Evolutionary Ufology

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Procedural nomination. Was proposed for deletion, however both creator and an IP contested the deletion. (Whilst the prod tag was not removed, their intent to contest the deletion was clear)


 * Original reason for deletion: "Appears to be original research"
 * Contested with: "The phrase "evolutionary ufology" may be a new combination of words, but the subject matter it represents is well-documented and established. Please do not remove this reference from Wikipedia."
 * Contested with: "The subject should not be removed because it is based on referenced and cited research."  Taelus  ( Talk ) 10:04, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Additional: I first suspected this of being a copyvio, but upon checking I could only find such wording on Wikipedia, thus this seems to be an essay which requires clean-up, if it is decided that the topic should be kept on Wikipedia at all. -- Taelus  ( Talk ) 10:06, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. As an original paper/essay, it's original research/synthesis and so fails WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. (And it might still be a copyvio - the original might not be on the web). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:05, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, obvious WP:ESSAY including the text: Before I continue. Awful. Too bad there's no CSD for essays. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 11:44, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Appears to be an unpublished paper and/or the text of a speech by someone associated with MUFON, the topic's notability is not established by any reliable sources. - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:49, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: Essay. Joe Chill (talk) 15:14, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: As stated above, essay. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 06:32, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
