steven l. rubenstein was annoyed to be reminded that he had stated for the record:
NPOV does not require that our article on the moon state, "According to some, the moon is made of green cheese, although virtually all astronomers disagree." Don't laugh -- silly statements like this are easy to spot when we are talking about physical phenomena. But they are much harder to spot when talking about historical and cultural phenomena, which is one reason why some content disputes are protracted and cannot be resolved by mediation alone.
Silly statements that are so very hard to spot that they cannot be rebutted and can only be corrected by rendering them unexpressible are not silly. They may be wrong, but they are not speedy-obliteration candidates.
I am very worried that we are seriously discussing the formation of a committee empowered to prohibit unpopular content from Wikipedia and to ban those that feel that it is important to record it.
