There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.

  1. It appears to debunk some woo-ey claims regarding brown dwarfs.--JorisEnter (talk) 08:31, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
  2. It's got the woo debunk right in there - David Gerard (talk) 08:39, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
  3. Keep, but add links to Planet X and Nibiru to here. ℕoir LeSable (talk) 21:18, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
  4. Leave it, please. Good to debunk Nibiru-esque claims as stated above. --Panzerfaust (talk) 23:56, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
  5. An obvious keep in my book. For science! Reverend Black Percy (talk) 10:49, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
  6. Another piece of evidence for the thesis that a significant part of RW's current userbase doesn't actually give a fuck about skeptical topics, or when it does, it ignores what misinformation is actually out there, focusing instead on name-calling and back-patting. Planet X/Nibiru was big just a few years ago.--ZooGuard (talk) 18:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
    ZG, that's shit and you should know it. Ignorance != apathy. FU22YC47P07470 (talk/stalk) 02:43, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
  7. Sans Coleman. Herr FuzzyKatzenPotato (talk/stalk) 02:43, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Merge/redirect[edit]

  • Put the woo'tastic elements into Planet X/Nibiru/Velikovsky/Saturn with the explanatory and debunking bits attached. If it's to be kept, it needs to be expanded with a lot more brown dwarf-related woo to illustrate why it merits a separate article. ScepticWombat (talk) 11:47, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Goat[edit]

  1. It has a "woo" section; doesn't that automatically confer missionality? Men's Rights EXTREMIST (talk) 01:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
    The article has nothing wooey about it on its own, it is in like one paragraph and it is more of a footnote in teh article, it is explained well enough in the articles it mentions in the woo section Bubba41102The place where you can scream at me 01:23, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
