[edit] Doctor of Immortality

Recommend Delete. Degree is non-notable and only issued by on organization. Additionally it does not fit with many of the other catagories listed on the main page. JDBlues 21:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Fitting with the other categories on a mysterious list is irrelevant. As for being notable or not, it's cited, and most certainly notable. There are other religious degrees such as Doctor of Divinity on the template. --GreenJoe 21:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
    • it clearly does not fit in the WP:N guidelines. JDBlues 21:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
      • It does fit in with the WP:BOLD guidelines and WP:IAR. As well, notability isn't the be all and end all. GreenJoe 21:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
        • "… but don't be reckless." pretty much says it all from the WP:BOLD guidelines. JDBlues 22:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Two sentence article on "degree" offered by a religious organization that offers anyone semi-immediate ordination as a minister free of charge. "After the study of the book A new life do you want it and passing the exam, this degree is awarded." Doesn't quite reach the notability level, or academic gravitas, of a Church of the SubGenius bumper sticker. Pete.Hurd 22:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge The Universal Life Church is notable, and there is no reason why the information in Doctor of Immortality cannot be presented there.--Xnuala (talk) 02:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
The article doesn't specifically mention the Degree of Immortality, so if someone feels strongly about it there is potential for a merge.--Xnuala (talk) 23:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
The ULC has about a dozen or so degrees.JDBlues 01:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Mrege - it really isn't a notable degree -- Whpq 17:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge - I wouldn't hire anyone because of it. But maybe fire them for gullibility, so deserves mentioning somewhere. DewiMorgan 20:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • delete - not notable in itself. It seems quite pointless to let this article languish on a merge list for 3 years (or whatever the backlog is) for two pointless sentences, when the gist of gaining easy degrees is already in the Universal Life Church article.
