Polar Bears and Global Warming

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a WP:POVFORK. It is a repetition of information at global warming, effects of global warming and polar bears. 14 of the 18 references are to wikipedia itself. Maybe at some point a sensible split can be made from Polar bears but trying to salvage anything useful from this will be difficult. Also this is not a good name for that article as it is just an amalgamation of two separate things. So saving it as a redirect seems pointless. Polargeo (talk) 12:10, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete This is an essay that sources all of its points to other Wikipedia articles. Mandsford (talk) 15:27, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Complete WP:POVFORK & poorly referenced. "Global warming and polar bears are interchangeable" should really say it all. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 15:34, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a proper article, although well intentioned. An article could be written on the topic, but I'm not sure it would be worth the effort to do so. Probably better to have a section in Polar bear. Redddogg (talk) 16:21, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails verifiability. Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 21:30, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete There are WP:OR and WP:RS problems. Warrah (talk) 04:41, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I found the topic interesting and read the article, but could not learn anything from it - I have only a common knowledge of global warming, but even though, the article appeared too trivial. (technical comment - references are a disaster) Materialscientist (talk) 05:43, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Global Warming and Polar Bears are interchangeable" is an interesting sentence, however. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 19:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. Next time it's a really hot day, I'm going to say, "That may be a sign of polar bears."  Mandsford (talk) 23:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Pointless article using wikipedia as main source.--Staberinde (talk) 11:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly inappropriate as a POV fork. Topic already covered adequately under polar bear and global warming/climate change. Steven Walling 05:27, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
