[edit] List of Pantheists

List of Pantheists (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Another randomly assembled list, lacking references and weakend by questionable inclusions. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. In addition to lack of sourcing the subject is not well defined and the criteria for inclusion are vague. If a figure's pantheism is notable it can be included in an article on that subject. ~ Antiselfpromotion (talk) 23:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Convert into a category: the list is very random. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 04:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Since the article on Pantheism is so large (almost needing a Summary Style), this list is a nice compliment to it. Ashame it wasn't named List of Notable Pantheists. Assuming the individual articles for each name on the list support the notion that they were Pantheists, this list in my view, meets WP:Lists guidelines.--Mike Cline (talk) 12:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per Mike Cline but organize and alphabetize it NewYork483 (talk) 16:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete many issues including verifiability, reliable sources, and possibly original research. Ben1283 (talk) 16:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Ben1283 & Antiselfpromotion plus taking into account Mike Cline's comments, the first bio of a live person I looked at didn't mention pantheism, thus we could run into WP:BIO problems. Doug Weller (talk) 18:33, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Essentially the world's oldest religion that many prominent figures express beliefs in. The sheer number of edits to the list shows interest in the subject. MiracleMat (talk) 15:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: I'm not convinced that this article shouldn't exist, since we have a list of atheists whose contents are just as open to debate as this one. However, that list avoids becoming Original Research by keeping an extensive set of references (i.e. one per item). If we were to go through and supplement this article with sources we could avoid the whole OR issue and weed out any people that don't belong. Enoktalk 00:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
