This is unsourced, speculative, OR. The single blog entry, that may be by the same author, is insufficient. Delete. Bridgeplayer 16:47, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, expand with history as this is an idea that has been proposed and studied several times e.g. 1997, and this particular proposal was widely reported and discussed.[1][2][3] --Dhartung | Talk 01:22, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If you look over the older versions, originally this was about the earlier proposals (particularly Kim Stanley Robinson's), but somewhere along the line Angel's "lots of little shades" has crowded out the earlier "one big shade" proposals — iridescenti (talk to me!) 01:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Good point, although the other proposals seem to be differently named, e.g. "solar shade". --Dhartung | Talk 01:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep / expand - a few ok sources. The article only talks about a space sunshade though - what about the sunshade you have in your car? Maybe move to Sunshade (Planetary engineering) or something similar? Think outside the box 12:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
