[edit] Oudentheism

Non-notable neologism (and what is wrong with atheist?) Avi 05:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Note: Just because I added a source, does not mean I have changed my vote. Feynman was an atheist; Oudentheism is a non-notable neologism that should be deleted, or at best transwikied to wiktionary.-- Avi 06:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
I should change my vote to Strong Delete. Wikipedia is not a place to create neologisms to give the veneer of authority; once this word becomes accepted, and thus notable, outside of wikipedia, then it may deserve a place here. -- Avi 23:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Definitely needs sources for all listed persons, if not provided then Delete as unverifiable and possible hoax, else keep. TheRingess 05:51, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Hi Avi,
I understand what you're saying, both about non-notability and wikipedia purpose. Please be assured that the contribution was not intended as a hoax or any claim of authority, but your succint comment reminded me that wikipedia aims at authority and is not the right place to suggest a new term.
By way of explanation, it just seemed to me that oudentheism, 'no gods', describes something different from atheism 'without gods'. As I understand it the privative a- prefix in Greek means 'without', so atheism refers to those who are 'godless','without gods' or who 'have no gods' whereas oudentheism refers to the explicit premise or proposition that there are zero gods.
In any case, good on you for adding the citations. Feel free to delete. Cheers.
I added both sources (and the Feynman quote) to Wikiquote for future reference. Thanks for being bold.-- Avi 02:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
