I have no idea what to make of this, other than that it's clearly unencyclopedic in its current form as it is basically an indiscriminate list. The article is a list of some ways the world could end, ranging from 'Atomic war' to 'All women grow penises'. I was close to speedy deleting it under CSD G1 (patent nonsense), but it doesn't quite fit into a speedy deletion category and there may be something it can be redirected to as it's a plausible search term. Note that the previous version of this article which was deleted in 2006 is quite different to the current version, so it doesn't fit into CSD G4 either.

- Merge to Doomsday event which is a better article on the same topic. Colonel Warden (talk) 10:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, do not merge as information is unreferenced. A valid article on this subject could potentially be written, but this indiscriminate, apparently original research-based list is not worth keeping. J Milburn (talk) 12:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It has a variety of blue-links which may be worth merging. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as duplicate of Doomsday event. 23skidoo (talk) 14:04, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It's a pretty lame duplicate at that, as if the author was making a grocery list, or just trying to kill some time. Turns out that "all women grow penises" was one of the author's original visions of the apocalypse. I don't know... I think the effect of a woman on the growth of the male organ is crucial to the continued existence of the human race. Mandsford (talk) 15:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Though I think it's funny that the only "fictional" entry he could think of was "Take-over by aliens from outer space." Since doomsday hasn't happened yet, aren't these all fictional? Matt Deres (talk) 01:11, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete This is as close as one can get to a perfect example of a crystal ball. Also, it's a duplicate. Paragon12321 (talk) 04:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The article needs an extinction level event itself. Lawrence § t/e 18:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
