[edit] Limits of the Alps

The article is unnecessary, and is simply wrong. Stemonitis 08:26, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

A quick update: I have now written Geography of the Alps, which includes a section on the Main chain of the Alps, and one on the Limits of the Alps. The latter at least, is now entirely superseded. --Stemonitis 13:27, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per nomination --Stemonitis 08:26, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It was certainly a worthy topic in 1911, and while I'm not really interested, I'm sure some geologists are. I trust that you are right when you say the information is innacurate, and therefore should be updated to better reflect the current consensus. (What with all those plates and stuff.)  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  08:47, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Conditional keep - the article definitely needs to be cleaned up, too. -- NSLE (Communicate!) <Contribs> 09:58, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Conditional keep - the subject is encyclopedic enough, it's nice to know what other landforms (seas, plains, mountain ranges) surround the Alps. But it's not very accurate right now, and it should be integrated into a Geography of the Alps article (together with "Main chain...", and probably more). Markussep 10:17, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Nothing here that coudln't be in Alps. Title unlikely to be searched on. —Morven 11:50, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge a trimmed version into the Alps article. -- Kjkolb 12:20, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect The updated Geography of the Alps is a good home for the material. Shouldn't delete outright, since title could be bookmarked or linked from hundreds of places around the net. Stan 13:38, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect as per Stan. MCB 01:21, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete article history to get rid of the 1911 rubbish and redirect to Geography of the Alps. Martg76 09:02, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
