Removing the part about Curtis Yarvin

It looks like someone archives the previous discussion on neoreaction, making the cross-discussion hard to follow, but I want to continue the previous discussion where I was saying that there's no reason to mention Curvis here (it seems he posted a total of one (1) comment in 2007 on Overcoming Bias even before it was LessWgong, and even that comment didn't generate much discussion. @Getnormality seemed to agree (no-one objected), so I'll go ahead and edit.

Hmm, there was also mention of Hanson's debate with Moldbug, but that happened in May 2009, so after LessWrong was split from Overcoming Bias (February 2009), so, doesn't really seem relevant either? I removed it as well.
There are probably other ways to reformulate the intro to that section, I considered leaving " The comment section of Overcoming Bias attracted prominent neoreactionaries" (but without the example of Moldbug), but that seems both a) unsourced (the source only mentioned moldbug, whose contribution hardly seems notable) and b) not really important or relevant, even if it was sourced, but if someone can find a better way to reformulate that, go ahead.

Should rationalists have their their own article?

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]

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]
