Value of Earth

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is entirely WP:OR and cites no references. There are some pages that discuss this topic, but they don't seem particularly credible. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:11, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete This is just an essay/WP:OR, taking serious topics such as ecosystem valuation and natural capital accounting to an interesting theoretical extreme, but not worthy of this encyclopaedia. I did find this reliable source in the WP:DAILYMAIL. Oh, no, wait... Nick Moyes (talk) 14:35, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - mainly original research. However, Gregory P. Laughlin did create a formula to measure the value of Earth for comparison of 'nearby' inhabitable planets. Any salvageable parts may be appropriate for ecosystem valuation where the article should probably redirect to. Although that only considers the ecosystem of course.

 * Delete Yes, as nom noted, this is a major and glaring case of OR. There are no sources and this is essentially an essay, or experiment in expository writing. It is rather incredible, though, that it's been here for 14 years. Chetsford (talk) 06:16, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with the above points. Also yes, amazing how this has slumbered in an unventilated corner since 2003! -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hang on - doesn't that mean that with inflation, the value of earth must have now increased significantly! Time to remortgage.Nick Moyes (talk) 00:48, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually in this case there as been no inflation - the price today is the same as in 2003 - invaluable.
