[edit] Separate but not

The topic nuclear power phase-out is almost its own topic. If there's a way to remove excess duplication, keeping only to keep clarification, that would be the best option, but the topic in my opinion should remain separate. Who the H**L wants to scroll a very long article?

Just two cents from a user. 66.53.18.169 03:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC) Richard Boettner

I agree that it deserves its own article. It doesn't seem to be a particularly successful policy, but it has from time to time been a very popular one in parts of Europe and to a lesser extent in the USA. See Talk:Nuclear power phase-out#Proposed new article. Andrewa 06:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Why was it deleted? I show that it was created on 11 August 2005. To me each article is long enough to stand alone. 199.125.109.81 22:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
It wasn't deleted, it was merged with the nuclear energy policy. All relevant information from the nuclear power phase-out was incorporated into this article. As the nuclear power phase-out policy is a one segment of overall nuclear policy, I don't see any reason (excluding only the reason that the article is very long) why this information can't be included in this article.

I do not see that at all. The current article does not stand a chance of covering the issue properly, and the previous article should be restored. 199.125.109.127 04:12, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
If you see that some important information is missing, please add it. It's not a reason to create a new article. And talking about restoring old article, it was actually quite messy. So I propose to start develop current article and try to cover all policy aspects properly.Beagel 05:28, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Once more I went through the old article and there is no way to restore old article as it heavily overlaps with existing articles. All phase-out policies by countries are described shortly in the Nuclear energy policy and if necessary in country specific articles. Pros and cons of the nuclear phase-out are actually Cons and pros of nuclear energy as such and are listed in the Nuclear power. It leaves only the subject of nuclear phase-out as popular/political movement, but actually it not described very well in the old phase-out article. It definitely deserves to be described more precisely (most significant politicians; organisations etc supporting nuclear phase-out), so I propose to start adding this information into the Nuclear energy policy article. If this section growth too long, the separate article could be considered. Beagel 09:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal to remove the tag

The North American section is tagged with "Globalize tag", but there is no explanation on the talk page. Without proper explanation added, I would propose to remove this tag.Beagel 20:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland

The most recent situation in Ireland is probably best summed up in [1]. Simesa 19:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Country notes

As this article is too long and not very well structured, I propose to remove country information from this article into the spin-off article Nuclear energy policy by country. We should also work out what to do with the overlapping information in the articles Nuclear power and Nuclear power by country.Beagel (talk) 10:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
