As far as I know the subject of the article no longer exists. In my opinion it is not a notable part of history. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:43, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - notability is not temporary. The article is more than sufficiently cited to prove the topic notable. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:19, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Same as Chiswick Chap, notability isn't temporary. See WP:NOTTEMPORARY. -- Toughpigs (talk) 16:25, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Appears to have been notable for some time in the past, judging off of the citations in the article. Notability is not temporary. Hog Farm (talk) 18:35, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * delete - has notability issues. Because some of the allegations are not well sourced the article comes across as a highly controversial opinion piece. Grmike (talk) 22:25, 19 April 2020 (UTC)grmike
 * Grmike, can you give us a couple of examples of allegations that aren't well-sourced? That sounds like something that could be solved by editing the article, rather than deleting it. — Toughpigs (talk) 22:43, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Neutral point of view is possibly another issue.Grmike (talk) 22:48, 19 April 2020 (UTC)grmike
 * "and because the overall trend since comprehensive observations began is now known to be one of warming." should have another source somewhere.Grmike (talk) 22:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)grmike
 * "Strengthening winds are responsible for trapping cold air over the Antarctic in apparent defiance of global warming. And that's bad news for Australia. James Mitchell Crow explains.   I understand this is not a discussion arena but a single source cannot disprove the entire controversy.


 * Keep satisfies WP:GNG and WP:NOTTEMPORARY. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:34, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. It certainly needs some updating and reworking, but notability isn't hte issue. Jlevi (talk) 16:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Notability is not temporary. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 06:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
