[edit] Intelligent Design or Evolution?

The article is an abstract on a book presenting arguments in favour of Intelligent Design. I fail to see any evidence that the book eve made any impact; the Amazon sales rank is somewhere around 200000. Wikipedia isn't an abstracting service. Pilatus 13:54, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Rewrite or Delete. An article on the book would be fine, but delete if it can't expand beyond the abstract -AKMask 14:00, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. At best this merits a bibliographic entry in the main article. Any attempt to rewrite this page would amount to a fork. Durova 14:44, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

A fork!

• Delete, not worthy of an article.Gateman1997 00:10, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Promo for an unnotable book. Business Wire is that-a-way, guys. --Calton | Talk 00:29, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Possible copy-vio -- reads like promo, not review. Delete (possibly with x-ref to Intelligent design --Simon Cursitor 08:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Feed to talk.origins lions. --Cyde Weys _talk^contribs 15:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Rewrite, mentioning only new arguments that the book makes. I've never heard the (asinine) adenine/ATP argument. It may be ridiculous — but has anyone else made it? If it can be shown that this book (1) makes no new arguments or (2) is really that unpopular, I would be willing to delete on Durova's grounds. --Mgreenbe 16:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Any new arguments this book makes belong on the main page as cited references. Durova 17:09, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete promo of nn book. KillerChihuahua^?!? 16:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Include info in an article on Stuart Pullen if he merits one, otherwise just put this on the appropriate untelligent debate pages etc. Dsol 17:21, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per nom & comments above -- Jheald 18:00, 15 December 2005 (UTC).
