Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michel Potay


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Redirect to Pilgrims of Arès, since it has the most sources. Only one article appears needed on this subject. Revelation of Arès is redirected also, to the same target. Editors may undo this merge plan if they wish, but consensus does not favor three separate articles, and the !voters believed that the Michel Potay article was weakly sourced.

Delete because there is no significant coverage in secondary sources. There is one brief mention (one sentence) in an article in the Atlantic Monthly. All the rest is blogs and internal sources directly related to Michel Potay. Fails WP:BIO. --Bejnar (talk) 04:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge this and Revelation of Arès to Pilgrims of Arès which is probably notable as a new religious movement. While there is no indication that Potay is notable enough for his own article, he is a likely search term and should redirect to his movement.  Eluchil404 (talk) 05:30, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep (but i'm biased). While i agree that the article currently offers little, i predict that, with time, if removed, the page will end up re-done anyway, and will grow. Currently only two links to it: theophany and prophet, but two biggies IMO. The topic is of rather great importance, wouldn't you agree? Hopefully one of these days i'll take the time to get to it properly. I propose to just leave it there and give it some time. --Jerome Potts (talk) 07:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, this article has had time. It was created 17 November 2005. --Bejnar (talk) 04:48, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Unless a reliable source other than that one sentence in the Atlantic Monthly can be provided. Jim Heaphy (talk) 04:51, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge this article, Revelation of Arès and Pilgrims of Arès under one title. There is some book coverage of Potay, for example and, but there's no reason why we should split our coverage of this general topic over three articles with pretty much the same content. In technical terms I suppose I mean that this should be closed as a keep and a merge discussion started to decide which title would be best for a combined article.
