Do not misquote it actually says"While the Pentateuch represents Moses as the greatest of all prophets, to whom the Lord made Himself known face to face (Deut. xxxiv. 10; comp. Num. xii. 7), and who, when descending Mount Sinai, had a halo about his head which so filled the people with awe that they could not look at him (Ex. xxxiv. 29), yet there is no attempt made to lift him above the ordinary man in his nature. He lived for forty days and forty nights on the mount without eating and drinking (Deut. ix. 9), but this was owing to the power God lent him while he received the Law; he died and was buried like any other mortal (ib. xxxiv. 5-6). Owing to the contact of the Jews with the Greeks in Alexandria, Moses was made the subject of many legends, and in many respects lifted to supernatural heights." ....

Scientologycruft and possible POV fork, as some of this material originally came from the Scientology article (where it was already in dispute). This article takes Scientology, props it up and makes it stand there as we go through a seemingly random list of religions, one at a time, and basically does little more than state that each of them have said negative things about Scientology at one time or another. (Well, duh.) I could do the same thing with, say, Woody Allen and other actors, or Britney Spears and other pop stars.

comment: I wanted to summarize it in the Scientology article because the article itself was too long. I didn't disput the content of the section. It was a consensus there to move the content into a new article to reduce the size of the Scientology article. This article is mainly criticle because it is from the section "Controversy and Critism".

This individual is stated to have been featured on a number of Christian broadcasts, but there is no reference for that, and in any case "featured" is a weasel word meaning he appeared; he does not appear to be a regular contributor. There are a numb er of mentions on the Internet about him (as there are for any conservative Christian speaker, they have a sort of cottage industry in interviewing each other) but there's nothing that looks like an independent biography, and this article looks like a puff piece, which is unsurprising given its provenance. It was created by User:Jason Gastrich as part of his campaign to boost Louisiana Baptist University, and there is not much interest from anybody else - all substantive edits are by Gastrich or those patrolling his edits, everything else is maintenance.

Guy makes an excellent point when he writes, "there are a number of mentions on the Internet...they have a sort of cottage industry in interviewing each other."

This is a textbook case to assist exclusionists who are unfamiliar with an area of knowledge. Men and women who read Modern American poetry certainly know the story of Godine. Yes, the article is poorly written, but the man is highly notable. Did the exclusionist who tagged it for deletion visit his official website and see how this man is carrying a great number of American master poets on his catalog. Strong keep.

SUBJECT: Wikipedia article for David R. Godine on Wikipedia threatened with deletion
Hi
I was reading a Garrison Keillor daily Writer's Almanac, and the poet was published by David Godine.
http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/programs/2007/08/13/index.html#wednesday
Well, I wanted to know who that was, and I turned to the Wikipedia. Alas, there was an article on the Wikipedia, but it is nominated for deletion due to lack of notability. There is a group of vigilante editors known as exclusionists who flag anything about which they know little.
Anyways, I wanted to report this to your publishing house, hoping that you have resources to fill out the biography, maybe with an official biography of the man?

The last afd over five months ago finished with no consensus. In that period, no more than ten edits have been made to justify this article. Besides the point of the article being unclear and the title generic (what exactly is a Turkish settlement?), the content that is here can be found in Cyprus dispute, Cypriot refugee, Turkish Invasion of Cyprus and Civilian casualties and displacements during the Cyprus conflict. I'd urge editors to view some of the comments made in the previous nomination to further understand the failures here A.Garnet 13:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC) reply

tag on the key phrase in the lead, "new Turkish settlements have been formed in the

The result was no consensus. Although the keep recommendations are in the majority, some have weaker (or nonexistent) rationales. The argument that this is original research is compelling, but it has been argued that this topic is indeed verifiable and notable, and possibility of finding sources seems at least plausible. However, the article is clearly unacceptable in its current state, and, if not improved, could be renominated for deletion in a few months or so. — TKD:: Talk 06:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC) reply
Total original research, from premise to execution. Takes a contrived term ("Planet killer") and then sets about thinking up all the times that a planet has ever been destroyed in the entire history of speculative fiction. wikipediatrix 01:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC) reply
--::Type in "planet killer" (with speech marks) in normal Google and you'll get 25,600 results. Browsing through just the first few pages of results I'm seeing stuff on Star Trek, Babylon 5 and Star Wars, and I know for a fact that the phrase is used in the computer game Supreme Commander as well - characters say something along the lines of "The UEF are constructing a planet killer, they are calling it Black Sun." So the term planet killer does seem a well-known and widely used term for devices that destroy planets. The term "superweapon" is sometimes used, but that's more associated with powerful attacks in computer games like nuclear missiles or death rays from space, and so superweapon basically just means "weapon of mass destruction". But Planet Killer, on the other hand, means exactly what it says - it kills a whole planet. Since planet killers (both the concept and the actual name) appear in a number of different examples of science fiction, it seems notable enough to me. -- 14:22, 28 August 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.232.223 ( talk)

This is actually a quite well written essay.
As a Wikiedia article I consider it to be fatally flawed.
Firstly, it's marred by the section on criteria for inclusion Besides being full of self-references such as "This article was created in June 2006 and since then a number of guidelines for inclusion have evolved in the discussion pages", the crtieria described ignore verifiability.
Secondly, which is related to the above, it's full of original research. That's because it's an essay. Essay writers rightly feel free to create whole ad hoc categories for the purpose of organising the ideas presented, an so this essay creates categories such as "Robotic psychopathic characters and psychopathic artificial intelligence", "Extraterrestrial and god-like psychopathic characters", "Lesbian vampires" and the like, which are innovative but not verifiably psychopathic in any concrete sense.
It was previously listed for deletion in April, and kept: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fictional portrayals of psychopaths. Since then it has been renamed.
I think this is a pretty good essay, and should be considered for transwiki to WikiBooks. -- Tony Sidaway 00:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC) reply
Addendum: I think we should also consider what to do to the article that User:Mangled Nervous System, the principal editor, forked off from it in July: Fictional portrayals of psychopaths in literature.

Comment Most of the article (except the background section) could be salvaged, as long as the peacock terms are removed and the acts are rightly attributed to the extremist organizations and the far right hungarian leadership, and not to the hungarian nation. It has the same references and reference style as the article about Ip, but i don't see anybody deleting that. Also, in my opinion, the article about Anti-Romanian discrimination is in a much worser state (if you exclude the background section, of course), but its Afd brought no result. Probably the Romanian and Hungarian users here should work together to create a common article about the excesses of the Hungarian and Romanian regimes in WW2 Transylvania.

There are 3 statements, 2 of which are from surviving victims, and the 3rd from a legal medicine doctor, at the bottom of the newspaper article I mentioned above. The article is in Romanian, as are the statements of the victims. I translated the 3 statements here for you to read - in the victim's own words - not the words of an editor or author or whatever other biased person:
1. "About 2 am I saw how the Jews were taken to the side of the hill with the lamplight. I heard much noise and cries among the Jews. About half an hour after the Jews arrived up there, I heard machine gun shots. I was scared and hid my wife and children and hid in the corn fields about 200 meters from the place where they were shooting. It was night and I could not see anything, but I heard the cries and screams of the victims. A cry of a young man could be heard more than the others. After this one stopped too, the gun shots stopped also." Statement by Ioan Moceanu, Camarasu village, Cluj province, Romania, who was one of the witnesses to give a statement for the investigation.
2. "...everything we lived through, seen, felt and heard in those four years of orgy can not compare to what we've seen at Sarmasu village. I touched the 126 lifeless bodies... I saw children of 5, 3 and 1 years of age, untouched by bullets, who have been thrown into the mass grave and buried alive. I saw husband and wife hugging each other in their last hug, and I saw a father holding his 1 year old child in his arms..." Statement by dr Matatias Carp, president of Federation of Unions of Jewish Communities in Romania, official delegate as member of the investigation committee for the massacre of Sarmasu village and for the unearthing of the victims.
3. "The first layer of lifeless bodies was almost entirely only children. There were some very little ones, maybe 2 or 3 years old. The oldest were no more than 15 years old. For some it was possible to see where the bullets that killed them entered their bodies, for others their tissues were crushed (probably with the gun - newspaper editor's note) and for one of them both legs were crushed. But there were children for whom, even looking with much care, no exterior sign of what caused the death could be found. So it is thought that these were buried alive..." Statement by dr Emil Mora, legal medicine doctor, who participated at the unearthing of the victims.
