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)

- Redirect to Age of the Earth. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 15:04, 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
- We know full well what you want the article to mean, and that's one of the many reasons why its here. Please read the Guide to deletion so you can better understand what's going on here and how you can best be helpful within this process -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 05:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Wikipedia is not a how to guide. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 17:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- 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 per Rickert -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 19:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- And per Bikeable as well -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 05:58, 2 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)
- Redirect per Quarl. Rory096 00:08, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete This looks like an example in an Earth Science textbook. It does nothing to discuss other methods of determining the earth's age. —Brim 05:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
