[edit] List of tropical countries

This list is not useful. "They usually have high quality beaches, a hot climate, and they are known to produce many varieties of exotic fruits and vegetables." Punkmorten 08:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Poorly-defined and not-very-useful list.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  08:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This is what travel agents are for. Dlyons493 Talk 09:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Original research resulting in an incorrect definition, silly characteristics, and a pathetically incomplete list, also listing entities that are not countries --Lambiam^Talk 10:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete obvious problems with WP:NPOV and WP:OR. There is now article on tropical country which could adequetly define what a tropical country either Ydam 10:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Littered with original research. Isn't a particuarly useful list and has the potential to repeat information which is better explained in other articles.--Auger Martel 10:28, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I tend to be strongly inclusionist and even for lists am willing to consider 1) utility and 2) possibility of future growth as extenuating criteria. But this really fails for utility, as others have mentioned. If the author wants to work on this topic, I'd suggest working inside a main artile. Hmmm...I just searched for a main article on the tropics or tropical zone/climate and had no luck. For the author, I'd suggest going to Climate and working from the list of climate zones that are given there. Don't just put this list on that page! But start with tropical climate and start writing there using sections breaks when you edit: == Tropical ==. And then summarize important features of a tropical climate.

• Not useful - and potentially misleading. Delete unless someone can point out to me any high quality beaches in Chad or Botswana. Grutness...wha? 23:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Incredibly subjective original research. Tell me, what does "exotic" mean, exactly? Grandmasterka 04:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
