[edit] Rextology

Apparent hoax, only 2 Ghits and both are forum posts. NN or WP:NFT even if real. SM247^{My Talk} 11:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

• Mate, rextology is as much of a hoax as christianity is (according to Dan Brown's 'The DaVinci Code') and is a parody of other religions, and so appeals to athiests that find other religions hard to believe, therefore giving rextology its over-the-top nature. Calm down and think of scientology as you read this. By the way, there are followers, just not that many. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rextu (talk • contribs).

• Strong Delete. Yet another joke religion. No assertion of notability. Tevildo 11:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Come back when your mock religion is as well-known as Flying Spaghetti Monster. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rextology&action=edit

• See, even the flying spaghetti monster follower is having a go. Yes, it is a joke religion, because it parodises other religions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rextu (talk • contribs). NawlinWiki 12:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment His noodly appendage reaches everywhere, so to speak. Rextology has no such widespread notability that would merit an article being devoted to it. It's not that its a joke religion that there is a problem with it, just that it is not a notable one. RAmen. SM247^{My Talk} 12:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete not only does it score just two Google hits, but as far as I can tell those two hits aren't even about the article subject (they're from an RPG game forum). Unencyclopedic to say the least. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. FSM is well-known, clever and funny. This is, like so many other attempts, not. Fan1967 13:27, 29 June 2006 (UTc)

• Delete, non-notable hoax religion. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 04:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete another bogus religion. Is there a big celestial event coming up soon, with all these popping up all at the same time? Tony Fox (speak) 05:22, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, we might as well keep it, considering this is the encyclopedia anyone can edit with their thoughts or beliefs no matter how unusual or bogus we think it may be. 11.51, 2 July 2006 (+10h GMT) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.58.186.38 (talk • contribs).

• Comment User's only contribution to Wikipedia is the above non-valid comment. SM247^{My Talk} 01:57, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Don't Delete This page seems quite harmless to me and this Rextology vs. Flying Spaghetti Monster debate is plain stupidity. Deleting and criticising everything isn't going help Wikipedia in any way. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Don'tblockme (talk • contribs).

• Comment Yes it will, because it weeds out nonsense like this. SM247^{My Talk} 02:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
