Recent Gas Price Crisis[edit]

Even though it has sources, it's an original commentary in violation of WP:NOR, and expresses the author's opinion in violation of WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete, this disruptive project needs to be stopped. Wikipedia is not a free web host. Nakon 02:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as this essay is pretty much just original research and synthesis with a non-neutral tone. And I'd agree that the bulk of these essays have been rather less than I'd hope for from univ. students, but we have gotten at least one decent article out of it. Bfigura ^(talk) 02:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I concur with the assessment of NawlinWiki and Bfigura. This is also a POV fork of Energy_crisis#Emerging_shortages. The subject could be more objectively dealt with there. As it sits, it is too soapy. Dlohcierekim 02:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge what is useful with Oil price increases since 2003. This article does have at least some references. Noble Story (talk) 02:57, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- As per earlier comments (or in this case, adding fuel to the fire) Ecoleetage (talk) 03:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete POV title (how recent is recent? is it really a crisis?) and original research/synthessis. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Original research and per the comments at all the other related AfDs. Enigma ^message 03:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete per above and per nom. BoL (Talk) 03:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article seems more like an essay, and violates WP:OR, gas has been rising for years not just recently. Dwilso 04:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
