Diabolism
Proposed for deletion on the grounds of vandalism and notability

On two occasions the redirect to Satanism has been removed and an article inserted by Kyrus and 80.9.139.207. The former is a pseudonym Russell Gray Sneddon uses on Internet forums (one of which I admin) and the IP is similar to the one he has used there. The first edit was reverted to the redirect but the second one seems to have stuck. Putting the entry back after it was reverted is bordering on vanadlaism especially when the "religion" is just an invention by Russell Gray Sneddon and isn't notable and is purely here for self-promotion purposes. I could revert this back to the redirect for a third time but I wanted to make sure it was officially removed once and for all as it looks like this could easily get bogged down in a reverting war.

 * Comment These are the results for the google test if anyone is interested. Yanksox 16:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Just a quick note but I am not objecting to the word Diabolism per se - it is the equivalent to Satanism and was rightly redirected there. What I am objecting to is the information on a "religion" that was inserted (twice) when the redirect was removed. Here is a test for that permutation (Emperor 16:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC))


 * Redirect to Satanism and lock against vandals--Ioannes Pragensis 18:10, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Ioannes Pragensis. --Coroebus 17:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Devil Worship or something like that, as this article clearly does not describe Satanism, which is not the worship of devils and demons.
 * Just a quick comment but the article as it stands doesn't describe Satanism - that is part of the point of it needing to be removed. It should redirect to Satanism and has done on two occasions  only for this to be removed and an entry inserted about a made up and non-notable "religion". Diabolism is a synonym for Satanism according to the dictionary  and its worth noting that Devil worship already redirects to Satanism. (Emperor 13:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC))


 * Comment To whom it may concern... I did not write the wikipedia page "Diabolism"... My name is merely entered on it. Yes, please delete this entry. Thank You for your concern. Also, it may have been nice if I could have been informed that this was going on. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rgsneddon (talk • contribs).
