What the evidence says 01 / RECORD

False. Rogan says Wikipedia deleted all of Andrew Huberman's peer-reviewed papers. The live English Wikipedia article on Huberman still carries a 'Selected publications' section listing peer-reviewed papers with PMIDs (for example a 2016 Nature Neuroscience paper and a 2023 Cell Reports Medicine paper), so his publications were not wholesale removed. Wikipedia biographies routinely trim bibliography sections over time, which is distinct from a targeted deletion, and nothing supports a coordinated purge tied to any RFK Jr. remark.
