Horus Temple

Self-promotion, possible conflict of interest Justin Eiler 03:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• Additional Comment The article reads like a press release, providing little more than a shill for rhe temple and information (regarding the history of the Horus Temple) that is largely redundant to other articles. It should also be noted that the company is a for profit company, according to their website: this seems to be a violation of WP:SPAM Justin Eiler 03:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• [Google Test] turns up only 156 hits, and many seem to have nothing to do with this article. I question notability. --Kathryn NicDhàna 06:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Harvest the references for articles on the Golden Dawn and delete:
  • This is an ad, and a violation of WP:SPAM.
  • There is little in here that isn't already covered in the articles on the Golden Dawn.
  • This is wildly POV with little hope of cleanup that doesn't remove what little non-redundant content there is.
  • No assertion of notability.
• Nuke it from orbit; it's the only way to be sure. Alba 13:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - violates the spam policy: the article promotes Horus Temple ev; also written in poor format (e.g. all headings written in capitals). --Anthonycfc ^{(talk • c • ama)} Wednesday, 25/Oct/2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep after cleanup. Yes, parts of this do read like advertising. On the other hand, it does seem to offer references to verify its claims. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its offshoots played a fairly pivotal role in occultism in the English speaking world, and the apparently successful transplant of a variant on this important tradition in New Zealand strikes me as fairly noteworthy. - Smerdis of Tlön 17:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Definite Change to stub I looked at the web site, there has been one seminar for four days, their Yahoo newsgroup had only two postings last month (which may not reflect membership). The article fails to tell me anything I want to know about the group and everything I don't. Wipe the contents, leave a message saying "you've got to prove this is a worthwhile article" and delete in a few weeks if it does not improve! It needs to say where, when, why, what it is related to, etc. --Mike 11:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I'm voting again because I'm in two minds - the lack of any proof of membership or notoriety probably makes it impossible to create any article under the name --Mike 11:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Only way to be sure. --Kathryn NicDhàna 05:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or follow Mike's first advice. I respect Smedis' opinion but I believe we should keep two issues separate: I agree we should keep the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn article but this here is an entirely different matter. It is inherently promotional, borderline incoherent and as Mike put it gives all the information we don't want. Also, as far as I can tell from the wildly obfuscated narrative the temple was founded fairly recently and three out of those five references probably predate it. One of the remaining two is co-authored by Pat Zalewki so it's got to be discounted as unreliable. All in all, I'd say the references are of very very dubious quality and I consider most of the current content unverified and possibly unverifiable. Pascal.Tesson 01:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
