Should rationalists have their their own article?

Separate from rationalism. Andrew Keenan Richardson (talk!) 19:31, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

THis article is not about rationalism. Slatersteven (talk) 19:41, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There has already been a bold attempt to convert the redirect at Rationalist community into a new article, but standalone topic notability has not been clearly established. WeyerStudentOfAgrippa (talk) 13:57, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is more than enough coverage in reliable sources to support general notability. In addition to the sources cited in Chessrat's reverted article (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rationalist_community&oldid=1279199823), the sources cited in Zizians (almost all of which mention the rationalist community and several of which delve deeply into), and the sources cited in Rationalism#Contemporary rationalism, here are several more (the last two focus on postrationalists, which should probably also be covered as an offshoot in the new article, but also have a lot of coverage of original flavor rationalists)

There is no question of notability in my opinion, and there is clearly some need for the article based on incoming links to the redirect. I would be in favor of resurrecting the previous version and leaving it as future work for someone to incorporate the above sources into the article, Eigenbra (talk) 00:16, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the subject likely meets WP:GNG, and support you restoring the article (for the reason you describe, among others). Suriname0 (talk) 20:54, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Zizians?

I think this article could use a lot of work, but in particular I think that we should bring up the Zizians under "Notable users". I tried to make this change myself, but it was reverted. Should we find additional sources and try to make it a longer section? 35.145.156.193 (talk) 04:53, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Find good sources first for the claim they are notable users. Slatersteven (talk) 12:53, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, your most recent reversion was not the controversial part, just a formatting change (making LessWrong consistently italicized) by the same user that had been caught up with the part that needed citations.

I suppose strictly speaking it was part of a BRD cycle, but I think it’s uncontroversial? I’ll leave it undone for now though to be safe. Gbear605 (talk) 14:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
