[edit] Religion in Nigeria

The main article religion in Nigeria lacks the details you've added on other religions. Since the section 'Religion' in the country article Nigeria is supposed to be a summary for the main article, I propose moving the details of the minority religions there. Please put a note on the Nigeria talk page or my talk page if you disagree with this. Regards Rexparry sydney 00:22, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Re the additions you have made to 'other religions'. The principle is fine, but I have doubts about the inclusion of some of these. The entries for the Rosicrucian Order and Hari Krishna do not tell us anything about these religions in Nigeria, and in particluar where they operate, how many adherents -- and this isn't the place to discuss what these religions are about, their own articles are for that. Some of them are also questionable on grounds of notability. If the Grail Movement only has 20,000 adherients worldwide, how many in Nigeria? A thousand?In a country of 140,000,000 virtually every religion, sect and cult will be represented. I daresay Buddhism and Bahai have far more adherents than those you've chosen. But the most questionalble addition is Scientology, and I've deleted this because firstly there's no evidence presented that there are any substantial numbers in Nigeria -- two high profile members doesn't make it notable. Secondly the reference you've quoted does not back up the text -- there's nothing in the article to back up the claim that Scientology is praised for curbing corruption amongst the government elite. Lastly, Scientology is not included in the article Religion in the United States, where it was founded and has the most members, so what justification is there for including it in Religion of Nigeria?
