Ravi Kant speedy deletion
Hi, I noticed that you placed a speedy deletion tag on this article. Well, Ravi Kant is the Managing director of the biggest automobile company in India, TATA motors. TATA motors recently bought Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford. TATA motors is the company which is producing one of the cheapest (2500 dollars)and fuel efficient car in the world called TATA Nano and Ravi Kant is the Chief behind all these achievements. You think he is not notable? Docku (talk) 21:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I do not think that he meets the notability requirements, I'm pretty conservative that way. Sorry. --Woland (talk) 21:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Two established users dont think that way. One has removed the tag and one more opened the discussion page. Please read the criteria for speedy deletion when choosing an article for speedy deletion. Docku (talk) 21:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, bully for you. I am well aware of the criterion for speedy deletion, thanks.--Woland (talk) 21:52, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Aquatic ape hypothesis
You deleted material that was referenced to a highly respectable source. Furthermore Elaine Morgan has published four books giving similar arguments, and so that there is no doubt that evidence has been advanced in favour of the hypothesis. You may not believe it and there may be many counter-arguments, but the fact that evidence has been given is undeniable. It is an perfectly acceptable function of Wikipedia to list evidence of any hypothesis. By analogy there are other articles that list the arguments in favour of creationism. I would not delete these, even though I believe them to be fallacious. Every hypothesis deserves an airing, why not this one? Until you can provide a satisfactory explanation, I have re-instated the deleted material. 22:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 1 Would you explain how you can have an article on a hypothesis without stating why people have advanced it? Listing the evidence does not imply acceptance of the hypothesis.
 * 2 I have provided a reference that evidence has been proposed. Are you suggesting that the Sir David Attenborough is not a reliable source that evidence has been proposed? Are you suggesting that evidence has not been proposed?
 * 3 If I provide scientific references for every one of the items of evidence that you deleted, will you allow them to remain?
 * I hope your good faith will extend to answering these specific points. JMcC (talk) 13:50, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the patient response. I should have read the Talk Page I suppose. There are a few articles in Wikipedia where you can innocently wander into the middle of a controversy: gun control and intelligent design are examples which I have avoided. Perhaps a label is needed for the unwary. Adding a section on the evidence may take a week or so but I will post something that gives the evidence for the hypothesis and some of the alternative explanations of the same phenomena. 09:04, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
