[edit] Deletion attempts

This article was deleted by User:Adam_Cuerden without discussion nor consensus on 12 December 2007. I restored it today, only to have renewed efforts to remove it by getting others to agree to deletion again. There is an effort by a number of individuals to delete (or remove by merging to another article) a number of articles related to esoteric/Theosophy/Ascended Master Teachings subjects.

I am a homeopathic physician with 27 years clinical experience. One week ago on 6 December I saw that the tone of the Homeopathy article was so POV that it was as if it was a non-encyclopedia article that would be better titled "Criticism of Homeopathy". I wrote a number of comments and suggestions on how the the article could be improved to NPOV standards. I was personally attacked by the "skeptics" that had attached themselves to the article.

Then the tactic in the last several days changed. Several of the anti-homeopathy POV editors went to my user page and checked out my "user contributions". The harrassment started as they started messing with those esoteric/Theosophy/Ascended Master Teachings articles I had worked on - with derision and mockery, and eliminating 3 of them by "redirects" to another not identical article (which I reverted) with no discussion or consensus. Each of these 2 editors had essentially made those articles unavailable.

You can see the derision and mockery directed at new religions that developed in the 20th century that were based on Theosophy at:

I've written some comments there. However the tone became increasingly nasty when User:Fireplace tried to discredit me by dredging up 2 FALSE asccusations that I was a sock puppet.

They have been going to the articles in the "Ascended Master Teachings" category and attempting to get rid of them. See: "Category:Ascended_Master_Teachings"

[edit] Removed two maintenance tags

I removed two tags from the article in chief: {{Notability|date=December 2007}} and {{Refimprove|date=December 2007}}. Even given that I have been editing it recently, and relatively careful to add references for the data I added, even the text that preceded what I added seemed to be better referenced than 95% of many other articles. I also tend to feel that notability across a fairly wide variety of sources is adequately demonstrated by the article, at least in its current state. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 01:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
