Found while patrolling candidates for speedy deletion. The given reason was: {{db-nocontent}}. This is not a valid speedy reason. As this is a procedural nomination, I am neutral. —— Eagle101Need help? 06:19, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I have updated the page to be a stub page. I would love to hear feedback as to what I could do to make this article more appropriate for you.

  • Delete It's a religion that is less than two years old, and google only turns up ([1]) blog stuff and first party sources. No reliable sources, no verifiability, no notability: the unholy trinity of deletion. Deranged bulbasaur 07:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Deranged bulbasaur. Maybe have another look at it in 2000 years or so. Mmoneypenny 09:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, non notable pseudo-religion. Plenty of Google hits, but they are all user-submitted content and the like- appears that the members/founders are trying to get as much publicity as they can. J Milburn 10:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Seem to have declared themselves a church as some sort of tax avoidance scheme. BTLizard 10:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • The results of my efforts to find sources are the same as Deranged bulbasaur's and J Milburn's. The creators of this purported religion, one of whom Msheekhah (talk · contribs) (the creator of this article) is signing xyrself as, have written about it on various self-submission web sites. Unlike those web sites, Wikipedia is not a soapbox. It is an encyclopaedia. I cannot find anything at all written about this purported religion that isn't written by its creators. There is zero documentation from independent sources. The PNC is not satisfied. Delete. Uncle G 10:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Ambitious movement, but not notable. Interesting how, in an attempt to avoid labels, they actually applied one. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm very inclusive about groups that that call themselves a religion, as long as there's some evidence for actual existence--but this has none at all.DGG 04:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
