List of bankrupt nuclear power plants

One entry... How many are there? Or is this a coatrack? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 07:36, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

One entry for now. In the future the list will grow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmtk (talk • contribs) 07:44, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Power plants, nuclear or otherwise, don't go bankrupt. The companies that own them can. The single entry was shut down, and its owner didn't even go under either. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:06, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Kewaunee Power Station. I don't see any value in a list with one entry, and Clarityfiend makes a good point as well (although it's common to talk about stores, sports teams, record labels, movie studios, etc, going bankrupt without distinguishing the owner from the more visible entity - but was this actually shut due to bankrupcy or for non-profitability/cost savings/restructuring?) I'm also suspicious of some of the criteria: "about to be closed" is rather vague and WP:CRYSTALBALL, even "bankrupt" is a bit vague based on the numerous laws worldwide for different types of bankrupcy/bankrupcy protection/winding up/etc, and should it include power stations whose owners go into bankrupcy (etc) but are then bought or restructured and continue operation? --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Dmtk, your suggestion blatantly fails WP:CRYSTAL. In addition to this, as above, it's a single-entry list, power plants do not go bankrupt, and in any case, this one didn't. Economic closure and bankruptcy are two very different things. Lukeno94 (talk) 13:03, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Clarityfiend. Utterly misleading list title. KTC (talk) 16:59, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Clarityfiend; power plants don't go bankrupt, companies do, and there's always (if even it's small) a chance Kewaunee will get bought by somebody else.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:54, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
