Swedenborg Rite

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

nn, contested prod, after which only "Further Reading" was added to the article. This is a Masonic Rite whose prevalence when it was extant is unknown, and which has been attributed to someone who had nothing to do with it. Therefore, we don't know with any certainty from sources the basic who, what, where, or why of it. By its own admission it was small, and still is, assuming that it is still worked (no actual Lodge that uses it is named). Therefore notability cannot be established.

 * Keep Significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Verifiablity is key, not truth. Solve for NPOV by attributing statements to speakers. Hipocrite (talk) 23:40, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Size doesn't matter. The fact that books have been published about it does. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Week Keep - Given what the sources say, I think the Swedenborg Rite had more to do with the history of the modern Thelemic and Rosecruxian bodies than it did with Freemasonry (it seems that it was never accepted as a Masonic body)... but that is a matter of editing the article to more accurately reflect the sources, not a criteria for deletion. The fact that there are a few independant sources on the subject tells me that it has at least minimal notability. Blueboar (talk) 19:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
