[edit] The Greenhouse Conspiracy

The Greenhouse Conspiracy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A reference to a small non-notable show on British TV in the '90s, relies on a single blog-entry + the show itself. Kim D. Petersen 16:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

merge to equinox. The reason for changing my vote is that this just might be the first film of this kind per JQ (see lower). --Kim D. Petersen 19:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Non-notable old TV show; ancient (1990) and no longer relevant to its scientific topic or policy implications. Raymond Arritt 17:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable. No third party sources at all, no real info to put here. Oren0 20:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Equinox (television) I can't exactly follow the notability criteria that justify an entry on every episode of South Park but exclude documentaries on important issues, but I'll accept that they apply here, and propose a merge, on the assumption that the series as a whole is as notable as a cartoon episode. Anyway although the entry a bit stubby, I'd note some points of significance about this program.
As far as I can tell, it's the earliest occurrence of the claim that global warming theory is a deliberate fraud
WRT obsolescence, a comparison with The Great Global Warming Swindle is interesting - neither the participants nor the claims have changed much in fifteen years.
It's one of a number of instances of Equinox programs making similar claims in controversial areas of science. JQ 21:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep or Merge to Equinox (television) I note that this AfD was only created in response to the Exposed: The Climate of Fear AfD looking like not gaining consensus. It's disappointing to see an apparent effort against NPOV by attempting to delete as many articles as possible from one side of the climate change debate (possibly to pretend that the debate doesn't exist). In the case of this article, I believe that its current length is such that it would be more appropriate to upmerge rather than maintain a stand-alone article, but if it gets enough attention and grows enough because of this AfD then I'd support its retention as an article in its own right. --Athol Mullen 23:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
  • For my part, merge would be a reasonable alternative to delete. A coherent overview is better than a bunch of stubby articles on every episode. Raymond Arritt 00:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge. The individual episode is not notable. --Akhilleus (talk) 19:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep; won awards[1] and it is cited by academic papers. It would be worth mentioning on Equinox, or possibly merging to that article, but it is not suitable for deletion. John Vandenberg 12:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
