List of Schedule 1 substances (CWC)[edit]

This looks like some government instruction sheet copied from somewhere. In fact the first paragraph gets 53 google hits [1]. Anyway, I don't think this is an encyclopedia article. Is this something for Wikisource? Sjakkalle 12:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note from author: The source is the OPCW. This page is meant to replace and expand material currently on Chemical Weapons Convention, though I agree that the introduction needs some work doing on it. The format and placement of the list on Wikipedia allow links through to the articles on individual chemicals, and a check-tool for editors writing new chemicals articles. Hope you'll keep it ;) Physchim62 13:14, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. However, let's make sure that good Wikipedia practices are followed. Physchim62, it looks like you've been doing a lot of contributing to Wikipedia, so thank you for that. Please make sure that you are within fair use requirements and are not directly quoting your source material, and that you are not duplicating material already found elsewhere on Wikipedia. I am all for keeping this article, it seems to have valid information. EvilPhoenix

  • Keep This is a useful page, particularly in these days of terrorism. I can imagine this page getting a lot of hits if there is a major chemical weapons attack. Walkerma 23:59, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Wikipedia has expanded past half a million articles covering practically all aspects of almost everything. With such a number of articles and many new ones introduced every day, the article topics are now getting more detailed. Considering the detailed nature of many of the articles in the half a million we have, I think it is consistent for Wikipedia to keep this internationally applicable and relevant list, although I concede it is not relevant to most people. Also, the list is not so exceptionally long that it poses a burden for Wikipedia to keep. As for the fact that it does not seem like an encyclopedia article, perhaps the explanation should be expanded so it is like one. H Padleckas 04:21, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the nominator I'm shutting this down now, I see that I'm clearly in the minority on this one. Sjakkalle 06:48, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
