Verducianism[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fictional religion supposedly appearing on a television show, presumably on one or two episodes. I originally prodded (prod was removed one hour after it was placed) because of a complete lack of reliable sources; with so few sources, I seriously doubt that this is a likely redirect target.

Redirect to series show or, if it exists, episode article. --EEMIV (talk) 14:49, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Nyttend (talk) 15:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a plausible search term. --EEMIV (talk) 23:55, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Provisional Delete. I don't see any sourcing that merits inclusion in the shows article. If between now and close someone finds something some variation of redirect or merge might work, but if not delete.--Cube lurker (talk) 15:47, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the TV show's main article, on the basis that this term might be searched and it would be helpful to do a simple redirect rather than have no information available at all. Lithorien (talk) 16:35, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and absolutely no redirect. It was a joke as part of (surprise) last Thursday's episode of 30 Rock. Some of the shows writers were telling a gullible co-worker that they couldn't participate in the Secret Santa gift-giving, and they said that it was "verducianism". I don't see it as a search term for Wikipedia. If people want to look up the word, there's this thing called "Google" that will direct them to a 30 Rock website.

Delete Wikipedia is not for things that were made up one day. It doesn't matter that this was made up in a fictional universe. The religion has no actual practioners and doesn't extend past the single episode it appeared it. A redirect would give it undue weight. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:39, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
