[WikiEN-l] Anti-intellectualism

[Matthew Brown]

It feels to me that the arguments being made by those opposed to this
content is that it's "out of scope for the article", and that putting
this information in somehow violates our guidelines about undue
weight, since nobody but a couple of academics cares about it and it's
irrelevant.

I find both quite troubling.  "Undue weight" doesn't mean "Remove all
academics from popular culture articles because fans don't care, and
fans outnumber academics 10,000:1".

Attempts to define an article's scope as excluding academic content
are also problematic.
