::Possibly, this is a bit vague so I'll give a concrete example of both. Would [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal%20Raymond%20Rife Royal Raymond Rife] do for Ikwipedia? The Rife device is a lot less off-the-wall than the things that are currently listed under [[Exotic technology]] since its design is mostly known (though there's argument about the details) and doesn't defy any known laws of physics and it's just whether it's effective at destroying germs that's disputed, but it is very unsuited to Wikipedia because mainstream sources tend not to discuss it except to say that there's no formal evidence that it works, and it's in the ridiculous position of having to rely largely on 1930s newspaper articles even though the inadmissible sources (websites with photos of Rife's letters and lab notes and so on) often demonstrate that the newspaper articles are wrong.
