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!
Donations so far: $8765.50Goal: $10000

  1. This article seems to be harassment of a private individual. We shouldn't write articles on everyone who has ever said something wrong.—ClickerClock💾 talk.txt 02:05, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
  2. Some dumbass with a blog. Pizza SLICE.gifChef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 23:13, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
  3. A nobody. Christopher (talk) 11:43, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
  4. The entire thing is written by a single editor, everything is sourced to this person as a primary source, there's basically zero notoriety. We abandoned trying to cover every single tiny crank with no major news coverage long ago. Nuke it form orbit. Techpriest (talk) 12:30, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
  5. Only 5 followers on YouTube. Bongolian (talk) 19:44, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
  6. I didn't realize they were this non notable. All for deletion. Gale5050 (talk) 20:52, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
  7. A lonely blog. Not worth covering. Exaskliri (talk) 14:08, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

  • I can't figure out who this person is. Is the person also Christian Chandler,[1] of Kiwi Farms fame who was recently arrested?[2] Bongolian (talk) 04:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
    Christine Chandler and she's against this bullshit. PoorlyDrawnRockford.jpeg Rockford the Roe boop my snoot 04:36, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
    Definitely not. Christopher (talk) 11:43, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
    We don't have an article on CWC and we shouldn't have one. Techpriest (talk) 12:38, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Neutral Changed to delete above - I see a case for both sides, as per the recent spam AFDs of this which resulted mainly in deletion. On the other side, I also don't see why having an extra article is necessary or harmful, and there isn't a good place to merge it into. Gale5050 (talk) 14:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
  • NOTE: This article has received an AfD before but the page naming rules weren't exactly followed. I've now fixed this. For in the future, @ClickerClock please move the old AfD to a different page. Otherwise it interferes with the AfD template on the page in question. Techpriest (talk) 12:35, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
