Dake-bonoism

Nonsense. "fundagelical"? There are 106 Google hits, but they all seem like some sort of hoax. RickK 06:39, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

Dake-Bonoism is real. Though the articles original author included some misleading information, or at the very least incomplete information. I intend to edit the original article within the next few days. If you give me the opportunity to clarify some items I think you will reconsider your position --Bezbaq 07:10, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• I highly doubt it. RickK 07:16, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, possible hoax. Megan1967 07:43, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Heavy revision required. Dake-Bonoism is an internet in-joke[1], made to spoof fundamentalism. This article is being used to propagate said joke/hoax. Article should be revised to indicate the "religion" as such a hoax, or alternatively, deleted if it turns out the whole thing isn't wide-spread enough to warrant wikification. --Asriel86 18:12, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Heavy Revision Required as I mentioned before there are some inaccuracies in the present article. The original author has left out some critical information regarding the origin and development of Dake-bonoism. There are a number of theories with regard to how the idea came about but it is not an "internet spoof religion" per-se. At least not in it's original form. It did in fact originate in the 1980's before the internet became the one ubiquitous presence it is today. I did not author the original document, though did offer some revision on the commentary page. Dake-Bonoism has developed into a "pseudo-religion" of sorts, especially as the term has spread over the internet. Nonetheless the concept of Dake-bonoism is grounded in real historic events.--Bezbaq 18:31, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but expand. I've known about this group for some years, and its existence does indeed predate the popularity of the Internet. --A.S. Damick 19:25, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Internet in-joke with 106 google hits? Strong delete as invalid meme. Radiant_* 07:29, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable based on number of google hits. Thue | talk 12:29, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. I do not think this article is in need of the heavy revision some apparently desire. This article isn’t so much inaccurate as it is incomplete. Keep the article, but revise and expand as necessary. As I have already noted in the Dake-Bonoism discussion page, the article places an overemphasis on organized Dake-Bonoist groups (some of which are now defunct). The historic-critical approach of the current article doesn’t really do the subject justice. Taking into consideration the way Dake-Bonoism has evolved in common usage over the past few decades, I think a more phenomenological treatment would be appropriate. The current information could be included for historical reference while elaboration is provided with regard to Dake-Bonoism in contemporary usage and understanding.--Stevejohnsenson 18:47, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
