Result: Delist. There are no signs that improvement is imminent. Once such improvement occurs, the article can be renominated. Geometry guy 21:31, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article about the "renewable energy industry" does not follow from the definition of "renewable energy" or "renewable resources" in wikipedia and so lacks balance/neutrality/objectivity. E.g. it excludes hydro, geothermal, focusses heavily on wind, etc.

Delist. This article is under-sourced, relying too much on RGSR. Given the amount of publicity this subject has receive we should expect more and better references. For example, I suspect that certain other reliable sources would define Renewable Energy differently than what's shown in the article: The present-day renewable-energy industry is an energy industry focusing on "new" and "appropriate" renewable energy technologies, which excludes large-scale hydro-electricity.

There are also MoS problems. Some sections are stubby while others are poorly written (for example: The wind power and solar photovoltaics (PV) industries provide good examples of this)

This article needs substantial work. It will best best to delist for now. Majoreditor (talk) 00:09, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delist per Majoreditor. In particular, i think exluding some technologies (hydroelectric, tidal) either makes it NPOV (surely not everyone agrees that hydro-power isnot part of this topic), and/or failing broadness criteria.Yob Mod 13:38, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
