Amateur X-ray astronomy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nonsense article, possibly with OR. Since there are no amateur X-ray astronomers, this article is pure speculation, with references for padding.

 * Delete appears to be entirely or almost entirely original research. References cited are either about rocketry or satellites and don't mention X-rays, about devices for detecting X-rays and don't mention astronomy or are about X-ray astronomy that isn't being done by amateurs. Much of the text is speculation and suggestions about the sort of things amateur astronomers could do involving X-rays. A Google search for the term produces almost no results that aren't derived from this Wikipedia article. Hut 8.5 20:28, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete; it's not a coherent article on the subject, it's just a bunch of unrelated phrases that are jumbled together. bobrayner (talk) 15:39, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I note that CorenSearchBot tagged this, but more to the point how did this get through new page patrol? Oh, I see, it was autopatrolled. I also see that a G1 speedy was declined, but a PROD might have been better than an AfD. Carcharoth (talk) 03:51, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
