Linguists would disagree.

Incorrect. No dialect "deviates" from a "standard" form of that language. 
Everyone speaks a dialect. The privilege given to any particular dialect has 
nothing to do with the form of the dialect itself and everything to do with the 
sociopolitical history of its speakers. None of that is relevant to speaking 
comprehensibly in an international environment.

Linguists disagree a lot amongst themselves:

Early 20th century there was Fowler and his followers -- unabashedly
laying down the law on what is right and not.  Then there were his
opponents (French school I think, not sure what they were called --
poststructuralists maybe??) who said language was defined by usage and
not the other way.  Until someone (Fowlerite?) pointed out that those
anti-Fowlerites seemingly objectively described all the dialects but
they themselves stuck to pristine Queen's English.

So like in society, all dialects are equal and some are more equal!

Henry Fowler? To my knowledge, he was a dictionary-maker, not a linguist. To be 
fair, back then, the field of linguistics was not terribly well established, so 
he might have qualified for the title at the time. However, linguistics has 
learned a lot and moved on since then. You would be seriously hard-pressed to 
find a prescriptivist linguist these days.
