The result was redirect to Flowering plant#Evolutionary history. The phrase gets hits on Google and Google Scholar, so it seems a plausible redirect, and, as the saying goes, redirects are cheap. Deor (talk) 16:52, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't even make out what the article is supposed to be about - the BBC show? That's not mentioned in the text - and if it were, it very likely wouldn't be notable. This material seems more suited for another sentence or so at Amborella rather than an article. Elmidae (talk) 21:08, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Flowering plant#Evolutionary history, where this topic (which is a quote from a letter Charles Darwin wrote) is already addressed. Everymorning talk 21:16, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Everymorning. Dbrodbeck (talk) 21:29, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wha, wha? Seriously? This is an article? It seems to me that it's rather the text of another article. I propose this text be merged into the proper article, or just plain deleted. Sahibdeep Nann (talk) 22:31, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Really no cause for this to be a redirect. PianoDan (talk) 16:00, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If this were 1880, people might be looking for this title, but it's 2015, so a redirect is not needed. Delete. Bearian (talk) 18:12, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
