Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Evolution poll

Evolution poll

Article has escaped under the radar screen. It is basically a creationist POV-pushing endeavor. Any worthwhile content can be merged to the creationism article or the creation-evolution controversy article. This article, however, is misleadingly named (it is not a poll on evolution but rather a poll about the creation-evolution controversy) and the article has very little worth salvaging in terms of content since this basically is original research or, where it isn't, can be appropriately addressed on other pages.

This doesn't push a POV but is an essay advising caution with opinion polls. Sources are missing, and the title is awkward. The content could go into creation-evolution controversy. Pilatus 01:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No sources make this an easy delete vote. I agree with the nominator, there's nothing in the article worth salvaging. Quale 01:57, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
AHhhhhhhhhhhh! - I know my vote won't count and all, but seriously, my biochem text book is spinning in its grave, or at least it will be once they finally bring back the book burnings — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.188.117.70 (talk • contribs) 02:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per 205.188.117.70. If not, then redirect to creation-evolution controversy. --Apyule 02:41, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, there's nothing in this essay that Wikipedia is better for having. Also, polls are evil. Lord Bob 03:26, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. What is the point of this? If it's about the statisical problems of polls, then it should be at Poll or whatever. If it's simply to show the percentages of people who ascribe to either creationism or evolution, then it should ne incorporated into creation-evolution controversy. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 03:46, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Cleanup. This article purports to be about ... what? Some particular opinion polls? The general idea of polling the public about evolution? There doesn't actually seem to be a topic here. Opinion polls are not how science is conducted; they might be useful as an indicator of the penetration of scientific ideas in the populace, but that would seem to need support from ... somewhere? There's an idea here, but it's so muddled that I'm having real difficulty disagreeing with the consensus to delete .... --FOo 04:43, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to call it a Delete but the title would make a good redirect to one of the other better pre-existing articles. DreamGuy 06:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. What is this supposed to be? Some sort of scientific FUD? --Calton | Talk 07:29, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
