Deletion of Mims–Pianka controversy

Comment: back into Eric Pianka, per Sandstein.  There is some evidence that this article could be sourced and kept.  Way back in 2007, when I first got involved, the Google test was much more popular in the community than it is now, and I see that |consensus has changed.  The usual outcome nowadays is to merge such controversies into |the BLP of the protagonist

Comment: An examination of the sources reveals that many are simply rehashes of other sources with some commentary, as is standard practice in blogging, and thus should not be considered |distinct sources. There is no national or international coverage of any depth. (The one international source is a short spot that recaps a blog post that is already referenced.) Coverage is not persistent. The event appears to have had no lasting effects and has not become, say, an standard example of pro-extinction rhetoric or something like that. Thus, per |notibility guidelines, this article should be deleted, with limited relevant material moved to related pages, with no prejudice against resurrection should the event become notable in the future
