• Comment No reference to Church of Reality in this article.--Marcperkel 06:39, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Without passing judgment, I note that this is the author of both the article in question and Church of Reality. ESkog 04:57, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, neologism, original research. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 06:34, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Inherently POV to suggest that all religions based on faith are in fact based on fiction. -- BD2412 ^talk 19:36, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)
• Delete - POV if I ever did see. Celestianpower 19:42, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as nonsense. Karol 20:04, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)
• delete; aren't all religions based on fiction? Dunc|☺ 20:36, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • All but one. The problem is, nobody knows which one. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:15, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The world needs more places where people can argue 'my god is less fictitious than your god'. Delete. Niteowlneils 21:56, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete inherently POV to claim religion X is more fictional than religion Y. Unless religion X is that of the Invisible pink unicorn etc. ~~~~ 22:35, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Fiction-based article. The Church of Reality, whose web site propounds this concept, is a religion with 1 adherent. The only even tangential mentions of this concept outside of the general proselytizing by that 1 adherent are, as is the link given above, in fact matching the phrase "science-fiction based religion", and are where people are talking specifically about Scientology, not about some general classification scheme for religions. original research.

• Delete nonsense, patently POV stuff. --Etacar11 01:37, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- Rama 13:25, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Personal essay, original research, neologism, no evidence presented that this is a genuine term in reasonably widespread use. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:13, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Stupid and may invite vandalism and idiocy. For a precedent: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Matrixism, which dealt with a religion based on The Matrix, led to a merge. The merge was rejected as unverifiable, and a wave of vandalism followed(see "Matrixism linkspamming vandal" under Wikipedia:Most_vandalized_pages#Specific_anonymous_vandals). Matrixism had to be protected from recreation as well. — Phil Welch 00:33, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
