Found while patrolling [[CAT:CSD|candidates for speedy deletion]]. The given reason was: ''This is not an [[article]], it is a [[religious]] essay, and an [[absurd]] one at that''. This is not a valid speedy reason. As this is a procedural nomination, I am neutral. —— '''[[user:Eagle 101|<fontspan colorstyle="color:navy;">Eagle</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:red;">101</span>]]'''</font><sup>[[user_talk:Eagle 101|Need help?]]</sup> 06:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Speedy delete''' That may not be a valid speedy reason, but nonsense is. The whole thing sounds like an insane diatribe that invokes random theological terms and irrelevant legal principles. So tagged. [[User:Deranged bulbasaur|Deranged bulbasaur]] 07:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Speedy delete''' per the bulbasaur. [[User:David.Mestel|David Mestel]]<sup>([[User Talk:David.Mestel|Talk]])</sup> 08:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' This is not nonsense per se, but obviously original research and [[WP:NOR#SOAP|soapboxing]]. -- [[User:Lucasbfr|lucasbfr]] <sup>[[User talk:Lucasbfr|<fontsup colorstyle="color:darkblue;">talk</fontsup>]]</sup> 08:08, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' per Lucasbfr. It may ''appear'' to be nonsense, but plenty of religions have adherents whom create fallacious arguments on the spot. Nonsense means that it does not have any logical (or perhaps thematic) consistency whatsoever, and this does. Still, delete. --[[User:Edwin Herdman|Edwin Herdman]] 09:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' as soapboxing/Original research. Note the usual 'violation of free speech' nonsense on the talk page from [[User:Sfd101|Sfd101]]. [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] 10:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Unencyclopedic POV essay, to put it kindly. [[User:BTLizard|BTLizard]] 11:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Speedy delete''' per '''Deranged bulbasaur'''. [[User:JJL|JJL]] 12:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Speedy delete'''. Religious screed whose every sentence could be appended with "Yeah, says who?" [[User:W guice|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:arial"; color=":#bb0000;"><b>tomasz.</b></fontspan>]] 13:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Speedy delete''' - per [[WP:SNOW|SNOW]]; I can think of various speedy deletion categories (like no claims of notability, and, yes, nonsense [a "religious" article quoting the Sopranos?]) but I see from the edit history that these tags have been repeatedly removed. Still, there's not a chance that this article will ever be coherent or notable. I can't even think of any other content that might be headed under this title that isn't already covered in other, better, entries.

*'''WTF.''' Whatever it is, '''delete''' it before it starts to spread. I like this argument: "To delete this page is a violation of the [[Freedom of Speech]]." Great argument. [[User:Herostratus|Herostratus]] 22:13, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' immediately. Unencyclopedic. --[[User:Guinnog|Guinnog]] 22:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' as poorly written OR with little or no encyclopedic content. "Articles" like this are an embarrasment :( [[User:Doc Tropics|Doc ]] <font color ="green">[[User talk:Doc Tropics|<span style="color:green;">Tropics]]</font span>]] 22:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' as unsourced original research/POV essay. Go ahead and proclaim this on a street corner all you want, but Wikipedia is (part of) an organization that allows you to easily publish your work. You must abide by the local rules. Just like I can't go into my local mall, get up on a soapbox, start delivering a sermon, and passing out pamphlets without their permission, you can't do it here. <font color="maroon">[[User:Mr.Z-man|<span style="color:maroon;">Mr.Z-man]]</fontspan>]]'''<small>[[User talk:Mr.Z-man|talk]]</small>''<font color="navy" face="cursive">[[Special:Contributions/Mr.Z-man|<i style="color:navy; font-family:cursive;">¢]]</fonti>'']]''' 22:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I ought to remind you of the "talk" page on this entry:
To delete this page is a violation of the [[Freedom of Speech]]. Furthermore, this page might be [[religion]] to some, but it is protected under the international application of the [[Freedom]] of Religion. Conclusively, this page is a [[verification]] of a [[meditation]].
Line 45 ⟶ 51:
::This page does not meet our guidelines. If you wish to write about your religious views or experiences, there are other places to publish that sort of thing. --[[User:Dhartung|Dhartung]] | [[User talk:Dhartung|Talk]] 22:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' as essay. --[[User:Dhartung|Dhartung]] | [[User talk:Dhartung|Talk]] 22:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
*<s>'''Delete'''</s>, maybe a speedy. I can't even call this an essay, it's more something of a stream of consciousness brain dump. A meditation, maybe. But this is not the place for dumping this. I'd almost say it's patent nonsense, but I'm not entirely sure. --[[User:Dennisthe2|'''<span style="background:Orange;color:Black">Dennis The Tiger</span>''']] ([[User talk:Dennisthe2|Rawr]] and [[Special:Contributions/Dennisthe2|stuff]]) 23:19, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

* '''Speedy Delete''' for A1, supported by [[WP:OR]]. I don't believe this qualifies as [[WP:NONSENSE|nonsense]], as it appears to be a "Religious Excogitation." I'm assuming the good faith of the author, but I still think [[WP:SNOW]] applies as well. [[User:LaughingVulcan|LaughingVulcan]] 00:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' Make it go away. [[User:Elrith|Elrith]] 01:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' I can't help but wonder if this is the same guy who posted all that nonsense on [[Talk:Azrael]] about how his name really was AzReal and he was an Egyptian god. These "arguments" have the same barely coherent tone. [[User:JuJube|JuJube]] 02:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' - Whatever he's doing, the account is a single purpose account. He's created this article we're modifying and a few others that seem to have been speedied (see his [[User talk:Sfd101|talk page]] and note the bleeding links) and discussed on his talk page rather heavily with just as much rhetoric. Honestly, this person seems to take the "baffle them with bullshit" approach to editing Wikipedia, thus his rather prominent implementation of the [[WP:IAR]] link. To me, he's evidently the sort of editor who believes that IAR means that the rules are only made to be broken and you can do whatever you want to Wikipedia. Thusly, I can only assume bad faith and that this editor account is a vandal account. Upgrading to '''speedy delete''' as vandalism.
