Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Günter Bechly
I was initially a little confused as to why this article had been flagged for deletion, given Bechly's academic standing in Germany and his prominence - or notoriety - as a convert to ID. However, it seems from the above thread that it is exactly Bechly's conversion to ID that might be the issue here, which is unfortunate. One or two users apparently have an axe to grind on that point, with a rather combative tone, and comments like "Bechly's turn to fringe creationist views". This is related to the whole issue of  - a perennial challenge for Wikipedia, given that those with the strongest feelings on either side of a debate tend to invest the most effort in pushing their view. I understand the concerns of these users regarding ID, but deleting a prominent paleontologist's biographical entry isn't an appropriate way to resolve them. Not sure if there's an admin who can have a look and close this thread off? - Sam Tanner. —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by
