Picardism
While it may be your religion Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. The article was nonsense and therefore was deleted as such. IrishGuy talk 01:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

What is Picardism? I googled it and found nothing that explains it. SakotGrimshine 02:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

This doesn't make sense!

 * ...well, while I don't think that Picardism (the editor) has behaved well in his comments on IrishGuy's talk, nor do I think Picardism (the ideology) is founded enough to justify an entry here, I've got to agree with him that this comes off as pretty harsh. WP:BITE seems to be the guideline here, and while Picardism took the deletion personally, he not only didn't take the occasion to insult others, he sought out understanding from them, and later asked for mediation. I'm right there with everyone else in thinking his religion's off-the-wall and not fit for Wikipedia entry, but he's also shown inclination to follow the other Wikipedia guidelines.
