[edit] Calvinist Theological Seminary

This seminary does not exist. The original content was derived from a satyrical article on the internet. Mkmcconn (Talk) 7 July 2005 18:26 (UTC)

• Comment. What do you make of this and this? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 7 July 2005 18:50 (UTC)

  I agree with Doc (below) that the two links are from satisfactory, though neither simply uses the words "calvinist theological seminary" — both of them refer to what seems to be a specific institution with that name (unlike the other two Googled links, which I ignored for that reason). I'm voting for delete, though. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 7 July 2005 20:15 (UTC)

  • Comment One sentence in the first article reads: "The Calvinist theological seminary was the first institutionally separate graduate school in the United States:", the article then lists several calvinistic theological seminaries. That is, this kind of graduate school was the first institutionally separate graduate school to exist in the US. That leaves one link. Mkmcconn (Talk) 7 July 2005 20:49 (UTC)
  • A phone call reached the creator of the site, who said that several students from a variety of perspectives at a well-known seminary created this parody site, and Calvinist Church, USA to encourage discussion of Calvinism.
  • The first of your links simply has the words "calvinist theological seminary" occuring somewhere in the text. The other page lists "Calvinist Theological Seminary" among the credentials of the staff person. If there is such a school in South Africa, I do not know. There's a possibility, however remote, that these credentials are bogus. Mkmcconn (Talk) 7 July 2005 18:53 (UTC)
  • There is a seminary in Kempen, which is calvinistic. Thus, an article on the internet refers to the "Calvinist theological seminary in Kempen", but that is not the name of the seminary. It is a description of it.. Mkmcconn (Talk) 7 July 2005 19:21 (UTC)

• Four googles for 'Calvinist Theological Seminary' - two speak of 'a' Calvanist Seminary and thus can be ignored - the other two are those cited by Mel and are dubious. This tells me that this seminary is probably unverifiable and certainly not notable - delete unless both can be established --Doc (?) 7 July 2005 20:04 (UTC)

• Redirect as a likely search variant of Calvin Theological Seminary. Do not merge. None of the material referring to this fictional school is relevant to the real one, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mkmcconn (Talk) 7 July 2005 20:15 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax unless the place in South Africa can be verified and someone wants to write an article about it. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 8 July 2005 06:15 (UTC)
• Delete hoax. JamesBurns 9 July 2005 02:57 (UTC)
• Delete Let's try to maintain some level of integrity, at least in the Christian related sections of Wikipedia. Jim Ellis 02:29, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
