Talk:List of cults

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From WP:RfD, August 6, 2005:

  • List of cults → List of groups referred to as cults by some media outlets -- POV - not relevant to article content --ZappaZ 04:55, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Delete. inherently POV ≈ jossi ≈ 17:53, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep. It's obviously impossible to create an NPOV article called List of cults, yet people will, I suspect, sometimes type that in the search box. Redirecting to a nicely NPOV list of purported cults that cites specific media outlets is not POV. Quite the opposite, it's an impressive example of the Wikipedia community's dedication to neutrality. --LostLeviathan 01:13, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep. I created that redirect to ease finding the article (if someone types List of cults, it is best to return the List of purported cults article). It also helps avoiding people creating another list of cults type article. --cesarb 01:31, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
      • It's pretty much a dead certainty that if something isn't here, someone will re-create it. So if we do delete it, I'll put a {{deletedarticle}} on it. Noel (talk) 02:44, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
        • Please don't put a {{deletedarticle}} on it; it's an obviously encyclopedic topic. I would vote for moving the article to List of purported cults and changing the redirects as necessary, per CesarB. That title is cleaner. --Idont Havaname 03:03, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep. Plain term. -Willmcw 05:24, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

From WP:RfD, February 20, 2006:

The nominated redirect was kept, useful search term, most likely a high-traffic redirect for anybody unfamiliar with NPOV/political correct article nomenclature of Wikipedia. — Mar. 3, '06 [18:51] <freakofnurxture|talk>
  • Keep unless we are going to have a list of verified cults. The list makes clear what it is, and that's probably what the user wanted in the first place. Just zis Guy you know? 11:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. For same reason as User:JzG. -Will Beback 21:30, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
  • keep because people will search on "list of cults". I understand that this may not be very fair to the groups listed, but it is very informative. Andries 22:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
