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!

Delete[edit]

  1. Another Encyclopaedia Dramatica-style article Oliver Smith wrote on someone he was in a feud with. Welton created an article attacking Smith on VDARE (copied to The Unz Review) calling him an Antifa/SJW with slurs of mental illness and so Smith responded by creating Welton's article here. "Lance Welton" is a pseudonym and his real identity is unknown. There are no sources on Welton aside from VDARE/Unz. In other words, he's another nobody. Oenophyta (talk) 18:44, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

  6. Pseudononymous jackoff who seems to be an utter nobody. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 23:23, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Keep[edit]

Merge/redirect[edit]

  1. See Goatnote for idea on keeping something. Not worth a whole article. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 20:06, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
  2. Agreeing with Apooft to add a subsection under E.K. if this is worth keeping at all. Otherwise, I'm not sure why we have a page on this guy.ℕoir LeSable (talk) 20:07, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
    There are several more inappropriate articles by Smith needing deletion. I will be creating more deletion requests over the next few days.Oenophyta (talk) 20:14, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
    If it's important enough to keep under Kirkegaard, then add it to Kirkegaard. Full blown merger will probably be too much. Techpriest (I am Alpharius! / Pencil.png / Tux icon.png / Shield.png) 00:13, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Goat[edit]

  1. Maybe the connections to the person with an article worth keeping is worth a short mention in that other article. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 20:04, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
