Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... it has almost nothing to do with Geological history of Earth. The latter is a history of processes, such as glaciation and plate tectonics, which it makes sense to organize by geological period. This article is (so far) about the physics of heat flow in the interior, and describes continuing processes that do not fit in such a temporal scheme. --RockMagnetist (talk) 18:37, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]


This article should definitely not be deleted at all. Is it just the beginning of a proper introduction to the thermal evolution of the Earth! This is an incredibly fundamental field of physical science and it relates to almost every field of geology, physics, astrophysics, material science, geochemistry, and even evolutionary biology. And I recommend this article not be merged with Geological history of Earth because Earth's interior does really care whats going on on the surface where the geology is preserved, so this topic stands by itself. If anything, pages about the evolution of the Earth as a whole should be organized under this topic, not above it. --Pederony 10:54, 14 May 2013.
