Fringe theories/Noticeboard
This Noticeboard is Oxymoronic with a "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit". 3 reasons:

1: Arrogant for exclusive group of Editors (Admins) to decide an article is "fringe" and throw it away. 2: How many "fringe" theories become history or science over time, "world is round" is one example. 3: Oversteps the limts of auhority Admins. are given here.

 * Keep. Anyone can post to FTN and quite a lot of people do. Itsmejudith (talk) 21:21, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm very distrustful of administrators and the power imbalances here in Wikipedia but I don't see that this noticeboard has a significant relation to those concerns.  --ElKevbo (talk) 21:36, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Don't see that the reasons given have anything to do either with writing this site or for that matter with external reality. Mangoe (talk) 22:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I was attracted here by this proposal having no header or link to the page that is proposed. I have fixed that. I do not see that this page has anything specifically to do with admins. It is a perfectly proper notice board for editors to get together to discuss undue weight, and so on, being given to fringe theories. The reasons for deletion are so inappropriate that I suggest a 'speedy keep" closure. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  02:25, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Itsmejudith. Outback the koala (talk) 03:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:5P we are not here for articles that promote any nonsense, so the noticeboard is an important part of keeping this an encyclopedia. Johnuniq (talk) 05:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even if a mistake, we don't delete these things.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:41, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
