. JJARichardson (talk) 13:59, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be categorized under the "religious figures" as Hubbard is primarily known as the founder of the Church of Scientology? ―Howard • 🌽³³ 08:52, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The "writers" category felt more appropriate for Hubbard given Scientology is heavily derived from his works of science fiction. I wouldn't object to him being put under the "religious figures" category however. JJARichardson (talk) 14:38, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose its acceptable either way. ―Howard • 🌽³³ 14:45, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JJARichardson and Howardcorn33: I've restored it. File upload history was a mess, so I've replaced with the restoration universally so I could have the original visible. Will try to figure out what to do about the mess of uploads Support Restoration anyway. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.7% of all FPs.} 04:06, 30 October 2025 (
