[edit] Eudemism

The article is about a religion, Eudemism, that is apparently so obscure that neither of the two Google hits mention it. Google Without any sources to support it, this article appears to be fantasy, not even an honest, attributed neologism. However, I'd be happy to be proven wrong if anyone can find a verifiable source for this information. -Willmcw 09:39, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, not notable - and those two Google hits dont even refer to this specifc philosophy. Megan1967 10:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. DMOZ and the dictionary don't mention eudemism either. Furthermore, the user who posted this article doesn't have an immaculate track record (to put it friendly). At this point, it seems like fantasy, and is therefore not encyclopedic. It eudemism really exists, an article can always be added. Until then: delete. Aecis 10:39, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article is without references and may be just a fantasy. Ben please vote! 11:58, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Original research, possible fictitious religion, obscure even if existent. — Phil Welch 14:43, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not verifiable, no indication of significance. Barno 19:22, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, smells made-up to me
  • Delete. Without a source, unverifiable. DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:07, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment perhaps the poster was thinking of our old friend Eudaimonism? Some similarities in concept, slightly different root. -- BD2412 thimkact 22:24, 2005 May 16 (UTC)
    • They may be the same, though Eudemism (according to our article) seems to go beyond philosophy and into the afterlife. It posits a supreme being who would judge the souls of the dead according to the moral purity of that soul rather than the religion they followed. I can't find any reference to Eudaimonism to being judged by a deity.-Willmcw 22:48, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep... at least for a while to see what comes out of it. It might be interesting to watch, at least, and then delete it afterwards.
  • Delete sounds like the Raelians only more made up! Master Thief Garrett 08:27, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
