Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/May 9

message: The selected list includes mention of the first publication of the book Dianetics by Hubbard. I am not sure that selected anniversaries is the right place to promote books, especially controversial ones. 79.92.68.17 (talk) 08:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is not to promote the book per se. The point of the selected anniversaries is to list a few events that have some international historical significance or interest, whether these events have been controversial or not. And one could argue that Hubbard and his Dianetics and his Scientology and so forth is one of the most internationally controversial topics to date. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (talk) 17:34, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
