Ontological Status of Essence

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A large lump of original research. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom - this editor makes well-meaning but unencyclopedic contributions on this subject, promoting a particular POV. The first version of this article was speedied as incomprehensible, most of this version is a straight lift from the Catholic Encyclopedia with some incoherent additional OR statements. There is nothing of value here that isn't already much better said elsewhere. andy (talk) 07:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - while an interesting subject, this version of the article adds little to what we have elsewhere. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:10, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

 * By the way, when you see a large piece of text with few or no wikilinks, there is a *high* chance it's been copy/pasted from elsewhere, a quick Google check on a sentence or two usually gets you confirmation. An article such as this is deletable on sight. See CSD G12 for the speedy deletion criteria for copyvios. Equendil Talk 10:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete due to copyright violation. Bill (talk 13:09, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - since the author doesn't seem to be able to write this material without breaking important WP rules (spam, nonsense, OR and/or copyvio) it's best that it should be deleted as a result of this AfD rather than speedied, to prevent re-creation. WP:SNOW could be invoked of course. andy (talk) 14:05, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per WP:OR.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 09:30, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as copyvio per above. --Lockley (talk) 21:34, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Post-closure comment: The above G12 suggestions and the subsequent deletion seems to have been in error, as newadvent.org/cathen/ is a verbatim reproduction of the Catholic Encyclopedia, a Public Domain source. There still seems to be consensus for deleting, though, given the other issues. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
