Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quackwatch
I think if this AFD has shown us one thing is that many people feel that the existing article is a lopsided one written more as a promotional piece rather than a neutral article. There is a group of editors hellbent on excluding/removing any and all criticism (of which Quackwatch garners quite a bit). The sort of |article ownership is frowned on here at Wikipedia. Bringing this to light to other Wikipedians certainly was not a waste of time. No one is obligated to comment here, so if you feel it is a waste of your time, then do what you like. I haven't found this process to be disruptive whatsoever, but helpful. I encourage more neutral editors to come to the article and help turn it from a PR piece to an encyclopdic article. Bottomline, Quackwatch is a critical site and thus one can expect it receives a lot of critical backlash. Right now, this side of the Quackwatch story is hardly told. And - for anyone following the current discussion on Talk:Quackwatch - of the remaining two minor pieces of criticism, the "pro-Quackwatch" editors (as Fyslee calls them) are trying to remove even one of those. There is systematic whitewash at play here and again I encourage some article supervision by some more neutral and expert Wikipedians. Thanks. In conclusion, I do think that Quackwatch passes the notability threshold and should be kept as an article; it is just that the current article is far too promotional. The biased POV at play here is exemplified above by Fyslee, where he aligns Quackwatch with "the scientific majority" and thus writes off all of its detractors as minorities which need not be mentioned in the article, but rather swept under the rug with edit warring and ludicrous policy arguments which at the root are tantamount to  at best. I certainly feel that this AfD is over and can be closed expeditiously. I hope what it has shed light on though will stay with us and that we have a better, more complete, article to look forward to in the future
