Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pro-vegetarianism

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was Redirect to Vegetarianism. The content of this essay is already covered in the latter article (but in a more concise form), so therefore there is nothing to merge. Deathphoenix 18:30, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Pro-vegetarianism
POV personal essay. NatusRoma 03:26, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with above, but only put a cleanup tag on the article because I thought it could be redone to describe arguments in favor of and against vegetarianism. On the other hand, with a title like that, I don't know if the article could be made NPOV. Abstain Terrace4 03:40, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the personal essay. But I think the pros and cons of Vegetarianism should be merged and listed on the Vegetarianism article. I do not think each has much content to warrant seperate articles. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:51, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree, changing my vote to Delete Terrace4 03:55, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, POV fork (no pun intended). Megan1967 08:08, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-encylopedic and probably unfixable. Anything useful from the page could be merged into Vegetarianism.--Heathcliff 12:24, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete: Terrace4's charitable reading is a good example of Wikilove and should be applauded, but my hesitation would be on whether "Pro-vegetarianism" would be a searchable lemma.  Seems to me that "Reasons cited for it" and "Reasons cited against it" would go in the master Vegetarianism article, so just delete this.

 * Delete, blatant POV and thus non-enyclopedic. The arguments should be made in vegetarinism page, not in a POV article. Wikibofh 15:12, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Vegetarianism. If someone wants to try merging, that's fine, but it's all uncited polemic and probably not worth the effort. We could probably use a more detailed explanation of meat animal production but this isn't it. Demi T/C 19:19, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to Vegetarianism I'm a vegetarian, but I don't see the need for a "pro-vegetarianism" article, this essay has alot of good information that could be added to the vegetarianism article. Stancel 00:01, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to Vegetarianism, however everyone knows that red meat is the original health food. Klonimus 03:11, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * What part of that rant do you propose be merged? Quale 09:28, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Any part that is found to be red meat by the vegetarians.Klonimus 04:01, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I would say userfy, but since this is an anon, just delete. I don't think there's much here that's worth merging without needing a complete rewrite. --bainer 14:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Complete POV. Nothing to merge here folks, just move along. Jayjg (talk)  18:37, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to Vegetarianism. As written the article is badly in need of cleanup, maybe some of the content could be included in the Vegetarianism article but it looks like a lot of work to do so. Kaibabsquirrel 18:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
