Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of scientists who disagree with the scientific consensus on global warming
The article is well sourced, per , and clearly passes  and the scientists are notable, each having their own Wikipedia page. I take note of the delete arguments that some of these experts are of scientific disciplines that are on the outskirts or edges of climate science, fine then add sources stating that, per . As per these scientists being a small, even fringe, minority of scientists, they are still a notable prominent fringe minority and the article clearly states, even with a convincing graph, that these scientists are a very small minority. Science progresses with minority opinions criticising majority opinion as it usually helps the majority opinion strengthen and refine their opinion whilst refuting the minority opinion. I can see no benefit in deleting minority opinion, rather as an encyclopedia we should be educating our readers by saying, in an encyclopedic sourced tone, here is the minority opinion and notable people who support it and here is the reason they are wrong, per the majority scientific opinion instead of just delete, delete, delete, suppress, suppress, suppress, hide, hide, hide, pushing editors towards fringe POV poor quality websites instead. From reading the list, as a lay person with limited knowledge of climate science, I come away with the view that these scientists are a very small minority and on available evidence are highly likely to be incorrect in their opinions, but I still believe the list has encyclopedic value. I fear deletion of this article advances the outside opinion that Wikipedia is prone to biased editing and deletion decisions due largely to . Finally, as per the top right of this page, '''there have been 7 previous deletion discussions re. this article''', 4 of which resulted in ‘keep’ and 3 of which resulted in ‘no consensus’. It seems like we are voting again and again until we eventually vote the ‘right way’ and get the delete result. To me there needs to be an overwhelming delete consensus if we are to overrule or set aside 7 previous deletion discussions
