Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts"[edit]

Verbatim reproduction of eight "commandments" of a parody "religion", allegedly based on a book that appeared this year. Generally unencyclopedic as textdump, non-notable and nonsense. The existence of these commandments is already noted at Pastafarianism. Contested PROD. Sandstein 04:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge!. I am also interested in this subject and would not have found the "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts" if it weren't for this article. NAer 21:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete. Notable parody religion I think, but FSH probably only deserves to have one or two articles. This information should only exist at the FSH article. DarthVader 08:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and Redirect to Gospel_of_the_Flying_Spaghetti_Monster This does not deserve it's own article Ydam 10:25, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and Redirect to Gospel_of_the_Flying_Spaghetti_Monster. Vizjim 10:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hilarious, but primary source and mergeable with GFSM. JFW | T@lk 14:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I can think of few short, simple writings that better advance the argument against basing a science curriculum on a religious text than the Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts"
  • Merge and redirect per above. -- stubblyhead | T/c 18:26, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge but Keep any notable religion or parody of a religion sould be kept, it isnt like wikipedia is running out of space. If it must be deleted it should at least be moved to a special article that contains all parody religions. just thoughts ZOMFG MUFFINS
  • Merge with Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and/or Pastafarianism. - CNichols 21:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article should be thickined with information from Gospel_of_the_Flying_Spaghetti_Monster, but shouldn't be merged as it is useful to have a seperate article for this topic. - Mimsyboro 16:25, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Merge It's relevant... --24.145.134.20 13:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Merge with The_Gospel_of_the_Flying_Spaghetti_Monster It's interesting and not included in The Gospel article. --Cybercobra 22:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Whether or not FSM is a parody religion is beside the point, this article documents, admittedly in a humourous way, serious efforts to combat those who seek to insinuate religion into the science curriculum of schools. Pastafarians do believe that these commandments embody their beliefs. Wikipedians should not be imposing moral judgements on the validity or otherwise of the stated belief systems of others, even if they choose to use humour in the exposition of those beliefs. Nick Thorne 22:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, else merge. Important source of beliefs for this religion. - Corbin Be excellent 01:12, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge Everyone should know about our Condiments anarchistica
  • Keep or merge Is hilarious and i would never have known about them otherwise. It's because Wickipedia has info on random things like this that it's so great.

  • Keep or merge Would also be appropriate under GFSM but should not be deleted Enigmaedge 20:14, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or mergeIt is a beautifully written piece, I personally would like to say that this article inspires me to go out into the world and do good things for people without expecting anything in return.

Keep or merge. -a wanderer
