I'd point out that this article isn't about alternative theories, it about the actual events. Theories about why/how are covered by the 9/11 commission and other articles. There is no alternative to 4 planes were hijacked and 2 crashed into WTC, one crashed into the pentagon and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. Alternatives ti that are not a part of the actual events. They should be covered in the articles about the investigation. All the main aspects are covered in the historical record, not make-believe. To conclude it's a main aspect of the topic is similar to including the flat earthers in a discussion of the physics of relativity. While flat earthers are relevant in some articles and they deny theory of relativity and Keplers laws, they are not a main aspect of relativity or Kepler's law. They are fringe. It would not require a "flat earth" mention in those article because everyone knows that if it's "nonsensical and lunatic" it is by definition not a significant viewpoint in articles that reflect the actual historical record and physics. The number of non-sensical lunatics is not the criteria by which "main aspect" is measured. Every other point you make dissembles after that. Conspiracy theories disparage the findings of political and scientific bodies. They perhaps deserve mention there but not int the actual article that is the real historical record. --DHeyward (talk) 23:57, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with DHeyward, CTs are not notable in relation to the attacks, they are only even mentionable in relation to the aftermath and reactions. Just as flat-earth 'theories' have no notability in relation to relativity physics, CTs have no notability in relation to the attacks. I disagree with this ruling and find is faulty and inaccurate.
Further, the use of the term 'alternative theory' is misleading and is a weasel term. They are not 'alternative' theories (for that would imply they have some standing), they are unfounded, illogical, absurd, ridiculous conspiracy theories. The idea that a missile hit the Pentagon or that someone could smuggle massive and powerful explosives into not one, but TWO 110-story office buildings as well as WTC7 is not 'alternative', it is insane.
