Cloned Dinosaurs and Their Ability to Survive on Earth in the 21st Century

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A so-called "research paper", it is either WP:NOT or WP:NOTESSAY &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;   &#9743;(talk)  00:52, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete As the nominator points out, this article openly claims to be a research paper, and Wikipedia is not a publisher of original research. This bears little resemblance to an encyclopedia article, and is advancing an argument, rather than covering a notable topic in a neutral fashion. I made minor formatting changes to make it easier to evaluate the article, which has many other serious problems I won't bother to list or correct.

 * Delete The article as it stands is indisputably WP:OR. The remaining question is whether the topic is itself notable, that is whether there are sources that discuss if dinosaurs could survive today and which would allow a non-OR article to be written. There are some popular science sources and forums/blogs/etc, but that's not enough. It would probably be better to discuss it in an article on hypothetical dinosaur cloning, which is a notable topic. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:38, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as certainly a WP:OR essay. I agree with Colapeninsula that dinosaur cloning would be notable. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:11, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete If we were able to clone dinosaurs then it would be noteworthy, as we cant its opinion and future science that doestn contribute to anything taht should be on here Amortias (T)(C) 18:14, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Probably don't need another, but per all of the OR-related reasons above: delete. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  |  16:37, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
