Comparison of power plants

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is an essay, it is inherently not intended to be informative, but argumentative which Wikipedia policies state is clearly not acceptable. For where this information should go (and is) see Energy development and possibly Power station. Energy development clearly contains a list of pros and cons for every power source. Article status is currently that even a basic treatment of major power sources is not present, and 90% of it is simply a placeholder waiting for someone to write it. It will be better for Wikipedia for us to deal with it now and be done with it. -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 09:46, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, incomplete OR essay. Not suitable.  I particularly like how the contents of the "Current world electricity generation" are limited to the United States, I guess the energy needs and importance of the rest of the world is negligible though.  Lankiveil (talk) 11:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete as an essay that is redundant with the better written Energy development article. --Hnsampat (talk) 17:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SOAP, OR essay. Doc Strange (talk) 20:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The fact that the USA is the only nation listed under "Current world electricity generation" is NOT due to any belief that the USA is the only nation worth listing but that the other nations have not yet been entered. It so happens that the information on the USA is the easiest to find and enter, as the US Department of Energy site happens to be in the English language, while most of the rest of the world tends to use a different language.  Since the author happens to be a US citizen, it makes sense that the USA would be best represented, do you ding someone from Russia from posting only info on Russia?

 * Fanra, WP:AFD is not the Information Gestapo (to semi-paraphrase "Dilbert"). It's not that we're arguing against your points and we disagree, it's that the article is an essay and it violates WP:NOT, especially WP:SOAP and WP:NOT. I suggest you read WP:NOT.

 * Delete, fraction of someone's essay. Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 18:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or Completely rewrite. The article heading is important and relevant, but the article itself is not writing about the subject in the heading. I have the suspection, that someone is trying to (mis)use Wikipedia editors to complete his school essay.147.175.98.213 (talk) 23:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
