[edit] Bakkerism and Bakkerist

Zero verifiable Google hits for either these terms or Nicolaas Baaker. RickK 00:49, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete both, not notable, vanity neologisms. Megan1967 03:57, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Has this ever been used to describe Jim Bakker or Tammy Faye? This could be a way to salvage maybe one of the articles, if it is a valid term and someone doesn't mind writing it from scratch. Mike H 04:01, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
    • I've never heard these terms used that way, though that doesn't mean that they haven't. RickK 05:06, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I tried searching under Nicholaas Bakker on google as well, got a few hundred pages in Dutch, couldn't see any that were obviously applicable. Also searched with the name of the religion and the person and even in combination with several Dutch terms for religion; nothing. Nothing about this has been posted on the Dutch or Spanish versions of wikipedia either, which one might expect given the claims of its areas of activity. If the author wishes to keep these pages, he or she needs to better document the movement and give some tangible dates. Links to pages that can verify the page would help. However, as it stands now, this is a delete for me. -- Glen Finney 16:17, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless citations are provided, otherwise appears unverifiable. Average Earthman 18:01, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC) (corrected Average Earthman 16:00, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC))
  • Delete unverifiable. At least one factual error. —Seselwa 10:13, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless some documentation is found that establishes notability Dsmdgold 13:20, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
