The Southern Poverty Law Center is considered generally reliable on topics related to [[hate group]]s and [[extremism]] in the United States. As an advocacy group, the SPLC is a [[WP:BIASED|biased and opinionated source]]. The organization's views, especially when labeling hate groups, should be [[WP:INTEXT|attributed]] per [[WP:RSOPINION]]. Take care to ensure that content from the SPLC constitutes [[WP:DUE|due weight]] in the article and conforms to the [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy. Some editors have questioned the reliability of the SPLC on non-United States topics. SPLC classifications should not automatically be included in the lead section of the article about the group which received the classification. The decision to include should rather be decided on a case-by-case basis.
