 ==Proposed split== 
 This article is 140 kb and has 236 references.   It's a monster to load even with a relatively fast connection, and it's too cumbersome to read like an encyclopedia article.   This article still seems to be the catch-all for  sceptic-type topics that are nommed for deletion.  The natural split as the article is currently laid out would be to split into political controversies and scientific controversies and link both articles to a disambiguation page.   Thoughts?   "
