[edit] Wholism

The page has been created by the Webmaster of the only site that mentions "wholism", and therefore looks like vanity or original research; as a result it has no potential to become encyclopædic. The creator has stated on the Talk page his lack of interest in Wikipedia and unwillingness to learn how to improve the article, so there's unlikely to be any help from him. The supposed religion is merely Pantheism. Two editors have tried to make the article a redirect to holism, but it has been recreated; a redirect to Pantheism might be the best solution.

• Comment Ogb has been doing some more entirely fictitious editing. [1]. His contributions should be regarded as vandalism. --goethean 00:59, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Comment It seems to me that Goethean is the vandal. He keeps reverting all my contributions, which are quite specific and descriptive, such as Whole, Wholon etc to his favourite holism. What is the 'Whole' if it is not God? If he wants to revert the word whole ( without the capital c) to holism then let him. But I don't see that the word whole is specific to holism anyway. I just do not understand what his problem is.--Ogb 03:19, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

What is the 'Whole' if it is not God? --Ogb

The word "God" is not be mentioned in the dictionary as a definition of the term "whole". Your opinion may be that god is the whole. But your opinion does not render that usage to be encyclopedic. Please point me to the authoritative sources —as defined by the Wikipedia guidelines—that you can site for this definition.
