Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/World Transhumanist Association

World Transhumanist Association was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. 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 to keep the article.

If David Pearce gets vfd'd, his organization ought to get put up for a vote as well. --DMG413 15:30, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * KEEP. This organization has been getting some significant attention due to the public interest in, and press coverage of, transhumanism. Let's not get carried away due to the problems with the David Pierce article. Loremaster 16:01, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I'd rather not delete it for guilt by association, but what does this article actually say? It says, "WTA was founded by X & Y.  It's goals are good.  See the following 6 links."  Abstain, pending any indication of notability whatever for anything good (as opposed to infamy for being a spam factory). Geogre 19:42, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Definitely notable. --Improv 20:04, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't like that logic, we can't eliminate anything just because its creator is non-notable. - Lifefeed 21:12, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep for reasons stated by Loremaster. GRider 23:05, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Pearce's notability is questionable, but I consider the co-founder Nick Bostrom notable and the WTA itself even more so. -- Schaefer 21:08, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Definite keep. I would like to see some expansion though, maybe on the lines of what sets this transhumanist group apart or makes it unique among the others. Any takers? Inky 04:51, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, and BAH! on Transhumanists. —Florescentbulb 03:59, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete link repository. Might as well say North Valley Clown Alley was founded by Bongo the Clown and other clowns.  They win awards.  Everyone loves clowns.  See the following 8 clown web pages.  and y'all know I love clowns. Pedant 08:04, 2004 Nov 19 (UTC)


 * Keep, strongly disagree with Pedant's analogy here. Stop clowning around, deletionism is serious business. [[en:RaD Man|RaD Man (talk)]] 17:52, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - Trollminator 21:40, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
