[edit] Temple of the Vampire

Temple of the Vampire (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Fails notability, verifiability, and practically nothing about the organization can be substantiated due to its secrecy. In addition, much of the present article is copyvio. metaspheres 04:20, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete no assertion of group's notability. It may also be repost of deleted page Temple Of The Vampire, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Temple Of The Vampire. Kavadi carrier 05:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete Commercial pitch. Plus, these poseur vampires are, like, totally ruining vampirism. Auto movil 06:13, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as an article about a group of people that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. The introduction vaguely cites a big-book-of-vampires otherwise this is just a rephrasing of content from the group's website. I'm pretty sure we have a policy against that... -- IslaySolomon | talk 07:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as per above. And below:

The Temple supposedly exists in the town of Lacey, although its presence there is doubtful (Guinn, 1996: 50-55). Given that the Temple is largely a mail-order organization like The Church of Satan, the lack of an official establishment is hardly a surprise; Lucas Martel, the founder of the Temple of the Vampire, was a member of LaVey's organization. Many contemporary vampires become involved with the Temple for a time, but few continue because they disagree with its brutal world-view and come to believe that it is little more than a money-making scam.
