[edit] Goat on a Pole

Goat on a Pole (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested speedy and prod, for reasons that completely befuddle me. Non-notable "religion," more likely a hoax or just pure and utter bollocks. It's supposed to be a religion that worships a goat on a pole. No, I'm not joking. Someone actually devotes a web site to this, which means web hosting prices have gotten to be a bit too low.

  • Delete - I agree with the nominator. Doesn't come close to WP:ORG but admirably matches WP:BOLLOCKS. 139 gHits mostly from blogs self-referencing.--WebHamster 08:06, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep or BJAODN. Correction: 2830 gHits [1] --Candy-Panda 09:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Not if you do a search on "Goatonapolists" as referred to in the article. It's a more specific search term than "goat" and "pole".--WebHamster 09:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This article smells like a hoax made up in school one day. Although the article seems to refer to it as a parody religion, there is no assertion that it is a notable parody. —gorgan_almighty 10:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:WEB. Wikipedia is not for things made up in a zine one day. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Per nom. This is utter nonsense. The references consist of a homepage, MySpace, the users Wiki Page and a user driven site similar to metafilter. Helmsb 13:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Funny. Utter bollocks. Delete -- Roleplayer 20:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete It may seem odd to have an article on Flying Spaghetti Monster and delete this, but this article contains no reliable sources. --Pixelface 21:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
