Arguments for the existence of Bigfoot
Mostly duplicates a significant amount of text in Bigfoot. Merge and redirect to Bigfoot. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:27, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, possibly rename to cover arguments both for and against - Bigfoot is currently 56k, and needs a chunk sloughed off anyway. BD2412  T 13:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * That information has it's own article as well Arguments against the existence of Bigfoot--The_stuart 14:23, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Bigfoot article is already too large. Duplicated information should be removed from it. That was the orignal reason why I created this article in the first place...--The_stuart 14:21, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep given size of bigfoot article. It needs better cross referencing with the arguments against. By the way, you don't need to take merge proposals to this forum. Capitalistroadster 17:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. If it duplicates info from the main article, then delete the material in that article and make sure there's a link here. 23skidoo 17:21, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, as the Bigfoot article is too big. Carioca 19:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Both of these articles are badly titled. Attempting to fork articles for individual sides of a debate is a short route to a perpetual NPOV dispute.  (The neutrality of these articles has already been the subject of dispute, and will no doubt continue to be so again and again.)  See Criticism of Christianity, Criticism of Islam, Criticism of Mormonism, Criticisms of communism, and Criticism of Hinduism for examples, and lessons that should be learned from.  These articles should be merged into an Existence of Bigfoot article that encompasses the entire debate.  Bigfoot can then have a small summary style section that links to that as the main article.  However, this isn't a matter for AFD. Uncle G 19:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename to Evidence for the existence of Bigfoot, there isn't a single argument on that page. --BadSeed 23:24, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - seperate argument to Bigfoot so no need to merge. Zordrac 00:11, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please the other one is too large Yuckfoo 03:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
