After reading a couple on this thread, I went to the 'Kennedy assassination theories' article and found that Fred had just AFD it, claiming it was a nest for "vandals and kooks."
Here is my response:
Hardly a good reason to delete a page. Both JFK and his assassination are reasonably encyclopedic topics about one of the more prominent politicians in the last century and how he died. Stemming from that are the various theories about how it came about, and its not original research to point out what the various points of view.
Because the 'official version' does not have very broad support, NPOV requires that the various other theories be explained, albeit in a general and condensed way. Are these theories "conspiratorial" theories? Of course, and this should be explained, albeit in a way which does not rely on a pejorative interpretation of the term "conspiracy."
I do agree however that 'vandals and kooks' would feel more at home on some Wikipedia fork. ;)
