Raëlian cosmology

Fails WP:NOTE, lack of significant secondary source coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject. The vast majority of the article is cited only to primary sources. Most of the article is cited directly to "Rael", a primary source and conflict of interest source. See also relevant prior AFDS, including Articles for deletion/Honorary Guides of the Raëlian Movement, Articles for deletion/Raëlian Embassy for Extraterrestrials, Articles for deletion/Sensual Meditation, and Articles for deletion/Raëlian Church membership estimates. -- Cirt (talk) 21:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC) -- Cirt (talk) 21:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge to the main Raëlian article. Certainly it's appropriate there.  (And why does that redirect to Raëlian beliefs and practices?) BE——Critical __Talk 22:13, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge to the main Raëlian article. Looking at the article, it doesn't cite many outside sources, so the original has a point.  However the Raëlians themselves are notable and so would their beliefs in cosmology by extension.  The material should at least be merged, but there is so much here it is likely to get broken out again, which seems to be what happened before.  I don't think this situation is actually caused by a lack of extant reliable sources so much as the fact that the article did not reference them.  So another option would be to find some; that would be necessary if the article is to be kept.  Merging will make the main article very long, which is why it is broken out like it is.

 * I am pleased that some Wikipedians still have the word "Merge" in their vocabulary :DKmarinas86 (Expert Sectioneer of Wikipedia) 19+9+14 + karma = 19+9+14 + talk = 86 15:31, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I found this article from other pages and found it very useful in studying strange new cosmologies. I think it is too good and complete and well referenced to simply merge. I was so glad to find it. --Dazedbythebell (talk) 12:36, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
