List of deadly cults
This page keeps being redirected to the List of purported cults. I propose to delete this page, and merge any useful info into their own articles, or into cult suicide for the following reasons: --Zappaz 20:35, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) There are articles on each and every one of the groups indentified in the article;
 * 2) The List of purported cults already lists them;
 * 3) It is POV to redirect List of deadly cults to an article that lists many groups that do not fall into that category whatsoever.


 * Merge this list into the existing entry under cult suicide. The information is potentially useful. Arkyan 22:46, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Good idea. --Zappaz


 * Merge anything useable. Megan1967 02:59, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete The title is inherently POVTjc 07:47, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge the content to the appropriate separate articles and then Delete this title. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:54, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of purported cults. -Willmcw 21:55, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect: Zappaz, can we redirect to a sub-heading within List of purported cults? And what's wrong with having a redirect, anyway? If anyone searches for "deadly cults", they'll ran smack into a neutral, balanced article that clearly distinguishes between "cults who committed murder or suicide" and ordinary NRMs. (I'm not offended at all to have people who mistakenly think the Unification Church is a cult, click their way to info on my group via "deadly cults". They might even realize their mistake. -- Uncle Ed (talk) 22:08, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
