Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/How to calculate Earth's Age
Article that attempts to do just what the title indicates. Delete as per Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. --Allen3 talk 14:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

- Delete, as the editor has already tried this with another pet page. See discussion at Talk:Age of the Earth. Vsmith 17:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, calculation was found to be original research, at which point it was forked here. -- Ec5618 17:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Please stop deleting it. If you don't understand what the article means, than talk to me. ati3414

- Delete, I initially drew attention to this calculation on Talk:Age of the Earth. Calculation is original research and a how-to guide.Rickert 18:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect as suggested above. Likely search term. But yes, we're not a How To Guide. SP-KP 18:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

- Delete. A page on historical calculations of the age of the Earth would be useful (and not necessarily a how-to, even if it gave enough info to duplicate the work). This one is problematic because it appears to be a new method, and even worse, it's just wrong, based on a false assumption (equal distribution of isotopes), as pointed out by Rickert on Talk:Age of the Earth. Redirect is unecessary, although might be useful to prevent recreation. bikeable (talk) 20:05, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete (or, failing that, redirect) as above. WP:NOT a how-to guide. Content appears copied from textbook (article's only source) and relies on assumptions not sourced. We understand it, we just don't think it's necessary to WP. Barno 20:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect per above, or at the very least, replace content with "Cut the Earth in half, count the rings..." Karmafist 20:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
