Environmental impacts of animal husbandry in the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Starting trying to clean this up but it is a hopeless WP:COATRACK that was (and still is) full of WP:SYN, POV claims, badly sourced/unsouroced content.. Better (more neutrally, better sourced) covered at the subtopics like Concentrated animal feeding operation and Intensive animal farming etc. The lower part of the article is full of dire WP:CRYSTALBALL stuff about what the Trump administration might do.

Would have to be almost completely rewritten to make this is a WP article. Jytdog (talk) 00:32, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: This appears to be another student article, in a course, which I saw mentioned at ANI (although I don't think there is any real problem with it being a student article).  ANI discussion not yet archived, is at wp:ANI.  These articles should not be given any different consideration, it was suggested, but I think it helps to understand where they're coming from.

 * Calling for a complete rewrite can be done by a tag, Rewrite. But that means you think there is a valid article topic, right? -- do  ncr  am  05:37, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * i am not at all sure that there is a valid topic here that is not already covered by many other articles - i listed only a few of the overlaps above; there a a bunch more. Jytdog (talk) 12:05, 12 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete Between Concentrated animal feeding operation, Intensive animal farming, Environmental impact of meat production, and manure lagoon, it is an entire overlap of existing articles. – Train2104 (t • c) 15:26, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Concentrated animal feeding operation. The article has now been moved to Impacts of concentrated animal feeding operations, but Concentrated animal feeding operation already has "environmental impact" and "economic impact" sections. I'm not convinced of the need of a spin-off article at this stage. StAnselm (talk) 00:02, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as an article that is entirely covered by existing articles that we have, many of which being significantly higher quality. I don't agree with a redirect, because I don't see the title as a plausible target. The Wordsmith Talk to me 15:48, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep or at worst merge/redirect to Concentrated animal feeding operation or Environmental impact of agriculture or Environmental impact of meat production. Could certainly use a little streamlining, but the central statements are important and do not appear to be covered elsewhere. -- Kku (talk) 13:56, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. The Wordsmith summarized it well. Other articles already cover this topic to the point a merge would not provide new information, and a redirect wouldn't be useful because a redirect to a single article isn't justified over the others covering this topic, nor is it likely something that will be directly searched.
