Darwinian Theory and Ethical Problems
Please stop. If you continue to create inappropriate pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Merope 09:31, 10 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I deleted it because I thought it was pure vandalism. However, even if you were being serious (minus the puppy part, I suppose), the article violates our policies on maintaining a neutral point of view and no original research.  Please review the policies before contributing any future articles.  -- Merope 09:43, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a place to post philosophical essays; it is an encyclopedia. However, since the article was not vandalism, it does not qualify for speedy deletion.  I will restore it--however, I will nominate it for deletion.  You are free to edit the article in the interim (deletion discussions typically last five days), but unless it conforms with Wikipedia's policies (and its very subject matter indicates it cannot), it will be deleted.  -- Merope 09:56, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * And the article has been restored; the deletion discussion is at Articles for deletion/Darwinian Theory and Ethical Problems. I hope you will find other ways to contribute to our project; many of our philosophy articles could use attention.  Cheers.  -- Merope 10:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Here are my observations about the article. First, it is very poorly written (which is not a reason to delete), which means it's hard to see if it has future merit. Second, it's filled with POV rantings. An article such as this one may have a place in the world of Creation/Evolution categories, but it needs to be balanced, and then on to some sourcing of the OR. The biggest point is that a quick look at your contributions seem to indicate you do this frequently, such as what happened with your slight variation of Evolution. It's hard to give what you write or don't write any credibility. If you want to write an article like this one, you should do it in a sandbox, ask a few other editors to help out (and if you want it to pass NPOV, you need editors from all walks of life). Finally, the abortion commentary is best left elsewhere. There is no logical tie between evolution and abortion. Orangemarlin 20:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
