It is a fork, does not have the right title, no sources, and states controversial ideas as established facts Jc3s5h (talk) 23:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The article Electromagnetic frequency pollution should be deleted for the following reasons:
- it is a fork of Electromagnetic radiation and health, and that article does not yet contain sufficient information about the health effects of power-line frequency fields to justify a separate article
- there is no source given to indicate "Electromagnetic frequency pollution" is the correct term to use for the subject matter; indeed, that title seems more suitable for an article related to Radio frequency interference
- the article has no sources and presents a very controversial and uncertain field of study as if harmful effect of power-line frequency fields were an established fact. Jc3s5h (talk) 23:37, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

edit- Delete as argued and in addition, the basic physics is all wrong (cell phones, microwaves etc do not have a frequency of 50-60 Hz), no sources, no sources possible, random collection of prejudices, OR, POV etc etc. Sussexonian (talk) 00:01, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. The topic is important and is valid to some degree, but, it is sensitive and one may not speculate on it in a way it is done in this article. Materialscientist (talk) 23:50, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and redirect to Electromagnetic radiation and health to match Electrosmog. - 2/0 (cont.) 07:27, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Area should be covered in existing Electromagnetic radiation and health article. States 50/60 Hz "makes the related electromagnetic radiation (EMR) harmful to us.", without scientific support. In fact References #1 WHO and #3 Health Physics Society (which appear to be the only reliable/science based sources given) appear to debunk the editors claims. --220.101.28.25 (talk) 05:51, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: If you want to see the Pseudoscience rubbish being put out about "Electromagnetic frequency pollution" follow this link to "Life Energy Solutions"in New Zealand. For a 'mere' $249 I can get "a stunning, easy to wear EMF protective pendant" that also "Balances the energy centers of the body (chakras)."!!--220.101.28.25 (talk) 18:26, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
