erroneous

[edit]

why are we calling it erroneous? It's a theory, it should just say it's the idea of jews in the Americas, with BYU academics supproting the theory. This whole article is just debunking a claim, if that's the articals goal we should delete or merge it. LuxembourgLover (talk) 20:56, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We should call it erroneous because it is erroneous and reliable sources describe it as erroneous. Wikipedia articles on theories generally explain whether they are accepted, not accepted, or disputed.
The article’s goal is to describe the long history of the theory. The Mormon view is only a small part of the article. This isn’t an anti-Mormon article. It’s an article about the history of people’s understanding of the origins of Native American people, principally in the 16th and 17th centuries. Bondegezou (talk) 08:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
