Pseudoscience does &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; include most obsolete scientific or medical theories (see {{cl|Obsolete scientific theories}}), nor does it include every idea that currently lacks sufficient scientific evidence (e.g. [[String theory]]).<br /> There is admittedly the [[demarcation problem]], but this category comprises well-known topics that are generally considered pseudoscientific by the scientific community (such as [[astrology]]) and topics that have very few followers and are obviously pseudoscientific (such as the modern belief in a [[Modern flat Earth beliefs|flat Earth]]).&lt;!-- Please see talk page for policy on inclusion criteria --&gt; The [[pejorative]] term itself is contested by various groups for various reasons. Generally speaking, if an article belongs in this category, the article&#039;s lead will contain a well-sourced statement that the subject is considered pseudoscience.
