Talk:Chemical terrorism

On 11 January 2010 I nominated this article for WP:PROD as unreferenced original research. No one objected in the ensuing week's time. In closing the uncontested PROD a week later admin User:Jclemens said in his edit summary "Decline PROD, feel free to take to AfD. It's been around for a year and a half, seems to be discussing valid topics--can it be saved? Let AfD decide." I responded in another edit summary with "To be honest I am tired of taking poorly written and unref articles to AfD where everyone says "keep" and then walks away leaving a poor quality article. Tagged instead to warn readers art unreliable." I have tagged the article to show where the problems exist and there are lots of them. Essentially this article is just a text dump from [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/chemical_terrorism the Citizendium article] that is marked as "This is a draft article, under development and not meant to be cited; you can help to improve it." From a licencing point of view this is acceptable and not a copyright violation, but the Citizendium is poorly written, cites no sources itself, even though encyclopedia articles should do so, is full of unattributed quotes and reads like a personal essay. So all we have here is a copy of a poorly written and unreferenced essay. As noted above I am tired of taking articles to AfD where everyone says "keep" and then walks away leaving the poor quality article to remain. This approach doesn't make Wikipedia better. As an alternative to AfD I instead propose removing all the unsourced and poorly written text and reducing this article to the lead para, with a hidden note asking that additions comply with WP:V. I'll leave this proposal open for a week to see if there are any objections. - Ahunt (talk) 14:35, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

:Since a week has now passed with no objections, in accordance with WP:SILENCE we have a consensus to stubify this article. - Ahunt (talk) 15:52, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
