 * Delete as this is largely original research.  coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  23:05, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as OR, redundant to 24-hour clock. I guess you can make an overly complex description of just about anything simple, although the difference between the two clocks is fairly obvious to any person who ever learned how to tell time.  Beyond that, one can compare anything to anything.   Imagine how much one could write about the differences between shoes with laces and shoes with velcro straps.

 * Keep Let we explain why it was made to begin with. It was made following discussions, on the inconsistencies between the two articles.  The artilces were also being overrun with with comparisons instead of talking about the topics. This article was therefore made to work this out.  Also there is significant content in this article that has never been and would be inappropriate to out in one of its two "parent" artilces. Zginder 2009-10-27T13:54Z (UTC)
 * Merge to 24-hour clock, then merge 12-hour clock and rename the joined article. Miami33139 (talk) 17:53, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless a rescuer can come up with sufficient reliable sources for the comparison as its own subject. While I sympathize with the problem of keeping unwanted material out of the individual clock-type articles, a separate article for the comparison seems inconsistent with WP:FORK unless it can sustain itself as a notable subject in its own right. With nary a sign of a source anywhere in the article, this comes across as pure original research. --RL0919 (talk) 17:57, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
