Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frisbetarian

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was KEEP with MOVE to Frisbeetarianism. The new name has a number of supporters following it, and one delete changed to it (whether Angr follows that support with Buncofgrapes is unclear, but the conditioning would seem to make Angr a keeper of some form). -Splash talk 01:16, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Frisbetarian
This isn't even a parody religion, it's a sig file. Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is notable. Discordianism is notable. This is not. DS 18:09, 7 September 2005 (UTC)


 * nowhere in the deletion guidelines does it say something must be a phenomema; the text is entirely accurate. As far as I can tell, this is entirely within the acceptable content for wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drcrumb (talk • contribs) 14:20, September 7, 2005
 * Delete per WP:NOR, Importance, etc, etc. &mdash; Lomn | Talk / RfC 19:06, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: It was an idea invented supposedly invented by George Carlin. The "Frisbeetarianism" link in his article points to Frisbee. Frisbee, in turn, links to George_Carlin. A redirect to George Carlin seems reasonable, but a delete wouldn't be out of bounds. Al 19:08, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. User:Popeccola and I have been bantering this term about for years.  Turns out it's from a 1975 skit from The Jim Stafford Show.  Heck, I mentioned it on Popeccola's user page when he established the account.  I just updated it today. - Lucky 6.9 19:42, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but more sources are better. Sdedeo 21:18, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless sourced and better justified as notable. The 317 google hits for "Frisbetarian" (most message boards and blog entries) don't strike me as enough to merit a keep here. Bunchofgrapes 21:40, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: "Results 1 - 10 of about 17,100 for Frisbeetarianism." -- BD2412 talk 12:48, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Excellent point. Changing vote to Rename to Frisbeetarianism, which appear to be the correct spelling.  The -ism parallels Flying Spaghetti Monsterism nicely too. Bunchofgrapes 14:50, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've put in a request to have the current occupant of the Frisbeetarianism article space (a redirect to George Carlin) deleted to make way for such a move. -- BD2412 talk 15:03, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename to Frisbeetarianism . Notable enough. Redirect to Carlin would not be quite right. -- BD2412 talk 02:06, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete with the same provisos as per Bunchofgrapes --Angr/undefined 06:00, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Re: This [is not notable] . Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is notable. Discordianism is notable. This is not. FWIW, I'd only ever heard of one of these three things until recently - although I've always seen it spelt Frisbeetarianism in the past. Widespread term. Needs either a keep or a redirect, but something of it should be kept somewhere. Grutness...  wha?  08:23, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, Cultural reference, people could easily run across the term and look in Wikipedia for more info. We should have that info if we can.  24.97.252.34 13:34, 8 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep and Rename to Frisbeetarianism. Remove redirect to Carlin. -  Introvert   talk  21:18, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
 * BJAODN, unless it attains real notability. Owen&times; &#9742;  00:16, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
