Page creation edit
New page from my sandbox. Please do improve it if you can. There could be a little more personal details from videos, but I'm sticking to credible sources. Notability: several news report and the Behind the Curve doc really establish the important role he plays in the movement. Robincantin (talk) 19:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Notability edit
OK. Let's start a notability discussion. Is the guy who - according to skeptical critics as well as believers - almost single handedly sparked the modern flat Earth movement with his YouTube series (as documented in places such as the Netflix documentary on FE beliefs) not notable?

- I added several credible sources, including some that identify Sargent as a "prominent" or "leading" flat-earther who "launched" the modern movement and is its "main organizer". Added data on the size of his YouTube audience, which was absent from the article when the notability template was added by CommanderWaterford. I believe we're well above the bar now.

This is why flat earth theories exists edit
So that people like Mark can have a wikipedia page and there are Netflix shows and other things about them. It is all about being someone even if they are portrayed as a fool. This whole page should be removed. Darrenaustralia (talk) 22:41, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- I agree. People like this dope and Icke are more dangerous than one might think: stupid beliefs lead to more stupid beliefs. 50.230.251.244 (talk) 12:08, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
