Hmm. I'm not sure about this one. I think that Guy's addition is similar to the allowed example from WP:SELF - "the name of the alleged victim is not being included in this article or at this time." It said, "The purpose of the list is to help readers who wish to...". I think in whatever reproduction, in whatever medium, it is still going to be identified as a 'list', and it will still have 'readers' (although that may be doubtful in an audio format). I think the doubt comes over the next part of the sentence, "...to know more about these scientists' views...". I agree with that, but we have an RFC going on above partly to determine exactly what is the purpose of this list. In short, I think that the use of Wikipedia's voice to state the purpose of the list is legitimate under WP:SELF (and may be required under WP:STAND), but that the actual purpose of the list is what needs discussion and agreement before we can state it definitively.
