[edit] Epic of Evolution

Epic of Evolution (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Who is the originator of this idea? The list of proponents, including Heraclitus, Goethe, and Darwin, is pointless because it does not say who (apart from the Wikipedian who created this article) posits that these figures were promoting "The Epic of Evolution". I am going to try to edit the article into a keepable form. Here is the version that I am nominating for deletion. — goethean ॐ 17:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as non-notable. -Amarkov blahedits 23:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral for now. The book isn't an obvious failure of WP:BK - respectable publisher, and some legit reviews, but Amazon rank of only 650,000-odd. If we can steer the article towards the book and establish notability, I don't see why it shouldn't stay. Tevildo 23:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable enough for wik. -- Dasnedius 18:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Retain for integration with other entries: "The Great Story" and "Big History", which all have the same theme; that is, to relate the new story of creation that originates exclusively from scholarly science and history, as contrasted with "The Creation Myth" that originates from religious teachings and other anecdotal themes claimed to be inspired by divine communications. --TomEM 17:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
