Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jedi Religion

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus. There would just barely be a consensus to redirect, counting FreplySpang's "Redirect or Delete" vote as "Redirect" since no one else voted to delete, but there is also some indication the article was cleaned up in response to one or two redirect votes. Of course, anyone is free to redirect or merge it, provided there's no consensus against that. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 10:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jedi Religion

• Redirect to Jedi census phenomenon, as Jedi religion already does. Or just delete it. FreplySpang (talk) 15:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• I'd rather redirect to Jedi, which deals with the "religious" aspects of Jedi (which Jedi census phenomenon does not). —Cuiviénen, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 @ 01:55 UTC
  • That sounds good too. FreplySpang (talk) 13:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• As much as this pains me... there are enough people taking this seriously to (cringe) Keep it as is. The sci-fi aspects of Jedi don't touch on any current real world interpretations, that I see, and the census phenomena really doesn't address anything about the actual adherents' philosophy or religious views. It's probably notable enough in comparison to say Discordianism or Church of the Subgenius, or all the people who take being Klingon really seriously. Georgewilliamherbert 06:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Jedi. Also, the "news articles" section seems to be copied and pasted from the articles themselves, which means it's probably a copyvio. BryanG 22:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I've removed the copy'n'pasting and requested that sources be referenced appropriately. Heycos 02:05, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Jedi per above. — Deckiller 22:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Georgewilliamherbert. Use the force, Luke! -999 04:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. While the Jedi article discusses Jedi philosophy, it doesn't really cover the Jedi religion as actually practiced on present-day Earth. And even excluding the Jedi census phenomenon, there appears to be a small number of people who actually genuinely believe in the Jedi philosophy. The question is whether this number is large enough as to be non-trivial. -- wacko2 05:21, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
• Yes, redirect to Jedi. Weirdy 04:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Jedi census phenomenon, which has the information that people landing on this page are most likely to be looking for. TH 07:13, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
