If it's intended to be a non-technical version of evolution, then it is obsolete to Simple Wikipedia. Should not have two versions of the same article, the other being evolution. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 06:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Simple Wikipedia has articles in Basic English. Arguably that makes them jargon-free, but does not necessarily mean they are non-technical. Gabbe (talk) 08:48, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How does that explain the problem with us having two pages on the same thing? \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 09:43, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm.... They're on two different Wikipedias? Gabbe (talk) 10:08, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. An introduction to a topic is not the same as an article in simple English. Wev have quite a number of "introduction to" articles. No policy-based reasons are given for deletion. --Bduke (Discussion) 10:21, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – oppose deletion – this article and the simple English one do different things, and this introductory article is a useful part of the series in Category:Introductions. . . dave souza, talk 10:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC) See also MOS guideline Wikipedia:Make technical articles accessible: "Depending on the topic and the amount of interest in it, it may be appropriate to write a separate "Introduction to..." article." . . dave souza, talk 10:32, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose deletion - as above posters, intro and simple are not the same thing. - IanCheesman (talk) 11:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep per the standard set by Introduction to general relativity, a featured article. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 15:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
