[edit] Flying Macaroni Monster

Nonsense article, looks to be a parody of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Tags have been removed by author on numerous occasions. Wildthing61476 15:49, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

It's not a nonsense article, it's an article trying to prove a point, just as the original intent of the FSM tried to prove a point. M_Castaldo 15:56, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Wikipedia is not a place to "prove a point" however. The FSM is listed because it became a wellknown internet meme. This is a parody of that, that was just created, and is NOT NOTABLE. Again, Wikipedia is not a place to "make a point" but is a reference guide. Wildthing61476 15:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Why can't an article do both? Unless you'd like to disprove my religion is false. It has just as much validity as any other religion, even if it's slightly younger and unknown. M_Castaldo 16:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Why not? Read WP:POV to start. I'm not proving your religion is true/false, even though it appears this is a blatant parody, but the religion does NOT merit an article on Wikipedia. Wildthing61476 16:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment If it violates NPOV, then help rewrite it, rather then delete it. Why destroy a work when it's still being developed?

• delete looks like something made up in school one day, NN. -Sanbeg 16:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment What is comes down to is that it appears this is a parody piece for one, two, the religion itself is not notable enough for inclusion. Look I could create a religion that believe it's God is actually a armoire in a self-storage unit in Buffalo, but if only me and a handful of my friends believe in this, it's not notable. The FSM has become an internet meme and is notbale, hence the article. If in time your "religion" becomes notable then by all means recreate the article. Wildthing61476 16:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Of course, this page should be deleted. There is no religion associated with this article. The so-called religion's founder, Mike Wong, and his associates, are atheists who are using and abusing their privileges at Wikipedia for the purpose of attacking the Christian faith, which Mr. Wong refers to as "ludicrous", "absurd", and "nonsensical". Moreoever, it is being used to make his argument in debate in the ethos section of a website called The Total War Center, dedicated to Creative Assemblies' Total War series of computer games.

I strongly urge the deletion of this article, as it has no religious or historical value of any kind.
