Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/20 minutes on the Tube equals one cigarette

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. Whichever way I read this, it's a classic no consensus. People can't deicde on whether to keep it, merge it retaining the text, delete it, or keep a little bit of the text in a merge, or just rewrite it altogether. Then there's the whole thing about the title. Given the lack of an explicit support for any particular merge target, I'm not even going to tag it for that. This particular no consensus is a "do nothing because we haven't agreed on what to do". That means that any editor can make the decision for us, boldly as ever. -Splash talk 00:14, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

20 minutes on the Tube equals one cigarette
Reporting this allegation would not be O.R., but this essay assesses its validity and thus breaks WP:NOR. If we removed the research, I don't think it would be encyclopedic anyway. --Doc (?) 16:09, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Rewrite: &mdash; There's some interesting (and referenced) information here, but the title and text read like a magazine article. In general, the article assumes a point of view and is unencylopedic in style, but it could be fixed. Considerable work has gone into this by it sole anonymous user, whom I suspect might be a newbie who hasn't yet developed an appropriate encylopedic writing style. &mdash; Cory Maylett 17:08, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Merge: &mdash; Look into merging into articles about the Tube (there's a 'Safety, reliability and cost' section on the main London Underground page, for example). It would need severe trimming, though. Lincolnite 18:19, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

rename to something better. The name is awful. It had me thinking along the wrong lines. Roodog2k (talk) 19:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC) Keep; cleanup. Interesting topic that would just congest whatever page is might be merged into. Bunchofgrapes 23:21, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. No it doesn't. 20 minutes on the Tube is nowhere near one cigarette. You need at least 45. Tonywalton | Talk 22:24, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. You have got to be kidding me!  User:Zoe|(talk) 23:52, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Maybe incorporate some into a Pollution on the London Underground article, or a subsection of the London Underground article. Not only is the name rubbish, a lot of it smacks of Original Research. - Hahnchen 02:32, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with the tube article. PRueda29 02:32, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge Piecraft 00:57, 26 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep An informative article. It does appear to be in need of a rewrite, but it is informative. Garfunkel4life 23:21, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
