Why?

Why do we have a fiction writer who uses people's interest in conspiracies as a conspiracy theorist?

As far as I know he hasn't made any conspiracy theories or promoted any conspiracy theory, it only uses them to write (apparently with the help of his wife, who does the research work) their books.

ArMaP,
I noticed this article is categorized in category 'conspiracy theorists', which may or may not be correct. However, if Brown is related to the area of conspiracy theory in any way, my personal view is that it's right to have some article about him in tinWiki; that's not to say the article shouldn't be written from the strict point of view that tinWiki takes, however.
If the article talks too generally, so to say, and just looks like some very plain biography like one might expect to see on Brown's personal homepage or website, then it's my view that the article probably needs some rewriting. If the article is too long or content rich for what the topic really deserves in light of how much it matters to what tinWiki as an encyclopedia is concerned with, then the article should, as I see it, be compacted somewhat. I'm however saying these things without actually having read the article... Would you be alright with the article if it were angled differently than what it is right now?
