Difficult, Seems bogus, but as I am ignorant in the area there is always a nagging doubt that maybe he's on to something. But on to something, however well-founded and creative, is not fulfilling our encyclopedic mission which is to render established knowledge in an authoritative, but condensed package. So the onus is on him to back up whatever he puts forth with cited authority.
I would suggest you request mediation of him and the mediation committee.

The clarifications on this list of 'WP norms' and 'WP due process' are very welcome.
There is an ongoing problem, as far as I'm concerned, with [[User:Kevin baas]]. As anyone who reads his home page can see, he has a certain research program in mind. As far as I can see, it has no merit; but that's not really the point. Comments such as his (on [[Talk:Real computation]]) "don't you guys have a sense of shame?" cause a deterioration of the atrmosphere. The current [[Real computation]] page seems to me eminently sensible. I don't think this kind of bullying comment should be applied, just because the page content casts doubt on Kevin's research 'proposal'.
