Nice idea, but there are so many unsolved challenges out there; it seems unrealistic that we could write an article about all of them. — Sebastian 22:50, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Noble effort, but hopelessly unwieldy and a PoV magnet. youngamerican (wtf?) 03:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. scale of name of article is too great. this one task is not really a challenge for human race, just for historians, etc. to creator: the list would have to have at least 100 items, be in list format, have clear rational inclusion criteria, and be renamed. also, each item would have to link to an article. no redlinks! if its a challenge to human race, and its not written about yet, were fucked (as a species, i mean, not us humble encyclopedia editors). It might actually make a nice list if done properly, but it would be a lot of work.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:31, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete per all the above. One could write, Make the whole population conservative while another could write, Eliminate conservatism. Etc. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 15:47, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This appears to be testing the waters, with one challenge so far, but it would only be original synthesis. Challenge to the human race #2-- make it snow. Mandsford (talk) 20:49, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: it is a nice idea, but there's nothing there to suggest the challenge of listing all notable challenges to mankind will be done. RichsLaw (talk) 09:05, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
