Spiritist doctrine

Far too much completely unsourced information for more than five years. It seems we can't write an article on the topic. We shouldn't keep this much original research online. damiens.rf 16:37, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge - Looking at the related articles at the same time period that this one was created, it's not clear to me that this is necessarily original research; inline referencing wasn't being used in those articles at that point and it may have simply been written by someone with a poor understanding of the citation issues involved. Plus, in a talk page comment the original author says something about copying content from the other articles.  So, since it isn't asserted to be a copyvio or anything like that, I don't think that this material should disappear beyond the reach of normal users.  It should at least be put in the talk page of one of the other articles, or added to the article body even if it must be immediately edited out as unsourced, so that it's at least accessible in the article history. --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 04:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Spiritism with much briefer text. Put the author's works in a semiproper cite at the end of the merged and trimmed text. JJB 05:27, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
