Night of Pan
non-notable concept of a fringe religion 999 05:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per my nom. 999 05:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete There should be a section for "religioncruft". Danny Lilithborne 06:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: topic is both notable and Thelema is a recognized religion with tens of thousands of adherents. Ashami 06:29, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this is a religion that is not notable :: Colin Keigher 06:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.
 * Keep This is a useful article. 'Per my norm' is inadequate reason to delete anything. Thelema is most certainly a notable religion. Daimonos 10am GMT April 17. This new user's only edits are to Thelema-related AfDs. -999 15:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Thelema, too many quote filled stubs in this semi walled garden. -- E ivindt@c 13:12, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: Non-notable? Fringe? Hogwash! Somecallmetim 13:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Fringe, maybe, but a notable fringe religion, and a notable concept within that religion. Fan1967 13:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge to Thelema. The religion is significant enough to be encyclopedic, while the concepts within it may not be notable enough to merit separate articles and should be included in the main article, if at all. Ekajati 14:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Thelema. --Ter e nce Ong 15:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Thelema per TOng. KillerChihuahua?!? 20:51, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep no good reason for deletion given. For great justice. 00:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge per above. Fishhead64 02:07, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I think Thelema is pretty long already. What's wrong with creating a new article about an obscure concept of a notable philosophy?  This article does not fit with the usual reasons given for deletion: it's not a dicdef, it's not original research, it's not POV, and it is verifiable.  So the question is whether it's notable.  I'm guessing it's notable to thelemites.  We are talking about a religion, not a TV show, so it is encyclopedic.  --Joelmills 02:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, avoid merging, and expand The Thelema parent article is already pushing the boundaries of useful size, and this is another topic not adequately covered by the existing text. For similar odd once-stubbish articles about minor beliefs in fringe religions, see Kolob, or Xenu (the latter article eventually became a front page FA). Ronabop 05:35, 20 April 2006
 * Keep or merge: I have created the Thelemic mysticism article, which includes the info in this article. Although I would like to see this article remain and become expanded, it would not be unreasonable to have it redirect to the new article. Ashami 23:22, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
