Speedy deletion nomination of Gospel of Josephus


A tag has been placed on Gospel of Josephus, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Appears to be a db-g3 hoax, as there are no mentions online or otherwise.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Theopolisme TALK 21:13, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gospel According to Seneca


The article Gospel According to Seneca has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No indication or evidence of notability. All references provided are from a website that consists of the text of the play.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * Hi Randomish, I have a feeling that this article will be deleted, so I just wanted to drop a note here that might help you out with future articles. The basic guidelines for inclusion in Wikipedia are outlined at WP:NOTABILITY, and, since the "Gospel According to Seneca" would technically be a work of fiction, it would also be judged according to WP:NBOOK.  I noticed that you added a link to a website that mentions the Nazarenus website.  This wouldn't constitute significant coverage in reliable third-party sources; you might want to have a look at WP:RS.


 * As for the article itself, you might note that there is no work known as the "Gospel According to Seneca", that's simply the title of the first linked chapter of the "book" at the website. As you mention in the article, that work claims that Seneca wrote a play called Nazarenus of which there are no remaining fragments, which the chapters (called "Acts") attempt to argue for and reconstruct.  So the article should either be called Nazarenus or Nazarenus: a contribution to the reconstruction of Seneca’s lost play after the title of the "book" on the "play". (But it's actually just utter WP:FRINGE nonsense that doesn't really warrant an entry anyway.)  Though I think this article should be deleted, I love these modern literary hoaxes dealing with classical texts.  My favorite is the Morazla "Scrolls", which claim to be a translation of new portions of the Satyricon. That book is hilarious and all done for fun, but you might also want to check out Constantine Simonides if these hoaxes interest you. All best, davidiad.: 15:27, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
