Goat on a Pole

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested speedy and prod, for reasons that completely befuddle me. Non-notable "religion," more likely a hoax or just pure and utter bollocks. It's supposed to be a religion that worships a goat on a pole. No, I'm not joking. Someone actually devotes a web site to this, which means web hosting prices have gotten to be a bit too low.

 * Delete - I agree with the nominator. Doesn't come close to WP:ORG but admirably matches WP:BOLLOCKS. 139 gHits mostly from blogs self-referencing.--WebHamster 08:06, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or BJAODN. Correction: 2830 gHits --Candy-Panda 09:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Not if you do a search on "Goatonapolists" as referred to in the article. It's a more specific search term than "goat" and "pole".--WebHamster 09:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. This article smells like a hoax made up in school one day. Although the article seems to refer to it as a parody religion, there is no assertion that it is a notable parody. &mdash;gorgan_almighty 10:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:WEB. Wikipedia is not for things made up in a zine one day. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. This is utter nonsense. The references consist of a homepage, MySpace, the users Wiki Page and a user driven site similar to metafilter. Helmsb 13:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Funny. Utter bollocks.  Delete -- Roleplayer 20:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It may seem odd to have an article on Flying Spaghetti Monster and delete this, but this article contains no reliable sources. --Pixelface 21:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
