[edit] Bottle Irrigation

Bottle Irrigation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Appears to violate WP:OR; earlier versions note that this technique was devised by the user that wrote the page. Doesn't seem to be verifiable from reliable sources. Rkitko ^(talk) 04:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The companion article, Grow trees is the same kind of OR by the same user and should be deleted along with Bottle Irrigation. --Rkitko ^(talk) 04:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both Signatures and use of first-person pronouns definitely indicate WP:OR or at very least WP:COI, and Grow trees violates WP:NOT#GUIDE as well. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 04:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete both per WP:OR. Keb25 05:07, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Both. As per above. The claim that the author invented this technique is unverifiable, grow trees reads like a manual, and both read like adverts. 3tmx 13:50, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge some information into Irrigation and/or Reusing water bottles or Reuse. The technique is not confined to the Third World, nor is there anything new about the idea of recycling a water bottle into an irrigation method. However, this is a type of irrigation done in places where more sophisticated machinery is not available. Probably not worthy of an article of its own. Mandsford 14:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both: OR guide with no verifiable sources. B1atv 16:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both, clearly original research and not written anything like encylopedia articles. No sources to verify that this technique was in fact "recently devised", which I'm sure it wasn't. shoeofdeath 23:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
