[edit] Introduction, purpose and inclusion criteria

This page is a noticeboard for editors interested in conspiracy-related AfDs. It began life as a tool to help users easily track the flood of 9/11 conspiracy theory AfDs that started around the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. These AfDs primarily targetted articles on subjects with little or no notability, which violated WP:NPOV, WP:OR and WP:V and which were created (in my opinion) for the purpose of promoting people, ideas, and books rather than for furthering wikipedia's mission. A great many wikipedians agreed with this assessment and as a result approx. 44 articles were deleted and approx. 8 AfDs did not reach a consensus. Because there is significant interest in tracking AfDs related to other conspiracy theories, I have broadened the page and renamed it GabrielF/ConspiracyNoticeboard. Below I am formally defining the scope of the page based on its past usage and discussion at talk.

I've decided to take more control over this page. From now on, I'm going to restrict adding new entries to this page to myself. If you want an AfD to be listed here, drop a note on my talk page. I will only list articles and other pages that are (a) related to conspiracy theories (as defined by the first paragraph of Conspiracy theory and conspiracy theorists and (b) nominated on a policy basis (e.g. notability, original research, etc.). I will list these AfDs without comment. I, and only I, will post links to discussions that are relevant to users interested in AfDs and conspiracy theory articles. I intend to use this section to raise awareness of relevant policy discussions, not to influence policy or article content.

Finally, just because an AfD is listed here doesn't mean that I support it. Do not interpret an AfDs listing here as a sign that I endorse it.
