Major problems with WP:BLP and WP:OR: no references or citations is the primary problem. A user on the Talk page admits that the entire article was constructed from personal knowledge and therefore cannot be properly referenced and cited. Google search turns up some passing references to his existence, but nothing like the detail contained in the article. Might not even be notable enough to justify an article. This is somewhat confirmed by the limited number of links to the article from other articles and the nature of those links. SESmith 21:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- speedy delete - as you noted, SESmith, there have been major disputes between the article creator (a spamming purpose account) and other editors. A bio warning, for example, was removed just recently by the original author. Earlier versions of the article did have a few references; I guess if editors want to inform themselves before voting, they'd do well to check out those old versions. But for me, this article violates WP:LIVING, WP:OR, WP:RS, WP:V and just about everything else the lawyers would care about. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 14:39, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per all of the above, and that Wikipedia is not a tract table for fring religions. Bearian 19:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
