[edit] Pseudo-pantheism

Utterly POV distinction: "my pantheism is real pantheism, yours isn't". Has been previously deleted, albeit not in this form. Redirect to pantheism to prevent recreation. -Sean Curtin 00:54, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

• More to the point, the whole article is essentially meaningless. It attempts to draw a distinction, but doesn't actually bother to say what that distinction is. Delete. Haikupoet 01:50, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, un-encyclopaedic, POV fork. Megan1967 02:40, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Despite the wordiness, the meaning of this term is entirely clear to anybody who understands the prefix pseudo-. And even if it wasn't, Wikipedia isn't a dictionary. On top of all that, this seems like a pretext for some more POV along the lines of pan-atheism. The place to discuss these points of view is the naturalistic pantheism article. --BM 04:49, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Article is essentially worthless, and attracts Vogel-spam. As suggested, redirect to pantheism to prevent POV re-creation. --Nat 08:00, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect - should be a section in Pantheism. It's a real term used in Pantheism. What this article is actually about is things like Cosmotheism, which attempts to dress up White Separatism as "Pantheism." - David Gerard 13:25, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • The original article (written by me) mentioned "Cosmotheism" as a specific (and widely-recognized) form of psuedo-pantheism. The reference was removed by POV parties and replaced with attacks on naturalistic pantheism. --Nat 04:52, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The above comments say it all. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 18:24, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect with Pantheism, for reasons stated by David Gerard; Psuedo-Pantheism is a real concept, and worthy of mention, but only makes sense when discussed in relation to what Pantheism is anyway. --[[User:BD2412/deletion debates|BD2412] 04:41, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
