The result of the debate was delete. --Sam Blanning(talk) 10:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What at first appears to be a legitimate page and topic is in the end a pile of conjecture, a dump of links which often have nothing to do with the subject, and ridiculous amounts of POV (the author clearly wants to believe that nuclear tests trigger large earthquakes, even though according to almost all reputable sources they don't. It has sat around with a cleanup notice for months, nothing has happened with it; I don't see anything positive about having it around, any useful information can be merged into the "earthquakes" section of Effects of nuclear explosions.

- Merge to the effects page -- seems to be lots of sources at the bottom of the page discussing the correlation (or, rather, the lack of one.) If it's a myth, we should talk about and debunk it. Sdedeo (tips) 23:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete In it's current POV form, it should definitely be deleted. Deleteme42 00:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete'. Looking at the author's contribs, that is his hobby horse. Induced_seismicity will need to be cleaned out as well, and I suggest a trawl through that author's other contributions to find the other seeds of the uncited meme. Delete the author as well?

- Delete, mere conjectures not supported by seismology and otherwise an unnotable footnote in the history of crackpottery. Equendil Talk 06:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
