Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samael Aun Weor

Samael Aun Weor was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to keep the article.

Appears to be original research. Jayjg 02:03, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Page also seems to have POV and copyright problems. Every section begins and ends "(Edited with permission of Thelema Press © 2004)". If they need to have such blatent attribution, I would imagine that their contribution is not in harmony with the GFDL. Delete unless radically rewritten. Cool Hand Luke 03:18, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Ghastly. The Perfect Matrimony was created as well (a book by Aun Weor). I have sent that for cleanup, but it may merit deletion with its author. JFW | T@lk 03:22, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Keep but turn into something resembling a biography. He was a real person, of minor notability (c. 10k Google hits, and I've turned a few offline references to him), but this page is hideous. The neo-Gnostic arglebargle seems to be his, not original research. —No-One Jones ^(m) 03:50, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hmm... needs to be rewritten, but the person definitely exists. Not beyond repair, Keep Ambush Commander 04:51, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)
- I've rewritten it as a basic stub. There's not much biographical material available online, unfortunately, but I'll see what I can turn up. —No-One Jones ^(m) 05:03, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Mirv has done a good re-write, the reasons for deleting it no longer exist (in my opinion). Jayjg 05:35, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- However, International Gnostic Movement is much of the same. Should it be listed for deletion? Jayjg 06:29, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  - Unless it is fixed, yes. —No-One Jones ^(m) 09:35, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Keep - editing has done the job. Niceguyjoey 16:23, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)
Keep new version - SimonP 05:21, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
Delete the old history but keep the new content. Should have been copyvioed and then rewritten. Mozzerati 22:03, 2004 Nov 11 (UTC)
Keep new version. I don't see anything wrong with it. •→Iñgólemo ←• 21:46, 2004 Nov 12 (UTC)
