'Unproven by the wider scientific community' is not the same thing.
Crackpot theories can, and should, be documented on Wikipedia - as
long as you're reporting in a NPOV way about someone ELSE's crackpot
theory that's documented -- they've written a book, a paper, a
website, whatever. And as long as they have an audience bigger than
just themselves, anyway.
Wikipedia is not the place to post your OWN crackpot theories, odd
philosophy, or whatever.
Basically, an encyclopedia is supposed to be a secondary source.
