- Coral Calcium Claims (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
This article is a fork of Coral calcium and is based on text that has been the subject of an edit war at that article. There really is no good reason for a separate article here; any content should be discussed at Coral calcium rather than being forked out at a separate article. I'd say this should be Deleted and inclusion discussed at the source article.--Isotope23 talk 16:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As a historical note, I originally boldly deleted this article, but a few editors expressed reservations about this at deletion review, so I've undeleted and listed it here. Isotope23 talk 16:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Response: My contention is that coral calcium itself has become a content fork of calcium, and to avoid confrontations with the creating editors, I created an article specifically to hold the POV content in a neutral setting. Please consider that WP:CFORK allows for this: Content_forking#Articles_whose_subject_is_a_POV. Magnonimous (talk) 22:29, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete POV fork of Coral Calcium. STORMTRACKER 94 17:19, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Clearly a POV fork, going so far as to copy text still existing in Coral Calcium.--Prosfilaes (talk) 17:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I originally removed all the POV content from the original article, and transferred it to the new article.
- Delete per nom and above. Also looks a bit look some original research to me, since it cites sources to help prove its arguements rather than citing sources that say the content of the article. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 17:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as a textbook example of an inappropriate POV fork. MastCell Talk 19:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- "POV fork laden with original research" Please keep in mind that half of this article has gone uncontested on the original Coral Calcium Page. Magnonimous (talk) 22:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Also note that content forking specifically allows for articles about points of view, as long as the article as a whole is balanced by containing all notable views. Magnonimous (talk) 22:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
