Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Evolution as theory and fact

Evolution as theory and fact

The article violates the principle of no original research. An indication of that is that only two statements are sourced and both of them have at least seven sources. The article is primarily a rant against those who disagree with evolution. Ezra Wax (talk) 02:41, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep as a WP:POINT nomination. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 02:58, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fact is that the article is a rant and is original research. --Ezra Wax (talk) 03:12, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nomination. --Ezra Wax (talk) 03:12, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

you can't vote for your own proposal. your proposal is a vote in itself ChiragPatnaik (talk) 03:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep too many sources is a bad thing? Did you bother to check them out at all? If you had, you'd notice they're extraordinarily and clearly relevant. Can the article be improved? Sure. But Ezra hasn't offered anything to work with, only various rants on the talk page (here on down). — Scientizzle 03:16, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as this is just an essay. Find an appropriate external link and place it at Evolution for this idea. JJL (talk) 03:18, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, factual, reads well, not an essay, nomination is in bad faith. Could be merged with Evolution article if that doesn't make the Evolution article too large. Shot info (talk) 03:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I see no WP:OR problem. There are many high quality references to eminent life scientists and other notable scientific opinions published in reliable sources. The article is clearly using these sources in a manner consistent with the authors' intention. Also, I disagree with JJL's characterization of the article as an essay. This is a notable distinction, particularly in creation-evolution polemic, and as such is clearly deserving of its own article. See, for instance, Casey Luskin's report at the Discovery Institute: part 1, part 2. siℓℓy rabbit (talk) 03:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are enough references and more. Some sections could be cleaned up a bit, But that in itself is no reason to delete. ChiragPatnaik (talk) 03:34, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; well sourced, encyclopedic. I don't see a problem. Aunt Entropy (talk) 03:37, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: the article topic is clearly notable, as evidenced by the citations for its central premise -- and these same sources also provide verification for the body of the article. The accusations of WP:OR are nonspecific and, as such, do not even (as yet) form a basis for altering the article, let alone deleting it wholesale. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk 03:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but Rework As is it should be Delete as it is an essay, but its a sub-article to Evolution and covers important information so deleting it will be bad. The references are fabulous but the text is dense and rambles. MARussellPESE (talk) 03:58, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
