Blatant academic spam, mostly sourced to press releases and other SPS, created by aWP:SPA editor who has done nothing but dump garbage like this into our beautiful project. There could perhaps be an article on this, but this is industrial waste. Jytdog (talk) 02:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It may be notable but it would have to be completely rewritten to not be an advertisement. Your removal of the speedy tag, cursory editing, and !vote here leave pollution in Wikipedia. Does "inclusionism" really mean including garbage? Does your vision of a national park include oozing barrels of industrial waste?
This is pure, disgusting hard selling by people promoting the "so-called "movement" -- "The movement has received coverage by major media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post and NPR[8][9][10] and has inspired changes at local, corporate and legislative levels."
The civil rights movement was a movement. The title, that sentence, and most of the rest, is putrid marketing dumped into Wikipedia. Disgusting. Jytdog (talk) 05:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About the "see below" - the research hyped in the NPR and WSJ refs is from a lab that had six papers retracted and 13 or 14 corrections issued after the lab was found to be p hacking and otherwise skewing their data to generate papers, that they then excelled in hyping. See retraction watch here and this buzzfeed story.
So what are the putative great refs here to even try to build an article with, if somebody felt like carting out the industrial waste and trying to make an actual WP article here? Jytdog (talk) 05:54, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
