Although Wikipedia doesn't have one, a separate page for "[[Conspiracy theorist]]" might be worthwhile, since there are likely to be a lot of SMWDocs, and it would be tidy to have them separately displayed.  [[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 05:06, 1 May 2014 (IST)

: I have an issue with the legitimacy of the term. For example I would personally object to being labelled as such. However I accept that it is used extensively in the {{ccm}} - but only as a pejorative since it has near-zero intrinsic meaning beyond demonisation and ridicule. I therefore feel that it would not be legitimate for ANYONE to be categorised as such '''BY''' Wikispooks. With all that as a caveat - maybe included as the lede, I accept that it may be useful to have such a page for the reasons you state. --[[User:Peter|Peter P]] ([[User talk:Peter|talk]]) 07:28, 1 May 2014 (IST)

I have an issue with the legitimacy of the term. For example I would personally object to being labelled as such. However I accept that it is used extensively in the commercially-controlled media - but only as a pejorative since it has near-zero intrinsic meaning beyond demonisation and ridicule. I therefore feel that it would not be legitimate for ANYONE to be categorised as such BY Wikispooks. With all that as a caveat - maybe included as the lede, I accept that it may be useful to have such a page for the reasons you state. --Peter P (talk) 07:28, 1 May 2014 (IST)
