This article was listed on Votes for deletion. Of the eight comments there, five said to delete, and three suggested alternatives (keeping as a separate page, merging into Elvis Presley, or merging into a general article on tongue-in-cheek beliefs). The debate is preserved here while pondering on this question continues. -- Oliver P. 16:18, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * Church of Jesus Christ Elvis. The article itself says it's only one website. And the article's wording is pretty unclear about its subject matter.  RickK 06:25, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * I recall seeing a documentary (unfortunately cannot remember where and when) about how some Elvis fans do regard Elvis as a messianic figure. I have also met a person who claimed to have been a bishop of the "church of Elvis". How serious the would-be "worshippers" are, may be of course hard to discern. Maybe this could be added to the Elvis article - Skysmith 10:29, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * Possibly worth an article in (apparently) tongue-in-cheek beliefs, as, for example, (early) Brianism? orthogonal 04:04, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * I actually read an article a few years ago on how Elvis has become a new religious icon. The experts said that all the early signs of messiahhood and legend are showing up by now. This is real, folks. Keep. Wiwaxia 10:41, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * Delete - church is just a joke. Daniel Quinlan 17:08, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
 * Delete - article is about a one-joke website. Tempshill 00:23, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * Don't delete. It could stand to be fleshed out a bit. 70.60.152.14

Perhaps this should be part of a larger "legacy of Elivis" page or something. I'd hate to see it go. There is also the First Preslyterian Church of Elvis the Divine. It's part of Elvis' cultural legacy, like Elvis impersonation and Elvis sightings, and deserves mention somewhere. My opinion, humbly: --DanielCD 20:25, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Maybe the entire thing could be moved to become an in=depth example on Parody religion? Kuroune 00:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
