MOOism[edit]
Joke. Could be sent to our special section for jokes, but definitely not encyclopedic. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:54, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. This was tagged as speedy, but it doesn't meet the criteria. Although I moved it to VfD, I'm nevertheless voting keep since it fits in Category:Joke religions along with Church of the Subgenius and others, and seems to be marginally sufficiently notable. -- Curps 07:55, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Silly, but notable. As mentioned on the talk page, MOOism is documented in Christopher Partidge's New Religions, and Google hits over 1000 pages for "MOOism". GTBacchus 03:28, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Reasoning: Joseph Campbell said that there is only one story and each generation dresses it up in different clothes. (I'm paraphrasing baldly here but check Hero With A Thousand Faces and Power of Myth before disagreeing with me please) This is merely an example of exactly that process and as such is significant and worthy of documentation. Helped my research at least. envygreen 2.24.05 8:05p.m.
- Keep. Has been around since at least 1991 and is well known among internet subcultures. —Brim 14:30, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
