Hypothetical technology

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to be original research, and is written like an essay. If deletion is not valid, it should perhaps be made into a list. Kirbanzo (talk) 02:38, 12 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep – this is a topic with many notable subtopics. There are many articles on notable hypothetical technologies. Besides being a class of notable things, it is the focus of analysis by scholars, who look at various aspects of it, including risk assessment, technology strategies, factors in planning research and development, etc.     &mdash; The Transhumanist   04:39, 12 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I know, but I'm listing it here as it's not encyclopedic in it's current state. If you can revert to a state where the original research is not present, I will willingly withdraw the nomination. Kirbanzo (talk) 16:41, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * But you haven't pointed out any OR. And the term "encyclopedic" is too general for anyone to know for sure what is being referred to. See WP:Encyclopedic. That's why it is included in Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.
 * What specific statements in the current article do you believe are OR? Not knowing what you were referring to specifically, I stripped out everything in the lead without a citation, and have added a neutral statement explaining the contents of the article. If there are any statements that were removed that you were not referring to, please feel free to put those back in.  &mdash; The Transhumanist   20:15, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep, a perfectly reasonable set index article, although I would challenge the inclusion of vaccines as I stated on the talk page. SpinningSpark 15:46, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies GNG. The other problems are WP:SOFIXIT. James500 (talk) 07:00, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
