There are plenty of things that should be removed from some articles
on NPOV grounds but are OK in their own article. One big example is
that of discredited or pseudoscientific theories. Mentioning them in
our major science articles would be undue weight; however, this does
not necessarily mean that they should not be mentioned in Wikipedia at
all, especially if they gained a decent following.
