Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hitchens's razor
Disagree that this is a pure ''repetition'' of Occam's razor. Occam's razor does not, in any way, discuss the "burden of proof" in relation to who is arguing for a claim, that is purely Hitchens' invention, and why this razor is named after him. With a quick google search, I was able to find several other RSes (mostly scholarly) which mention/discuss this concept independent of the references in the article and even largely indpendent of Hitchens himself: https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/what-does-hitchens-razor-means-in-philosophy/article21827514.ece https://citizen.co.za/news/opinion/2444247/hitchenss-razor-and-the-case-of-malema-and-zumas-phantom-claims/ https://newrepublic.com/article/116251/best-arguments-gods-existence-dont-challenge-atheists https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2015-10-04-hitchenss-razor-amateur-sleuths-present-compelling-new-evidence-in-inge-lotz-case/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/bdi.12953 https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-physiol-021115-105238 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc6311890/ https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar//handle/123456789/37523. ''The Hindu'', for example, discusses it in depth and helps establish . All these other uses of it independent of Hitchens as a person demonstrate it has independent notability as a turn-of-phrase and philosophical argument
