• Keep but source and purge of laundry lists. The subject of "cult firgures" or "cult icons" is reasonable enough since many people are described as such in scholarly works [1]. It's the title of books [2]and news stories [3]. Specifically this book is about the subject [4] Tag this one for clean-up and better sources. FrozenPurpleCube 00:12, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, needs work yes, but the term is verifiable, scholarly, academic and thus certainly in my view, encyclopedic. Needs a thorough cleanup however. Jhamez84 23:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Is something having cult status hard to define? Yes. Does that mean we shouldn't have an article on it? No. Tag it with source requests where appropriate and move on. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 00:12, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
