If you read beyond the leading paragraph you will see Sarfatti is widely known beyond usenet appearing in Star Trek Paramount, on Learning Channel, written about in many books, newspapers and magazines. Also the ideas in physics per-se are not "iconoclastic" at all. For example, Sarfatti is a staunch defender of orthodox Einstein relativity against all sorts of crackpots. So indeed let's be more accurate. Furthermore Waldyr Rodrigues is well known as a bit of a crank himself and has made similar charges of "mathematical nonsense" to about "twenty" other physicists with papers published on the Cornell archive.

Looks like this controversy has settled, so I archived the lot. Cheers ---CH 03:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Let's be more accurate...

The leading paragraph states: "He is known for his iconoclastic ideas, and ..." Well... He is known.. to who? In the U.S.? We cannot simply say "He is known", or even nothing at all (since the intent of the phrase is probably not asserting his notability to humanity, but to introduce his ideas). --euyyn 02:56, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I read in the deletion discussion that he's known in some usenet groups. Any other notability, or I just include it? --euyyn 03:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
