[edit] Church of Raven

  • It is more than just an "Internet" religion, and is growing in popularity, which can be seen from the growth of the board topic from one page to nine pages in a matter of two months. It flourishes on the Rapture of Raven section on The Starfire Shrine. The religion is taken quite seriously by it's followers.
  • I've had messageboard topics run 30 pages within 2 months, nothing special. Every religion is taken seriously by its followers and article fails to establish context especially on what the "Rapture of Raven section on The Starfire Shrine" is. Delete as promotion of a non-notable messageboard forum and attached religion. Mgm|(talk) 17:49, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Vanity, forumcruft, not notable. 6 Google Hits, all of them unrelated to this topic. I also have my doubts regarding the assertion that it is "taken seriously" by its followers. How serious can one possibly be when they say they worship a cartoon character? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:16, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, "*fanboy squeal*" says it all. RickK 23:44, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • This is just too funny not to weigh in on. Obviously, our friend has been watching/reading too much Teen Titans. That or they worship birds and Oldsmobiles. Delete with a resounding Azarath Metrion Zinthos! - Lucky 6.9 06:42, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This sounds like the kind of "religion" someone might come up with after a few too many drinks. Firebug 06:47, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - one of possible dozens of similar "religions" in various forums - Skysmith 08:04, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • DEL - A pointless group which does nothing more than try to gain notoriety, non-encyclopedic. Who 03:24, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
