Municipal Solid Waste Landfills Under Seismic Loading

Someone's research paper, not an encyclopedia article. PROD removed by article creator. Drdisque (talk) 03:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research. J I P  | Talk 07:00, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, perhaps merge. This isn't original research. It's a summary of material from a variety of reliable sources, cited in the article. The material might be more useful if it were added to a more general article about landfills (and to one about seismic engineering as well) rather than as a stand-alone article, but I think the references are enough to establish notability. - Eastmain (talk) 07:47, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as is I don't know if there is anything salvageable from this article, it does sound more like an essay or an answer to a test question than an encyclopedia article. The topic itself seems to be OR, created by the essay-writer. Angryapathy (talk) 15:03, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. How on earth can this article, or its title, be called "original research" when just by looking at the titles of the cited sources we can see that this topic has been the subject of many papers in academic journals, and that the article is based on such papers? Whether this is best as a stand-alone article or merged elsewhere can be discussed on the talk page, but I can see that this is relevant to both waste management and seismic engineering so I don't quite see how merging this would do any good, because the information would need to be merged into more than one place. We should, obviously, get rid of "municipal" from the title, because I don't believe that seismic forces ask whether a landfill site is municipal or not before doing their stuff.

 * Move to a broader and more understandable title, like Seismic effects on landfills.  Sławomir Biały  (talk) 00:38, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT PAPERS as there is nothing encyclopedic in the content that I can see. ArcAngel (talk) 07:17, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
