[edit] Orionwisdom

I would say new-age mumbojumbo, but someone will object - so I'll go for nn --Doc (?) 23:02, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I'll go with nn. --Etacar11 01:21, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• I don't object. Stop being hypersensitive. Mumbo-jumbo, balderdash, gobbledygook, gibberish, patent nonsense. Delete -EDM 05:10, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
• I don't know that the factual nature of religious beliefs should really be called in question. However this is clearly a stub article. I'm aware that the Orion material and its author has been active for over twenty years now. I know they have a book published and still have semi-regular workshops in Washington DC. The article as it stands is woefully underinformative and does not read like an encyclopedia entry, but I don't think that's grounds for deletion. Alkzndr 12:42, 27 july, 2005

  Well, of course the factual nature of religious beliefs should be called into question - that's called intellectual inquiry. But I wasn't supporting deletion of this article because I thought the belief was untrue (I do think that, but that is irrelevant); I supported deletion because the article is both content-free and unintelligible. Maybe the article could be rewritten and expanded, by someone with knowledge of the, um, belief system, to include encyclopedic material - though having looked at the website I'd have to characterize that as content-free as well. But more fundamentally, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to assemble information from multiple sources and to synthesize it into an article that provides more information than the reader could obtain from any single source. Does any information exist about Orionwisdom besides that website, such that any content in the article other than an external link to the website wouldn't be superfluous? -EDM 17:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
