Delete This page is chock full of OR. Also, not a single source in the entire article. GlassCobra 01:00, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Delete unless the inexperienced author, User:Harsh bmw2000, indicates that his research is being published, in which case temporarily userfy, or keep if he can add sources. Remove first-person occurrences and advise the author to read Wikipedia:No Original Research. Has potential to be a good article. --SmokeyJoe 06:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looks like a cut and paste (e.g. "as shown in Figure 1") but can't find the source to know if it's a copyvio. Dbromage [Talk] 23:47, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete A long article, clearly cut and pasted, ending with "Based on the results of these analyses, I was able to evaluate if FIB abundance is related to any of the above specified parameters." And who are YOU? A victim of plagiarism, that's who. Mandsford 00:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
    • I suspect that it is cut and paste from the author's own work, probably not a copyright violation, but it is a violation of WP:NOR and WP:V. As Harsh bmw2000 does not appear likely to fix the problems, that article should be deleted. --SmokeyJoe 01:59, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
