The result was Keep. "Our chief weapon is surprise, fear and surprise; two chief weapons, fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency! Er, among our chief weapons are: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and near fanatical devotion to the Pope! Um, I'll come in again..." Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:49, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Our chief weapons of fear, surprise, a fanatical devotion to the pope...will be less valuable with an article. If there's a Wikipedia page, anyone can read about and expect the Spanish Inquisition! Origamite^ⓣⓒ 03:19, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Equally, nobody expects the deletion of the Spanish Inquisition. St★lwart¹¹¹ 03:24, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I did find one source on the website howstuffworks. I'm confident that a careful search would turn up another source or two. --I am One of Many (talk) 05:05, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found this obscure source. I now think WP:GNG has been established.--I am One of Many (talk) 05:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
