 * Keep I checked this one out, apparently Shakti is a hindu term. The following book is cited as a reference for Shakti Wicca: Offering Flowers, Feeding Skulls: Popular Goddess Worship in West Bengal  ISBN: 0195167910.  Additionally, there is a Shakti Wicca article at the WiccanWeb Wiki.  As well the wikipedia article Hindu reform movements mentions it as well.  I know that often foreign concepts are under represented in the English wikipedia.  I would be content with reducing it to a short article, with a reference.Alan.ca 11:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Response There is nothing to indicate that the cited book, which is about Hinduism in India, mentions the Wiccan group. "Shakti Wicca" was added to the WP Hindu Reform movements article by the creator of this Shakti Wicca article, and subsequently removed by other editors.  The article at wiccanweb.ca is a copy of this Wikipedia article (see Source section: "Shakti Wicca", Wikipedia, retrieved March 24, 2006.) --Kathryn NicDhàna ♫ ♦ ♫ 02:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per the commenters above, concerned that this was built from Tripod and Yahoo newsgroup sources which are not reliable. Yamaguchi先生 03:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
