Talk:Reiner Fuellmich

Relevance?
There is no article about Rainer Füllmich in the German Wikipedia, so it is questionable whether he deserves such an article in the English language. In addition to the questionable positions, the conspiracy theories and the denial of scientific facts, there are allegations of fraud, some have already been sentenced. 2003:E8:7F22:4470:ECED:EBFF:68DF:60F4 (talk) 06:11, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Besides, source 5 is WP:RSSELF. It is layouted to appear like a scientific study, but it isn't. The "lead author" is a Dutch-Swiss Creationist connected to de:Studiengemeinschaft Wort und Wissen, and the entire "team" is a hodgepodge antivaccination activist group, the professional credentials of some of them nonwithstanding (compare Stefan Lanka whose doctorate never stood in the way of his pseudoscience).
 * Fuellmich is arguably notable as one of the two most prolific Covid fraudsters in Germany, but since the other (Michael Ballweg) has no article of his own, it is also arguable that the Fuellmich article should also be converted to a redirect. However, in Ballweg's case, the redirect is to the protests of which he was a major organizer (before he took the donations and absconded), while Fuellmich's "Stiftung Corona-Ausschuss" did mainly propaganda work and consequently is not mentioned in the protests article.
 * Solution: add something about the "Stiftung Corona-Ausschuss" fraud to the German Covid protests article (or COVID-19 misinformation), and make the Fuellmich article a redirect there. This would be in line with what we did in the cases of Ballweg and Lanka. Most RS on Fuellmich would be German, but possibly the English Spiegel will come up with something now Fuellmich can be put on trial. 14:53, 17 October 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:4B33:BD80:94DA:531E:6686:74C (talk)
