Paul Gottfried, not Richard Spencer
The term was coined in 2008 by Paul Gottfried — Richard Spencer merely created the website in 2010.

- I believe Spencer coined the term "alt-right," whereas Gottfried first used the term "alternative right." Gottfried is already mentioned in the article for this. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 20:57, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

White supremacist Richard Spencer coined the term in 2010 to define a movement centered on white nationalism, and has been accused of doing so to whitewash overt racism, white supremacism, and neo-Nazism.[1][2][3][4][5] Spencer has repeatedly quoted from Nazi propaganda and spoken critically of the Jewish people,[5][6] although he has denied being a neo-Nazi. Alt-right beliefs have been described as white supremacist,[7][8][9]
DUMB. Alt-Right is much more than Richard Spencer. In fact he isn't even a big deal. Yet you have half of the first paragraph about him.
WTF?

Spencer in lead section
Reply to question tag:
I'm not the OP here, but I came to this article to read about an ideology. The founder should be in a section on the page, but I'm not interested in him and, if it's an umbrella term, he, being one person, can't represent all of the alt-right. Having info about him right near the top is confusing and clearly presented in such a way as to demonize this umbrella ideology to readers before they have a chance to understand what this is about.
So, whoever is good at editing things around here should have one, short sentence about Spencer at the top, without mentioning his specific brand of alt right (which is completely irrelevant to a page that is meant to describe all of the alt-right) and then, maybe, if they still want to demonize the alt right with a scary example, they can be more surreptitious about their propagandizing of an encyclopedia and make a section about him below.

- I don't agree about anyone trying to demonize anyone or anything, but I agree that there was an overemphasis on Spencer in the lead section, so I removed a sentence about him. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:26, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
