[edit] Colonization of Ceres

Violates WP:NOR and WP:V. Awolf002 22:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. I'm not sure I understand how this is an OR issue. The article is well cited and appears to take its direction from those cites. Am I missing something? Erechtheus 23:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

The given links do not provide verifiable information as of WP:V in my oppinion. Instead these are self-published texts, which means this is obvious OR. Am I wrong? Awolf002 23:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

No -- I'm not saying you're wrong. Your argument just wasn't obvious to me so I thought I'd ask. I'll check them out a little more closely before "voting". Erechtheus 23:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough! Note to self: Be more descriptive. Awolf002 00:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep -- This is no different from the other space colonization articles. Ceres is just as valid a destination as any other location in the solar system. If it was merged into Colonization of the asteroids it would constitute a good 40% of the article; I'd say leave it as is. --AlexWCovington (talk) 23:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per all of the above. I see no violation of either WP:OR or WP:V. --Daniel Olsen 23:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
• delete Original research based on non-reliable sources. 23:52, 12 September 2006 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikkalai (talk • contribs)
• keep @.@ the article has no POV issues, no OR. nothing wrong with it. --Pedro 01:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per all above. :) Dlohcierekim 03:07, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Also see relevant discussions in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colonization of Mercury, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colonization of Venus, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colonization of Mars, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colonization of the Moon, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colonization of the asteroids, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colonization of the outer solar system. All these articles were nominated for deletion and all were kept after all.--Nixer 05:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: This Afd is only about this article. Do not confuse this as a "vote" about the general topic. My concern is that none of the cited two primary sources pass the policy rule in WP:V regarding Personal websites, blogs, and other self-published or vanity publications should not be used as secondary sources. Does nobody else see this obvious breach of policy? Awolf002 11:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep - not inherently deletion-worthy, though I agree with nom about low quality of sources used - why is text from a game cited as a reference? Ergative rlt 21:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it is for the Colonization in SciFi. Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 22:49, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Valid, like all the other space colonization articles. --Centauri 11:09, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The acceptable parts of this article are already present in 1 Ceres. Alternatively, redirect to Colonization of the asteroids, but without merging. Michael Kinyon 13:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Well cited (Could use a few more refs however) and it has no POV issues. Its an article on possible colonization of Drawf Planet Ceres. This article doesn't violate WP:NOR or WP:V Æon ^{Insanity Now!}_EA! 22:44, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
