The result was delete, already transwikied --- Deville (Talk) 02:38, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a how-to article, has been copied to wikibooks (b:Transwiki:Pest control of slugs). It's unlikely that it could be rewritten in an encyclopedic style due to the subject matter. Links-to will be replaced with interwiki links. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 09:41, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.--TBCTaLk?!? 09:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete - transwikied article accepted. MER-C 12:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, tells you what you would expect to learn from an encylopedia article on the topic. Kappa 03:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment; you expect to find this stuff in an encyclopedia? I usually go to gardening books and websites for this sort of thing. Personally, I would not expect to find this sort of information in an encyclopedia at all. ergot 00:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• If you don't that encylopedia users should be able to find out that things like Diatomaceous earth and salt are used against slugs then I don't you should be editing one. Kappa 00:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Whatever. That's only an argument to have the subject mentioned in the slugs article, anyway; WP:NOT a how-to guide. ergot 01:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Besides, the information is still there, just on a different project that's linked from the same pages. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 09:02, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Encylopedia users should not have to visit a "how-to" website for encylopedic information. Kappa 09:03, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - but some parts may be usefully merged into Organic_gardening. MidgleyDJ 08:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Organic gardening seems to have disappeared... anyone know where it went? --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 08:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nevermind, something was buggy... I restored it from the pagehistory. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 08:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This is a how-to guide in violation of WP:NOT and not an encyclopedia article. Indrian 16:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
