Seawater desalination in Australia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is written in an essay-like manner and does not maintain NPOV. It's written like a paper that would be presented at a conference. Paris1127 (talk) 04:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, but eliminate the non-Australia-specific discussion. There are sufficient references to support an article. Alternatively, merge into Desalination. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:53, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merging (a cleaned up) article into the desalination entry seems like a good alternative to deletion. No other country has an article about desalination, so why should Australia? Paris1127 (talk) 22:34, 1 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep but delete/move 80% of it 80% of this is coverage of desalinization in general. All of it needs work because it it written like an essay rather than a article. North8000 (talk) 13:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep per above. Lots of wiki articles are substandard, the solution is to fix them.  This is clearly a noteworthy topic. --99of9 (talk) 01:47, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per keep arguments - No other country has an article about desalination, so why should Australia?  is not appropriate argument for deletion SatuSuro 10:52, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: AFD is not cleanup. Currently cleaning the article up a bit. A412  (Talk * C) 01:41, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Withdraw The article can be improved. I just hope that someone else knows how to close this AfD, because I don't. Thanks everyone. Paris1127 (talk) 02:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
