Earth Changes
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete: chronically unsourced and WP:OR article, showing no improvement on this point since its last AfD in 2005. No evidence that this particular meaning for the concatenation of these two words has developed any notability beyond that of orthodox geology, ancient catastrophism‎, etc, etc. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 06:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Having read through the previous AfD, I can't see any reason to change the conclusion it reached then. Substantial work was put into the article during that AfD to make it more encyclopaedic: there are some citations, it's not OR. Bondegezou (talk) 12:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, —  Aitias   // discussion 00:02, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per OR. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 18:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article needs a lot of work, but the topic easily satisfies WP:N and WP:V. It's not science, but it's a widely known idea among believers in various religiouns and cultures, and in particular among followers of the new age movement of the late 20th century. The term is also notable as a cultural artifact used by believers in UFOs and the paranormal. The page currently has a half-dozen book references and many more are available for improving the article.  For example, Google Books shows 959 books discussing the term, and 126 books with the phrase "Earth Changes" in the title of the books. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 20:15, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep User:Jack-A-Roe's booklist seems convincing. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:39, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
