RationalWiki:Articles for demotion

There are 2 pages marked for demotion: Mormonism Nick Fuentes

Some articles here are good. Like, really good. So good, you want others to know how good they are. Others were once really good, and now... not so much. If you believe an article is worthy or no longer worthy of a Silver or perhaps even Gold brainstar, you can place it on this page, where it will be promptly ignored carefully considered by the Mob.

The only rule we seem to agree upon is "Thou Shalt Use Common Sense", but in general...

1. Add the {{Article for demotion}} (or just {{afdem}}) template to the top of the article you wish to demote
2. Click on the relevant redlink at the top of the article's page, add {{subst:Template:Article for demotion discussion starter}} at top.
3. Add {{RationalWiki:Articles for demotion/"ArticleName"}} to the top of this page
4. Give the cabal (there isn’t one) enough time to recover from our hangovers come to a consensus.
5. After the voting is more or less settled, move {{RationalWiki:Articles for demotion/"ArticleName"}} to a proper place in the vault, and add the result to the title.
6. Remove the template from the article itself. If the article has been approved for demotions, you may have the dishonors.

In addition, keep in mind that for a Gold Brainstar, you will need to have a Cover Story page prepared. This is because pages with a Gold Brainstar are added to the featured article selection on the Main Page. Meanwhile, adding or removing a bronze brainstar can be done unilaterally and you don't need to nominate an article to do so.

And don't forget to subscribe. This will allow you to see when a new article for demotion is added.

To judge whether an article is suitable for demotion, see: Article rating.

Promote to silver

1. I have read and edited the whole page. It is detailed with complete references, so I think it is ready for silver. Bongolian (talk) 07:29, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Promote to bronze or no star

1. As it stands, this article contains too many unsourced statements, and some grammatical errors that, in my opinion, disqualify it for its current status. Carthage (talk) 17:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
2. Despite someone going through the article and inserting way too many "citation needed" templates (holy crap, look at the missionary section), it's a no-brainer to promote this one back to bronze. It needs some work. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 18:00, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
3. References need cleanup: too many Wikipedia references and too many bare links. Bongolian (talk) 06:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
4. I don't even think we need a vote for this. GeeJayK^{Where all evil dwells} _{Where every lie is true} 14:58, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
