[edit]

Original research. RickK 06:41, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Doesn't belong here. utcursch | talk 06:58, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • Just my POV, but Tigers always win ;) <3 Delete. Tygar 08:39, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not encyclopedic. —Brim 17:37, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep — Plenty of web hits and there was a show about this on the Discovery channel. Besides I could actually see some interest in this issue among younger readers. It does need to be cross-linked. — RJH 17:47, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless good verifiable sources (who are those "zoologists who think the lion would win") are provided prior to expiration of VfD. Too speculative. Not encyclopedic. Personally I think that it is just as likely that if "a group of wild lions and tigers" were placed in a pit, that the outcome would a bunch of little ligers and tigons in about 105 days...

    • That's assuming if both cats are fed. Megan1967 05:48, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Lion vs Tiger is one of the biggest animal debates on the web." ...not until Microsoft give their next OS the codename "Lion"...Doesn't belong on Wikipedia, not encyclopedic. Nick04 19:31, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Whatever. Tiger Hand always beats paper. --iMb~Mw 01:49, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, no useful information here--nixie 02:10, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Is this supposed to be a parody of Star Trek versus Star Wars? Gamaliel 02:13, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and wikify. —RaD Man (talk) 04:02, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, almost every "X vs. Y" or "differences between X and Y" article is unencyclopedic. Radiant! 08:25, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The Recycling Troll 10:14, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Note that the above user's sole raison d'etre is to follow me around and make tiny edits to articles I have just edited, and to vote the opposite of the way I vote on VfD pages. RickK 23:41, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
      • Note that the above user's personal attack is completely untrue. I think this article is worth keeping, I was interested to read it even if Rick was not. The Recycling Troll 14:51, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • Actually, Rick's statement seems entirely factual. Jayjg (talk) 07:18, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • This gives the notion to many that lion vs tiger is entirely 50/50 however this has not been widely accepted. Very informative. Delete. Fredrik | talk 10:52, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Can you believe many students are taught to write in this style? Anyway, delete this article for being speculative original research on an encyclopedic topic. -R. fiend 17:45, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Original research, at least. Could be a deletionist trap set to embarass any inclusionists who might vote to keep it. --BM 20:48, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • <rubs hands together> Excellent.... Gamaliel 21:07, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete. Comparison articles are pointless. --Woohookitty 01:32, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - possibly add info to each page for the "younger readers" but not necessary Selphie 12:56, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC) *talk*
  • Delete X vs. Y articles usually not encyclopedic. --Holdek 22:13, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This should be kept, it does not break any rules and shows no bias toward neither animals.
  • Great Article Why should we delete it? It has some great info in it.
  • Keep I've always wanted to know who wins between these two animals, so I think it should be kept.
  • Keep Maybe wikify instead.
    • Above four unsigned remarks added all within a period of of a few minutes of each other by 24.6.241.70 Dpbsmith (talk) 01:43, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neither original research nor dubious claims are allowed on Wikipedia.
  • Keep Nice topic and shows no bias in it.
  • Keep. Not a bad way of writing it but needs to be wikified. Keep it.
  • Keep Good read on a very close match up.
  • Okay It isn't the greatest but it is okay to keep.
  • Keep. Not bad, wikify it though.
  • Keep As long it does not contain any bias which I don't see, I think it is fine.
    • ALL of the six unsigned remarks above were added in a single edit by 24.6.241.70. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:49, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Note: The above line is yet another edit by 24.6.241.70, who has a number of votes here in the double digits. The unregistered user should know that he/she is wasting his/her time, as multiple votes do not count. DreamGuy 03:09, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Original research, non-encyclopedic speculation, sockpuppet supported. Jayjg (talk) 07:18, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
