I came across the article today, I am not convinced its encyclopedic. Each on of the symbols can be adequately covered in a caption in the relevant article thus this seems to be a unnecessary Content fork. . This frankly looks extremely crufty and lack half the symbols it discusses. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 04:22, 20 November 2010 (UTC) What's the verdict here?

 * Keep Seems like a valid article. The lack of actual pictures is a minor cleanup issue, and would only require another editor who cares enough to remedy; otherwise deletion is not a valid cleanup issue.  As far as covering the symbols in "the relevent article", this looks a lot like the most relevent article.  I can't find anything at fault here that needs deletion.  -- Jayron  32  04:25, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge. Article is short enough so that the table would be collapsible into the main scientology article. I wouldn't call it crufty however, as it is similar to the other many religious articles out there on WP. TheFSAviator &bull; T 04:28, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Jayron32 –BuickCenturyDriver 08:10, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
