What's troubling me now is that what you say seems
to me
likecontradicting the following pieces in the WP:OR:
* The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.
In what way is this contradictory? It is only contradictory if you
take this to mean "anything that is verifiable should be in Wikipedia"
- and even then it still does not say what article it should be in.
* In many cases, there are multiple established views
of any given
topic. In such cases, no single position, no matter how well
researched, is authoritative. It is not the responsibility of any one
editor to research all points of view. But when incorporating research
into an article, it is important that editors provide context for this
point of view, by indicating how prevalent the position is, and
whether it is held by a majority or minority.
A bit further down, it says:
If your viewpoint is held by an extremely small minority, then —
whether it's true or not, whether you can prove it or not — it doesn't
belong in Wikipedia, except perhaps in some ancillary article.
