Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Solar system basic

Solar system basic

The article is a fork of Solar System, using the content from that article to create a Simple Wikipedia-style article. This will in all likelihood lead to serious complications in maintaining both articles in parallel. In addition, it needlessly duplicates what is already available on Simple; certain sections (such as "Dwarf planets") appear to have been copied from Simple based on similar formatting and text. (For reference, there were lengthy discussions last year at Talk:Solar System regarding the merits of simplifying the article in this way.) Ckatz^chat_spy 08:22, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is a simple wikipedia article, which should be on, simple wikipedia, not here. If the name made any sense it'd be a redirect, but it doesn't, so a delete makes perfect sense. Shadowjams (talk) 08:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Some topics do have a legitimate need for a 'simple' version, like General relativity and Introduction to general relativity. I don't see that Solar System is esoteric or complicated enough to be one. Since the disadvantages are obvious (the complications mentioned by Ckatz) and the name makes no sense as a redirect my vote is delete, unless HarryAlffa (who created the page) or someone else wants to explain exactly why they think this article needs two versions.

Delete. I concur with the above comments, the article seems to be a needless repetition. HJ Mitchell (talk) 09:38, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The simple Wikipedia already has an article for the Solar System and like everyone else, I don't think this is complicated enough to warrant an introduction article. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete And I'd add that this article isn't simple enough to tell someone about the basics. Besides, do we really need a Cliff Notes version of every large article? Mandsford (talk) 19:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
