Inclusion criteria is inappropriate Im writing this as an outsider thats worked on many problematic lists  Ive not gone through the talk page archives and only skimmed this page and the AfDs  In the BLPN request I wrote Im not seeing a clear BLP violation so keeping my comments short There are certainly SYN and NPOV problems Basically the article is another demonstration how the poor inclusion criteria of a list can be used intentionally or not to Wikilawyer around most or all of Wikipedias contentrelated policies Epic fail  I was asked to explain further so Im doing so here  Briefly I think the topic itself and the inclusion criteria fail WPNOT WPNPOV and WPSYN  This is because editors can use lists intentionally or not to work around basic notability criteria of which there are none that clearly apply to lists  While this is a list of people the additional guidance helps very little  My philosophy on lists is that they should be of notable topics only meaning that the article List of X should only exist if X qualifies as a notable topic and that such lists should have unambiguous inclusion criteria that requires no original research  In the case of this article editors are having trouble agreeing upon multiple aspects of the inclusion criteria  on who qualifies as a scientist worth mentioning and what it means to oppose the mainstream scientific assessment of global warning  both of which are SYN and NPOV problems  As for notability there is no clear notable topic upon which this list is based The related topics are Scientific opinion on climate change  Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Global warming controversy  Because these are not closely related this suggests again that this article is a povfork  A couple of WPSNOW issues as well Because of the thought of a opposing article such as List of scientists supporting the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming is absurd I think this is clearly a povfork  Given how little mention there is in Global warming controversy of the various opponents lists used for creating this article this is an inappropriate povfork
