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!

Missionality?[edit]

Is this person somehow notable, or is this article yet another piece of social pornography about a some kind of whacky nobody? --2001:14BA:27F7:BB00:745F:58A4:D0D2:4289 (talk) 14:46, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

The article says that she is (or was) the executive director of Canary Party, and maintains a personal blog about autism and "vaccine-choice" activism. Given this, it would appear that she technically falls under point 1 of the mission: "Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement".

Hmm, it seems that the party could be somewhat notable. Maybe $SOMEONE could write an article about it, and then this article could maybe merged to it? --2001:14BA:27F7:BB00:745F:58A4:D0D2:4289 (talk) 15:18, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
I agree. Given that she isn't anymore a member of Canary Party, her relevance is questionable and any arguments that she could have are probably already addressed in other pages, I think a merge is not warranted, instead we should delete this article and write one about the Canary Party instead.

I rescind my previous statement. It appears that Taylor's blog posts were distributed by Age of Autism on Twitter from 2009 to 2020, acting as a sort of news site. This added to her former position as executive director of Canary Party and appearance in relevant anti-vaccine events makes her relevant in my opinion. The problem with this article is that it looks unfinished, so I support either keeping this article and expanding it or merging it in a future Canary Party article.
