Colonization of the asteroids

This article is speculative and unencyclopaedic in my opinion. If colonization of asteroids should ever occur we would want an article on it, but I don't think we need one right now. We do not try to predict the future. Worldtraveller 11:16, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Can be encyclopedic if all of its information comes from reputable sources (NASA studies, for example). There is nothing preventing us from having articles about future events or even presenting predictions about future events as long as we are not the originators of the predictions (they come from a reputable source). —Cuiviénen (talk•contribs), Monday, 8 May 2006 @ 11:25 UTC
Keep. Discusses future possibilities which are being thought of. Definitely not something that has been created as a joke. --so U m y a S ch 11:29, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - legitimate article about the idea of colonising the asteroids, an idea often discussed by enthusiasts for space colonisation and in science fiction. Any faults with current article are reasons for editing, not for deletion. Metamagician3000 13:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
