Talk:Criticisms of Anti-Scientific Viewpoints

Votes for deletion are being taken

Criticisms of Anti-Scientific Viewpoints was moved from Scientism per the example set in Allopathy that was used to delete [criticisms of modern medicine]. When I developed an article on Allopathy, I wrongly pontificated on what is wrong with conventional medicine. My tirade was correctly moved out of Allopathy into [criticisms of modern medicine].

The identical situation exists here.

The original developers of the Scientism article pontificated on what is wrong with anti-scientific viewpoints. So, following the above correct example, I moved this off-topic text into a separate article where it belongs. Criticisms of Anti-Scientific Viewpoints has been listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion). Please see that page to vote, but please discuss the pros and cons on this talk page.

Criticisms of Anti-Scientific Viewpoints is nothing but a tirade on why some people are imagined to hold anti-scientific viewpoints. Long angry speeches, usually of a censorious or denunciatory nature, that is a diatribe, like this article have no place in an encyclopedia. -- Mr-Natural-Health 14:57, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)

  • Criticisms of Anti-Scientific Viewpoints was moved from Scientism per the example set in Allopathy that was used to delete criticisms of modern medicine. Criticisms of Anti-Scientific Viewpoints is nothing but a tirade on why some people are imagined to hold anti-scientific viewpoints.

    • Keep. The proposer would appear to have redacted opinions with which he does not agree from Scientism into this separate article, and now wants those opinions deleted altogether. Please don't use VfD to censor opinions you don't like. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:15, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
      • Then kindly restructure the text to remove the tirade. [Criticisms of modern medicine] was deleted for the same reason that this article should go. -- Mr-Natural-Health 20:49, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
        • (no vote) This page is for discussing current deletion votes only. Please take disputes about articles to the relevant talk page. Thanks! -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:55, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep for the moment. More antics of a single-issue activist, who seems to be the only editor of this particular page, including creating it and listing it for deletion. Andrewa 09:51, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)
      • Uncertain (change of vote). I still don't like letting this guy delete the page, and just merging and redirecting isn't a deletion and doesn't need VfD. Deleting loses history of course. Andrewa 19:11, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Merge back into Scientism and then delete. Bmills 09:55, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete. Not factual and not encyclopedic. ping 06:38, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete: idiosyncratic. -- 209.158.197.2 16:20, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
      • The above IP is almost certainly Mr-Natural-Health. It belongs to the city of Richmond, where NH lives, and its only contributions have been votes for deletion that just happened to agree with MNH. ---No-One Jones 16:30, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete. Not encyclopedic. R Gunther 16:26, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
      • The above user is clearly a sock puppet. I'm 99 per cent certain uts MrNH trying to avoid his ban. theresa knott 17:20, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Merge back into Scientism and delete. Wile E. Heresiarch 06:41, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)
