404:: A broad and oft used term covering a wide variety of phenomona that includes both pseudoscientific and non-pseudoscientific topics. While it might be true that the "subject" is covered by other pages, but this entry isn't just covering the subject of Earth Mysteries, it's covering the term too, which isn't really covered elsewhere. There is no good reason for Earht Mysteries not to be in Knowledge. - 181:
The nominator isn't even really contesting the article, but the subject of the article. Yeah, "earth mysteries" is complete and utter pseudoscience, the article says as much. That's exactly how Knowledge should treat it. Explain what it is, explain why it's flawed. No valid reason to delete here.

wrong. But Knowledge has lots of articles about people, groups and movements that are completely wrong. My point is that "earth mysteries" is a belief that some people (sadly) ascribe to, and as such, it would be derelict for us to delete it.
454:- this is a well-used term for a range of mysterious things (or pseudosciences if you want). I've even seen it on bookshop and library shelves. Not believing something is true is not grounds for an AfD. 372: 196: 442:- clean up and be more specific as to where the references are being used (references are there, the problem is I cannot tell where they are being used in the article) (:O) - 276:- this is a very widely used term and the article needs expanding, not deleting. "Pseudoscience" is certainly not a reason to delete - want to take a stab at nominating 115: 261:
