This whole article is all about a fictional religious group - except for the part that's probably original research D O N D E groovily Talk to me 04:52, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Although it was originally coined in the context of a fictional religious group, it has quite a bit of wider currency. There's quite a bit of dreck to wade through, but a Google Scholar search is productive. Article needs rewritten, not deleted. I've already gotten myself backlogged on cleanup requests, but I'll try to sneak some in here, too. 153.2.247.30 (talk) 16:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep one of the now-classic concepts invented in an extremely notable novel. DGG ( talk ) 01:56, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per DGG. Started in a novel, expanded from there to have its own independent notability. Jclemens (talk) 15:32, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. A quick skim through the Google Books and Scholar results linked in the nomination show clear notability. I would advise the nominator to check the spoon-fed searches before saving AfD nominations. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
