Yes. Just to state : RK wanted to unite all articles
at first. Now, he is putting them into pieces.
I disagree with moving all the content of political
issues in the gaian article. Not everyone recognising
himself as a gaian agrees with what is said in
political stuff. And some not recognising them with
gaian agree. This is far too reductive to put
everything under the gaian article
Second, did you really read the content of what RK is
proposing in the predecessors article ? The beginning
is indeed about predecessors. The second part is
totally current. Not ancien story. What would you
define as predecessors ? In any case, predecessors
have their part in the gaia theory as it is now. They
inspired Lovelock theory. Why should they be put
elsewhere ? It is not exactly as if all theories were
divided in two, with the old version and the new
version. Check Evolution. Is there a second article
mentionning everything that is older than 50 years ?
I would agree with gaia (goddess), with the set up of
[[Gaia]] as a purely disambiguating page. Listing all
the related articles
I disagree with letting RK definition at the top of
his version Gaia article. This is not a proper
definition. It is a scientific definition, and as such
s pov
I would be more than happy to keep the Gaia Hypothesis
I currently object that the Gaia Theory to be turned
to a purely scientific article. The Theory is not only
scientific. I also fear that if we do so, soon any
view non admitted by scientific academics will be put
aside in yet another little article, as non relevant.
Again, it is not as if non proven theories had to be
cut from proven theories.
I hope I am not supposed to agree with everything just
because you said it was reasonable.

For some reason my fellow Wikipedias keep missing
the main

disambiguation. In
the past, this has prevented flame wars. Why is

being allowed here? Let's change the [[Gaia]]
article to a
disambiguation page (proposal follows)
-----
'''Gaia''': This is a [[disambiguation]] page. The
term
'''Gaia''' may refer to
[[Gaia (goddess]] - A Greek and Roman goddeess.
[[Gaia theory]] - A group of scientific theories
about how
life on Earth may regulate the planet's
biosphere
to make
it more hospitable to life. This discusses
scientific views
on the subject in general, including the views of
Drs.
James Lovelock, Lynn Margulis, Richard Dawkins,
Carl Sagan,
etc.
[[Gaia hypothesis]] - An article devoted to solely
to Dr.
James Lovelock's ideas on Gaia theory.
[[Gaia theory predecessors]] - A discussion of
proto-scientific, mystical and religious views
about life
on Earth that bear similarity to Gaia theory.
[[Gaians]] - A radical political and
environmentalist
group.
(and other related topics can be added as well.
Perhaps
Gaia theory in religion, Gaia theory in art,
etc.)

Will this work?
