  • Seems like utter nonsense to me. Can this be speedied? Katefan0 21:57, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Original research. - Jpo 00:51, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, original research, bordering on patent nonsense. Alphax (t) (c) (e) 02:28, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu. It's mentioned in that article. Megan1967 02:57, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Rename (and disambiguate) or delete. The term 'Climate theory' is much more often used in the context of weather, meteorology, and climate change than to refer to the good Baron's theory. Perhaps a disambiguation page at this title, with appropriate links to climate, weather, and psychology topics? I fear that a plain redirect would not take most people where they wanted to go. If there is a substantial amount to be said on the topic then move this article to Climate theory (psychology) or something similar. Otherwise it can quite happily exist as a section within the Baron of Montesquieu's article. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 16:50, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Megan1967 is correct. This is neither original research nor patent nonsense. It is the discredited theory of a historical figure. I'm not sure it deserves an independent article, however. The current content is completely redundant with the section in Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu's article. Given that it is discredited, I don't know what could be added. I'm inclined to redirect for now. Future editors can turn it into a disambiguation page when they need it later. Right now, nothing from "what links here" points back to any meteorology topic.
