2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

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.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

  1. Who’s Coughlan666? Why do we need an article on this? It was moved to funspace because people didn’t want it in main in 2009, and it’s sat there gathering dust ever since. Christopher (talk) 19:28, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
  2. At best worth a short mention under the Argumentum ad hominem page, if relevant at all which I doubt. Otherwise, it can go pop because this isn't a fallacy worth it's own article. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 20:10, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
  3. (EC.) Touches on good ideas, but doesn't take them anywhere. The YouTube person mentioned seems to have inspired the writing of the page, but the idea is not original to whoever that is. The talk page mentions a hope of growing it into a fun article, which never happened. Alternatively, I suppose it could have grown into an essay expressing more, but that didn't happen either. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 20:19, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
  4. Too similar to the "historian's fallacy", covered under presentism here. PanGalacticGargleBlaster (talk) 20:43, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
  5. Extremely low quality article whose sole reason for being in funspace is because it's too embarrassingly bad for mainspace. Gangster Computer God (talk) 20:50, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
  6. Doesn't belong in funspace or anywhere else. Put it out of its eleven year misery. Spud (talk) 00:20, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
