[edit] Embryo space colonization

Article appears to be largely hypothetical original research. Aside from this subject's use in fiction, there aren't any sources cited to verify that there is any interest in pursuit of embryo space colonization. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 18:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep The concept has been used in numerous science fiction books and tv shows, which alone is sufficient to justify an article. Its presence in science fiction makes it not OR here. It does not have to be a funded NASA program or published research by a scientist to be a proposal. Synchronous communication satellites aldo first appeared in science fiction, as did space travel.Edison 22:26, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Without verification, there's no way to know whether or not someone just thought this up one day at school. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 14:42, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep However sources should be added, it should be made clearer this is purely theoretical, and lastly it should mention its main use at present is in science fiction.--T. Anthony 02:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I would not say it's even of theoretical interest, but just hypothetical. The ties to fiction are (barely) reason enough to keep the article, and the introduction should be rewritten to make this clear. The whole thing could use better sectioning, too.

  • Keep, possibly rewritten to eliminate any original research, but the idea is definitely worthy of an article Nik42 03:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. "Aside from this subject's use in fiction, there aren't any sources cited"? You might as well say "aside from the sources cited, there aren't any sources cited." The numerous examples in fiction are more than sufficient to establish that this warrants an article. Bryan 05:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
    • The article doesn't discuss the subject's use as a literary device. It discusses it in original resarch fashion as a viable enterprise. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 14:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
      • Which means it needs a rewrite. I can't do that at the moment as thing in my life intrude, but it is doable.--T. Anthony 16:42, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Noteworthy, and appears in a bunch of books, apparently.
  • Keep -- part of several classic science fiction stories... AnonMoos 12:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This isn't something thought up one day in school. RFerreira 23:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
