List of holy grails

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Almost completely unsourced original research. No usable definition of 'holy grail' CIreland 07:08, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete useless, undefined, largely unsourced OR. Doczilla 07:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Useless list - just a listing of some discoveries that weren't made yet. Strong delete. - Mike Rosoft 07:44, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. My holy grail is a wikipedia without OR articles like this. Clarityfiend 08:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I disagree that this is a useless list, I can actually see it being quite a good list. However, in its current state, it is original research, and there is no valid definition of a holy grail. J Milburn 09:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Entirely arbitrary content. BTLizard 09:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, useful content. Sourcing is in progress but article needs more time! CRGreathouse (t | c) 16:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I find this list interesting, but my concern is how can you verify it as opposed to this being original research? -- † Ðysepsion † Speak your mind 16:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete OR. Great idea, and some of the items are very logical, but could be killed under WP:NOT as well. Weak move Per Atropos. --Whsitchy 17:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Some of these items are not even physically or mathematically possible.  Someguy1221 17:44, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as OR and an arbitrary list. Interesting to think about, though. JJL 21:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Move to List of discoveries considered holy grails and source within some arbitrary time limit; failing that: delete. This could be a very informative list, so deleting it outright isn't a very good idea. Atropos 22:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Move and worth saving somewhere, though I have no immediate suggestions. DGG 01:17, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Without a clear definition of "holy grail" this can be nothing but an arbitrary list. Many of the current entries are disputable for a variety of reasons. (I doubt, for example, that many working archaeologists consider the discovery of Atlantis to be a holy grail in their profession.) Deor 13:04, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge - the idea has potential but it overlaps too much with List of unsolved problems. I suggest then that this article is deleted but any useful content from it merged into the subarticles of List of unsolved problems. Though some of the 'holy grails' listed are not 'problems' as such but are for example 'discoveries', so would need putting elsewhere, perhaps in some other existing list.

 * '''Merge per Bfinn, preserving the allusion for literary and cultural merit. Ezratrumpet 03:14, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, in some form or another (Merge or Move); the list is useful if somewhat poorly defined, and ought to be weeded out before being tossed. Noaqiyeum 04:25, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep in some form. Merge with list of unresolved problems as above.  Lawyer2b 01:55, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
