Cuban Citizenship
editThe article subject's Cuban citizenship is referenced to several articles that do not, in fact, say that Cruz continues to be a Cuban citizen. They all agree that he was born and grew up in Cuba, that he was at one time a Canadian citizen, and that he is now an American citizen; but none of them state whether or not Cruz retained or renounced his Cuban citizenship at any point. I could not find any sources that confirm this one way or the other. It would not be appropriate to carry out original research to determine whether citizenship rules in Canada or the United States required renunciation of citizenship in another country at the time Cruz obtained them; at the same time, it would also be original research to interpret Cuba's citizenship rules as saying that Cruz is definitely a dual citizen. How best to resolve this? The sources don't support what is said in the article, but there don't seem to be any sources that could truly clarify the situation. Is the hypothetically ongoing Cuban citizenship really that relevant to the article? Risker (talk) 22:04, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Credibility
editCruz also claims he was an anti-Batista revolutionary, but all the circumstances thoroughly researched fail to find any evidence of that. He could claim he was born on the moon, but it wouldn't belong in the article as fact.Activist (talk) 22:45, 18 June 2021 (UTC) Conditions for the issuance of a student visa in the 1950s included receipt of ongoing financial support and forbade working for wages. The minimum Texas wage at the time was $1.00/hour. It also included fluency in English as a requirement. The notion he could learn English by going to the movies is absurd.

- I note that this Wikipedia article identifies Cruz as a minister. He's never had any training for such a role. He's never had a congregation. Simply him calling himself a minister, doesn't make him one, any more than calling himself a frog would make him a frog. Activist (talk) 00:37, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
