I don't think a separate article is needed- in no way it is an exceptional occurence of the lunar eclipse and so all the details could easily be included in the main article.

I'm inclined to agree, but as of 00:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC) it's not even over yet! Peter Grey 00:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I do think we should have a page on it. I came to find information on this specific eclipse. But I've already said this in the AfD nomination. Korinkami 09:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I do think that a total eclipse is worth a dedicated article, to display specific information on the event that could hardly be displayed in the main article on lunar eclipses. Also take a look at this suggestion I posted to improve the quality of the article with better pictures. --DarTar 10:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of lunar eclipses

I began work on a list of lunar eclipses, using the same format as the list of solar eclipses. So far it only contains the two 2007 eclipses, but there are 228 more this century and there are another 230 from the 20th century that we may want to include. Please place further discussion on the article's talk page. ··· rWd · Talk ··· 08:20, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Shouldn't there be a template with the archive to the AfD discussion on this page? It seems to me that such a template makes it far less likely that someone else will come along and delete it. Sincerely, your friendly nominator for deletion in this last instance, IvoShandor 08:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I like how no one answers. Pretty cool. IvoShandor 16:22, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I have added the afd summary template.- Gilliam 03:39, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stat table

I tried a sample statistic table (for evaluation or improvement or rejection(?!)). I uploaded a quick graphic of the moon's path across the earth's shadow. Obviously the NASA graphic is better. I appreciate a wider view map that shows a little of constellations and stars as well as the earth's shadow. A worldmap graphic showing visibility (as the Nasa page has) would be great addition too.

Incidentally for graphics, I see the NASA page says on eclipses:[1]
