[edit] Lachrymology
Prod contested by IP editor. This seems to be a non notable hoax religion. Beyond the mere fact that it was invented by progressive rock band Tool, it is not referenceable from independent sources. WjBscribe 00:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per non-notable, no reliable sources. It's not like it made the news or anything, and only fans of the band (myself included) know anything of or about it. (It's also over 10 years old now, many new fans wouldn't know about it unless they'd read a fan site, and it doesn't even appear on album covers or in anything official from the band - it was simply a word dropped during an interview, and a subsequent "explanation").

DeleteRedirect As my username comes from the first Tool LP, I am obviously a huge fan. However, it's not notable, and would be best summed up in a sentence or two in the main article. the_undertow talk 00:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)- Delete as already noted, there is NO independant notability for this "religion" beyond perhaps a 1-2 line mention in the article for Tool. Again, big fan of Tool and Perfect Circle here, but that doesn't mean that Wikipedia needs this article. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 01:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- As a side note, a pre-emptive redirect to Tool (band) may be appropriate, since it is likely this article will be recreated, leading to this again. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 01:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. This term will most likely be googled by fans so your idea is a good one. the_undertow talk 01:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

- Delete Non-notable subject with no independant third party sources. A short summary of it can be put into the main Tool article as already mentioned. Clearly it doesn't have enough independant sources to have its own article. AngelOfSadness talk 01:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
