I have read the books which did nothing to convince me of the authors point of view but that is not the reason for removing the paragraphs  The reason was as stated above that the removed paragraphs violated Wikipedia standards  If you wish to provide a link to the books so that readers can access them that is fine  However it is not fine to have material that is original research nor is it fine to have material that includes ad hominem attacks  This is an encyclopedia that has particular ways of doing things  If you wish to draw attention to Scotts work why not establish your own web pages about it  You could do a Wiki entry about Scott himself but remember that Wiki entries need to be neutral and factual rather than polemical and expressing opinion
