Tatuism
Neologism, seems to be only used in the comersial site www.tatuism.com abakharev 05:28, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

The URL www.tatuism.com is not connected to the Tatuism movment. this domain is not in the control of the people who gave birth to this idea. It was said earlier "people are still trying to convert people to their "religion" with flyers and the like." this is not the case. Tatuism is not a religeon yet. Yes our message is being spread but we do not force ourselve upon anyone, we let you decide if you suport the idea. With this said, I think it shouldn't be deleted.
 * Seems to be a propaganda. May be it should be cleaned up. Brandmeister 09:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bullsh*tism at its best. KNewman 11:00, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete I think it is an excellent idea which many people have already embraced.--Mark 11:07, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The article describes a purported religion based upon adulation of T.A.T.u.. The web site mentioned is currently inaccessible, and there is no evidence independent of it that such a religion exists or has been accepted as such by the world at large.  The article cites no sources, of course.  Both unverifiable and original research. Delete. Uncle G 11:19, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This link shows people are still trying to convert people to their "religion" with flyers and the like. As an official religion this is original research at best. Also, Wikipedia is not an FAQ. - Mgm|(talk) 12:21, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per KNewman, as I couldn't have put it better myself Keresaspa 14:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as said by KNewman Cool3 23:47, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete - I reckon its cool. You shouldn't delete it. --220.237.100.52 10:42, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete- Excuse me! there is no evidence that the world has accepted this religion at large!?! Just look at the number of members of www.tatu.ru or the ticket sales for t.A.T.u's concerts!!!
 * Delete- The debate isn't about the merits or lack thereof of this self-described religion, but its notability and merit as a Wikipedia page. Aside from references to www.tatuism.com, the only Google results I get for a "tatuism" search are references to tatuism.com and these two pages, which have the text of this Wikipedia page almost verbatim.  This a clearly a joke from some forum.  Send to BJAODN if you want. —Josiah Rowe 23:37, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete-They just bought the domain tatuism.com so they're really serious about this. Give it time, Google doesn't pick up links that fast.

Ok all very valid points, but i dont think it should be deleted, Wikipedia is supposed to be a place you can find information on everything, even the obscure. Yes intitally this was just a bit of fun, but to my supprise poeple are taking it to heart. I think it should have its page, and not be deleted simply down to the fact google only comes back with a few references. After all whole thing is just over a week old. and was released to the world via a post on the tatu.ru fourm on the 12th of October 2005. Give it time.


 * Don't delete...give the idea a chance...as was said before...it's not a religion forced on you...if u like it take it...if you don't then flip the page and walk away...if it's not going to reach the world via wikipedia then i assure you it will find it's way to the world somehow...not only will it have a place here but also it'll earn it...so i say DON'T DELETE
