Shoggoth
The article reads like a bad advertisement, and frankly, the NPOV policy of wikipedia must be carried out. --Iconoclast 06:59, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * keep and cleanup. Iconoclast, what are you trying to prove? -leigh (&#966;&#952;&#8057;&#947;&#947;&#959;&#962;) 07:51, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep shoggoth. Delete troll. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 10:04, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Short be perfectly acceptable. Mgm|(talk) 10:19, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Cthulhu fhtagn. Notable, and I don't see any NPOV problems. I'm not one to throw around accusations of trolling but... Khanartist  10:54, 2005 Jan 17 (UTC)
 * Keep point one: I'm not seeing the NPOV here, could you be more specific? Point two: NPOV by itself is not reason for deletion, it's reason for cleanup. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  12:44, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable.Baxter0 17:44, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Bad faith VfD nomination. Iconoclast is vandalising Wikipedia to make a point, or maybe simply as a prank.  See Votes_for_deletion/American_Nihilist_Underground_Society. Uncle G 21:56, 2005 Jan 17 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. The article needs some sprucing up, but I think its noteworthy enough to be on wiki. ScottM 23:28, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 00:37, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete, this is in no way a notable entry and should be removed. BlackCountess 06:10, 18 Jan 2005
 * The above by anon 205.241.44.90. It was, predictably, its first edit. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 05:38, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC) (BlackCountess had none at the time of writing. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 08:21, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC))
 * It should also be pointed out that notability or lack thereof is not a criterion for speedy deletion. Kappa 11:08, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep; we have them in the woods around my house. -- Smerdis of Tlön 20:31, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Any chance of a snapshot? That would round the article out nicely. Kappa 00:20, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Curps 22:50, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
