Bohemian crater

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable fringe theory. Only coverage is in conference abstracts and self published sources. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:47, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I should note that these claims have gained some attention in the Czech press, for instance this 2007 article in Tyden magazine, as well as some interviews about the topic with Petr Rajlich, the main proponent of the claims, for instance a 2007 interview in Czech Radio, as well as a 2014 interview in the newspaper Deník, though my opinion is still delete as we cannot write a neutral, scientific article using these sources.

 * Also including within the nomination Rajlich's hypothesis, which is closely related and has the same issues. 03:34, 8 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete I'm afraid I concur on both articles - Bohemian crater as well as Rajlich's hypothesis. We are lacking peer-reviewed material to base articles on. Conference abstracts are fine as supplementary refs if the foundations are shored up well by higher-quality publications, but they can't provide the sole basis (and note that all the peer-reviewed cites in both articles are about ancillary points, not the topic itself). I've seen some absolutely batshit stuff presented at conferences, apparently because the title and abstract didn't ring any alarm bells with the organizers. Not saying that this hypothesis is in that class, but I don't think there's sufficient existing sources to justify either article. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:45, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I concur that both articles lack the proper sources and are non-notable fringe theories. The way the Bohemian crater theory disputes well established plate tectonic models without any solid, published arguments is definitely fringe in nature. Paul H. (talk) 13:40, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete It is well known that this crater was formed following the after effects of a particularly successful UK rock band's concert at Wembley. -Roxy . wooF 20:17, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, I agree with the opinion above "though my opinion is still delete as we cannot write a neutral, scientific article using these sources" Cinadon36 08:17, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
