Actually, I changed out the links for a link to the category. Click on it - it has everything needed. That list was overloaded, in any case - other people's religions are other people's religions: Hinduism is not "occult". Frater Xyzzy 20:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Then list those aspects... Tantra for example was already in the list, so Hinduism didn't really need to be. I don't necessarily agree that a secret society is automatically occult.... Frater Xyzzy 20:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I disagree. That is what the root of the word occult means historically. It is now used in the sense of "the occult" which is a specific sphere of disciplines: Astrology, Divination, Magic, etc. It does not any longer apply to all "hidden" things, or we would have to include Electricity as an occult topic, which it is not. I think it is best not to use an overbroad meaning of "occult" for wikipedia purposes. Frater Xyzzy 21:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, the real question is, how should it be used on wikipedia such that it is easy to find useful occult information without cluttering up the category with knick-knacks which are only vaguely related, for example, ghosts could be considered "occult" because you can't see them, but Category:Paranormal is a much better place to put that article than occult is...

Categories
I see why you are having trouble with people removing categories: you are not using them correctly. Please see WP:CAT for instructions, but in general, if B is a subcategory of A, and B is the narrowest category into which the article fits, you do not ALSO put the article into A. In this case, both "Fraternal and magical organizations" and "Nazi mysticism" are subcategories of "Occult" - so you do not also put the article in Occult as it is ALREADY in occult, in a subcategory. Also, when you do this - adding the vertical bar and space - that means that the article is the MAIN ARTICLE for the category, and there is NO WAY Odin Brotherhood should be the main article of category occult!

Speedy deletion nomination of Peter W. Grayson


A tag has been placed on Peter W. Grayson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fgr29. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa (talk) 18:56, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
