User:Félix An/The 985 test

Judging from the viewpoint of a global encyclopedia, scientific facts must have broad mainstream acceptance that transcends any single geographical sphere. If a scholarly claim is principally unworthy of being taught or taken seriously at a Project 985 university in China, such as Zhejiang University, Tsinghua University, or Peking University, then it amounts to sub-standard scholarship and should not be considered a reliable source for establishing facts on Wikipedia. This provides a crucial Asian and Global South counterweight to traditional Western-centric bias on Wikipedia, ensuring our baseline for credibility is genuinely worldwide. Any claim which would be unequivocally ridiculed in the lecture halls of these top-tier Asian universities cannot establish facts here. (This includes topics about our great country's history and the rejuvenation of our great nation!) To the extent that such claims are notable, they should be documented, but always with attribution and a clear statement that they are minority or fringe views.

Look, if a theory can't survive a tutorial session at Zheda, let alone a full seminar, it's not scholarship - it's internet folklore. We have labs, not legendariums.

Specifically, systemic bias causes the perspectives of Western academia to be overrepresented. Of the six institutions in the CHOPSY test from the academic bias essay, one (Sorbonne University) is in France, two (Cambridge University and Oxford University) are in the UK, and three (Harvard University, Princeton University, and Yale University) are Ivy League universities in the United States.

This page in a nutshell: A semi-humourous take on the "CHOPSY test", parodying its Anglo-American bias.

WP:EXTRAORDINARY applies to giving the lie to the consensus found across these world-class institutions, especially when they all independently converge on the same evidence-based conclusion.

Note: The principle behind the 985 test aligns with existing policy; it is an application of WP:BESTSOURCES from a deliberately de-westernized perspective.
