Critics vs Supporters

In a review of the article Alan Gishlick, Nick Matzke, and Wesley R. Elsberry claimed it contained poor scholarship, that it failed to cite and specifically rebut the actual data supporting evolution, and "constructed a rhetorical edifice out of omission of relevant facts, selective quoting, bad analogies, knocking down straw men, and tendentious interpretations." [1] Further examination of the article revealed that it was substantially similar to previously published articles. [2] Supporters counter the arguments, claiming ad hominem attacks.

Propose grouping material in the following section, including Sternberg's statement on his own position.

The result was merge here. -- Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 04:42, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am proposing that Richard Sternberg be merged here (as discussed in the recent AfD on that article), per WP:MERGE rationale 'overlap' (more than half of that article is on this controversy) and WP:BLP1E. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 07:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support - as I stated in that AFD, these articles have substantially the same content and I don't think we need to keep them both. Robofish (talk) 21:36, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support merging the BLP into this article. Cla68 (talk) 22:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
