Society of Biblical Literature

"Personal essay" would be euphemistic. SWAdair | Talk 09:04, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Delete, one of the best efforts at making a truly bad page I've seen. Probably violates ever criteria in the book! Shane King 12:57, Nov 2, 2004 (UTC)
Original essay bordering on patent nonsense. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 15:49, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete, but preserve on BJAODN - this is one of the funniest things I've ever read (either the author is totally insane, or it's an insanely clever ad for peoplemeet.com) -- Ferkelparade π 19:11, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Delete. What the hell? Gamaliel 02:04, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete User ought to be put on moderation and/or banned for it as well--Josiah 02:36, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete, Speedy if possible. Inky 03:17, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete, original research. And I agree with Mike Rosoft that it borders on patent nonsense. Isn't there a way we can do what needs to be done without mocking the author? My (completely subjective) perception is that the author is a well-meaning, sincere individual who is trying to communicate something of importance to himself. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for sharing unorthodox personal visions, however. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 03:33, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete: You can be full of wikilove, but I want to show this guy's article to every proponent of the 2nd Amendment in the US. Geogre 04:44, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete. I started reading it, but it ended up being a slab of text. Funny, while it was at it. - Vague Rant 06:07, Nov 3, 2004 (UTC)
Delete. This is amazing, please move to "Well-Intended Essays and Other Deleted Nonsense" Ashibaka ✎ 20:22, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Delete: personal essay / seizure inducing. -- WOT 22:38, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Wow. When I first saw this, I assumed it was vandalism and checked the history. But no such luck. --L33tminion | (talk) 20:34, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
