  • Delete, perhaps a case for speedy delete as a blatant hoax. I don't know where to begin. "Voviology" seems to be a non-notable neologism; we fortunately lack an article about the subject whose grandmastery is proposed here. The article's text —

    Voviology is present across the globe and its ideology has slowly permeated into people’s daily lives. Voviology influences and changes people in living a more effective and well-rounded life by preserving moral values.

    — seems to be a murky mix of martial arts and pseudophilosophy likely to be of interest chiefly to old school David Carradine fans. Original research, and given the grandiose claims made by the article, a likely hoax as well. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. It's not a hoax, but there are fewer than 200 non-WP ghits for Voviology, most of them directory listings etc. Utterly non-notable fringe religion. However the article itself is a copyvio so I've marked it as such. andy (talk) 15:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete don't think it's a hoax [1] but nn subject and atrocious article. JJL (talk) 18:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
