[edit] Order of Ormus

Order of Ormus (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Order of Ormus does not exist, its only hoax or joke. Author of article give link to one article about Vatican secret archives, where is nothing about this "order" and as reference book cite Boulton´s Knights of crown, where is nothing about this. Of course nothing about this order is in Burke Word orders, van Duren Orders or any other book. Yopie 14:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. I don't know what the book references say about the Order, but one of the only two things that I could find in either Google Books or Google Scholar was this, which claims that "there is no historical evidence of an Order of Omus," although it does say it was mentioned in some Dossiers secrets, whatever that means.

• Delete Almost certainly a hoax and content appears to have been taken straight from here. [1] Edward321 (talk) 04:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete What was started as an apparent hoax is starting to look more and more like blatant vandalism. This article remains unsupported by any relevent references, yet continues to grow unchecked. I will be tagging this for speedy deletion under CSD G3 Mstuczynski (talk) 19:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I think I should add this information: Ormus mentions that the country was populated by Mandaeans. If you look at the article for Mandaeans, you find that they reject Jesus as a false prophet. The major portion of the article on the "Order of Ormus" cites their connection to the Vatican. Thus we have, in effect, an anti-Christian belief system that the article claims is supported by the Catholic Church. That is the smoking gun that proves this is an obvious and blatant hoax.
