Divinism

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable "philosophy" that appears to have no existence outside its own website and a couple of blogs. Zero meaningful google hits. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 11:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong delete: non-notable topic based solely on User:Gregkaye's self-citation to his WP:SELFPUB website. May qualify as WP:SPEEDY G11. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 11:53, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:N, which requires "significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources independent of the subject". The only sources I can find are this, which is the founder's website and is neither reliable, third-party or independent and this, which may or may not be about the same thing but either way, as a geocities site, is not reliable. Note that the concept by the name of "divinism" is found in almost all major religions, but it is completely distinct from this faux-religion and not in any way related. People searching for sources on google books may pull up lots of hits for divinism as I did, but these all refer to the religious concept, not the religion. In reply to Hrafn - can we get it under "non-notable club"? :P. Ironholds (talk) 12:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable "religionette". The term "divinism" could perhaps be defined in Wiktionary. -- Scjessey (talk) 13:27, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:N - I agree with Ironholds - the word can be found used in Christianity, Hinduism, applied to the cult of Father Divine, etc but not this way. Dougweller (talk) 14:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have to admit, this is the first time I've seen a proposed WP:DICDEF. But, it is no less a dictionary defnition.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 19:29, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Possible redirect to Divinization: would this be a likely search target? If not, delete, as this topic is clearly not notable.  Nyttend (talk) 15:35, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
