This article is about one person's perspective on carbon dioxide removal. It talks mainly about the article "Carbon Is Not The Enemy", which may be notable itself, but then also attempts to discuss the concept of "carbon positive". The problem is that the term can't be accurately covered when the topic is written from the perspective of McDonough's article. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 04:07, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to carbon sink. Ultimately, this could be a useful redirect term for someone searching for the term carbon sink but not really knowing the exact terminology. That said, I could see this being a case for delete then redirect. The article comes across as very promotional, and the creator looks like they're closely tied to McDonough from what little I can see. The term itself as they try to use it is a bit of a WP:NEOLOGISM, and there isn't notability for the article as it stands. The word itself is also a bit troublesome since what they really seem to be alluding to is net negative carbon, which can be a bit counterinuitive if you're using "carbon positive". Either way, redirecting to somewhere that focuses on carbon source/sink would get readers in the right place without confusing them with an article like this.
