Every search seems to indicate that this group consists of two members, Thomas Mangnall and Ben Walker. A group has to be larger than that (a lot larger) to be considered notable. Fan-1967 20:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

As a saying goes, freedom of press only applies to those who own a printing press. In other words, you can't force anybody to publish your article; freedom of expression also include a right to refrain from expression. You are welcome to post it on your personal website; Wikipedia has its inclusion guidelines which your "campaign" doesn't meet. - Mike Rosoft 20:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Your accusation makes no sense; you know, I am an atheist. For the second time: I am not deleting your article because I am somehow biased against the campaign's goals, but rather because it doesn't meet Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines - instead, it meets its speedy deletion criteria. - Mike Rosoft 21:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I have posted the following message on the "Say no to Jesus" forums. Mike Rosoft 10:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * The attacks against me which you have posted on your website are completely misguided. Yes, I am an administrator of Wikipedia. (Not THE administrator of Wikipedia, since there are several hundred of them; the founder and chief developer of Wikipedia is Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales.)


 * I did delete the Wikipedia article about your "campaign", and it wasn't because I opposed it. (That would be a serious violation of conduct which would have probably cost me my position of an admin.) Rather, it was because it has failed the Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion, and in fact met the speedy deletion criteria - namely, it was an article which made no claim of notability or importance about its subject.


 * And by the way, I am an atheist.


 * Now that you can see that all the claims made in the page about me are untrue, I would appreciate if you pull it down.


 * Thank you. Sincerely,


 * Mike Rosoft
 * Administrator of Wikipedia


 * Of course, Mike, by registering at their forum, you increased the number of registered members by 12.5%, as there are now 9 registrants instead of 8. If any further proof of the group's lack of notability were needed, that's a pretty good one. Fan-1967 14:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking down the article. - Mike Rosoft 13:55, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
