Don Croft
not encyclopaedic
 * Merge with Orgonite  Dei zio  01:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep sounds like a notable inventor. Much more important than bandcruft.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 02:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Was that "sounds as though he is a notable..." or "sounds as though he was a notable...".   Am I being unreasonable in thinking that an encyclopaedia article should be clear about whether the subject is alive?  Midgley 11:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. External links don't look reliable.  Also, the article isn't really claiming that he invented anything, just that he has one design of a pre-existing invention (and whether an orgone generator constitutes an invention is debatable). --Allen 04:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless verified. Reliable sources needed. Stifle 23:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This article is poorly-written needs to be replaced by a new article. The current article is written in the past tense about a living inventor.  None of Croft's inventions are listed.  The invention which he calls a "Croft cloudbuster," commonly called an "orgonite cloudbuster" or a "chembuster," is not even mentioned.  This is a unique invention that invariably differs from a Reich cloudbuster.  Reliable sources are also missing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.214.164 (talk • contribs) at various times
 * Comment. THat would be "delete without prejudice", IE if someone writes a new article then there is no reason it should not be good and be kept.  THis one is too bad.  Midgley 14:03, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. Please note that merging with orgonite is not workable, as that article is itself a copyright infringement. Regards — Encephalon 21:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I couldn't support merging because there obviously is no article at this time and I am sure Don Croft is not the only thing to talk about under that subject.
