Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nonexistence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by HumbleGod (talk | contribs) at 17:21, 4 July 2006 ([[Nonexistence]]). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

I'm hesitant to nominate a page that has been around for a long time, but despite its age, it doesn't seem to contain much that is obviously useful. There's no citations, and it looks like it's mainly (perhaps totally) OR and speculation. And while I'm not a philosophy major, it doesn't feel particularly deep to me. Your thoughts please.

  • Delete. Article is OR, and its title essentially describes its sources - nonexistent. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 12:43, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect with Existence. There is a fair amount of old philosophy content that dates from the early days of the project; a lot of it isn't all that good, at least by current standards, but remains worth keeping. Not sure we need separate pages for Existence and Nonexistence, though. Smerdis of Tlön 15:45, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to existence and merge what useful/verifiable content there may be. Strange that this is so old but has so few edits or incoming links - I guess that's a hint that it doesn't need to exist. Opabinia regalis 16:43, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete - even a merge and/or redirect seems pretty generous for an article that is almost entirely speculation. The article on existence is well-written and well-cited; if its editors feel this topic deserves mention there, let them write it up from scratch with proper citations.
