Talk:Modern frauds in science
I'm suggesting a delete - I'm not sure this guy is that well known, but i'm not a science person, so maybe he really needs a full article.GodotGrow a vagina 19:00, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- But deleting stuff is bad, remember? The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 19:01, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

- What you need to understand HK is that you can't just walk in and delete stuff that has been around here for a while; it may not be very good but people may have affection for it and require some sort of consensus to delete. Even if you get a majority of four or five in a short time you need to wait for others to make their views known, especially as we are a 24-hour wiki with editors from around the world. New stuff which is obscure, not on mission or poorly written does not need the same criteria for deletion.

Frauds and hoaxes[edit]
I think we might consider a single article on frauds and hoaxes, and have redirects from these guy's names. When I googled Viktor, I got redirects to Schon Incident, and several other scandals. I knwo there's the UK scandal about vaccination (not sure which)... all of these might be one good article. They are right now, bad stubs.GodotGrow a vagina 19:04, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- You would be thinking of Andrew Wakefield.

This article is a bit of a duplicate[edit]

- Want that we should make this a sub section of the other? Or even just delete it all together?

Edit[edit]
It is not pseudoscience, HK, it is bad science - there is a difference. Additionally, your heading style looks terrible when there aren't half a dozen things in each year. Better would be "Andrew Wakefield (1998)" and leaving it at that. Peter Monomorium antarcticum 23:37, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
