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. Orphan page of dead site with no archive.– Fuzzy "Cat" Potato, Jr. (talk/stalk) 12:33, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
  2. A skepticism-navelgazing stub. Exterminate with extreme prejudice!!1! 141.134.75.236 (talk) 13:09, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
  3. Quick glance at the google group that inherited the name shows a wasteland of spam and inane comment chains. Low signal/noise ratio, in usenet terms. Not a site RW needs to link. CamelCasePragmatist (talk) 15:31, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Keep[edit]

  • Stubby article, but of historical importance - David Gerard (talk) 13:55, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Merge/redirect[edit]

  1. It still seems alive (I added a link to the archives)? Not sure if a separate page is warranted, but some mention somewhere might be good (not sure where though) Carpetsmoker (talk) 12:45, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

    Not a website, but yeah, a brief mention there might be okay. Carpetsmoker (talk) 13:15, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
    Or indeed seed that usenet article that 35 people think is a good idea (though none of them have started it) - David Gerard (talk) 13:55, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
    Up to 5 minutes ago I thought Usenet and newsgroups were two different things. >_< Carpetsmoker (talk) 18:14, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
  2. Merge to the now-extant Usenet article - David Gerard (talk) 19:55, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
