Took the soup

Dicdef. Tagged as A1 but I think there's enough context. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, the proper name of the subject, for which a quick Google Books search will garner you copious sources, is souperism. Naming the article on this subject using an associated phrase which isn't even a noun, is rather bizarre.  Someone hasn't read our Naming conventions.  I suggest that you speedily rename the article, tag it for a rewrite, and add some citations as further reading.  Start with these two:
 * The latter has an extensive bibliography of its own, with yet more sources to look at. The practitioners, reviled by the Catholics, were called soupers, so you'll need a redirect, too. Yes, it's ironic that souper, which actually contained a reasonable, although slightly confused on one point, start to such an article, got deleted for being a "personal attack", even though it explicitly mentioned the historical context.

 * Keep or Merge Subject is notable, with many reliable sources (see Google book search), but I'm wondering if it should be merged into the article on the great Irish famine. Jeremiah (talk) 19:39, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Anything but delete. If it's not notable enough to stand on its own, merge to Great Famine (Ireland).-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:43, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. And clean-up per wp:afd - if an article can be cleaned up through regular editing it is not a good candidate for deletion. Took the soup has a few books hits, Soupers has several thousand - I'm sure some could be ghits for other items but certainly not all; and Souperism gets over 400 hits. -- Banj e  b oi   00:58, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
