End of the world economy

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unreferenced, only two external links, one to an an Italian language blog and the other to an English article which has no apparent connection to the subject of the article apart from having the words "economy" and "end of the world"; that is, the article appear to concern the BS about December 21, 2012 while the Roberts article has no connection whatsoever to that. older ≠ wiser 12:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the article is problematic because, though you can find several blog sources online speculating about the subject, I can't see anything of substance to justify this article. The news source in the article is about the threats to the US economy, which is not necessarily the same as the end of the world! Of course, if anyone can show this article is based on reliable research and is not WP:OR, I don't mind changing my 'vote'. Sionk (talk) 15:25, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unverifiable nonsense. I'd really like to see the reliable source that draws a connection between the economy and "the fate, from an astronomical point of view, of the Earth". That kind of macro-engineering is beyond humanity's capabilities for the foreseeable future. Huon (talk) 16:15, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Right now it's a fringe view. If experts really thought the world economy would end soon we would hear more about it. If it does happen there should be an article on it, of course. BigJim707 (talk) 20:27, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A bunch of OR. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:53, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, quickly, before 21 December 2012 - after that, there won't be much point anyway. Ha ha ha. But seriously, if the end of the world does happen, the resulting article will likely end up here at AFD as WP:NOTNEWS. Stalwart111 00:15, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
