Colonization of the North Pole[edit]

Entirely composed of original research. There are no references here, and that's not surprising, because colonisation of the North Pole is a crazy idea; I don't think anyone has ever seriously proposed it, so this is not a sensible topic for an article.

Delete as original research per nom. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOR. Article is a personal essay. Practical issues aside, there is absolutely nothing to satisfy WP:V. • Gene93k (talk) 20:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete falls under WP:Hoax. StudierMalMarburg (talk) 21:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, essay. I imagine that seasonal North Pole bases have been proposed before the current annual severe loss of ice, but this is about a fanciful SF concept of a permanent colony, which hasn't been feasible in human memory. Hoax is probably too strong a word; it's closer to WP:NFT. --Dhartung | Talk 22:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not because it falls under "hoax"-- it's just someone speculating about all the problems one would have of building permanent settlements on an icecap. As Terraxos says, it's all original research-- although I suspect there may be some unoriginal research as well, since this reads like something that's been published elsewhere.
