The Wikipedia answer (yes, there is an answer), is to cite authorities
and experts, and if there is significant disagreement on a subject, be
sure to cite all sides fairly and sympathetically.
Regarding the specific passage in question here, an applicable
official Wikipedia policy might be "No original research" [[WP:NOR]].
In other words, if no scholarly or ecclesiastical source can be found
that discusses the idea, you have good backing to request that the
article not "go there". Simply cite [[WP:NOR]] (after reading it, of
course) and say, "Cite your sources, or please leave it out."
There are so many facts (citations of existing sources) to be added to
Wikipedia that there is really no time to be arguing for interesting
original conclusions.
Would my current statement on there be proper? I figure while people
are so interested in keeping Mormons on there, that I just be honest
about the Mormon position with cited sources so all can see what we
really believe. If any have sources that contradict my points on
there, please feel free to discuss them on the "discuss" page.
Or would it just be better to remove it with [[WP:NOR]] as you suggest?
