I feel this was incorrectly tagged as a speedy. Is this an ad? Is it notable enough for an article? No vote from me. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 20:25, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)

Keep I created the article. This article is very early in the making but I will improve it. I certainly didn't post it to be an "advertisment" for the Odinic Rite but because they certainly should be recognised on this Wikipedia Encyclopedia for their achievements in the Asatru / Odinism community worldwide. It is undisputed that they are the longest running Odinist organisation in the world and have influenced the other two major groups - the Asatru Folk Assemnbly and the Asatru Alliance. They were even in the forefront and prevented a sacred heathen stone here in England from being destroyed by a telecommunicatrions pole. I ask you to reconsider this article and to keep it up. There will be NO requests to join this organisation but will be a recognition on this excellent encyclopedia. I am organising to get "real" historical information for this article so please bear with me so I can make it a "true" article. Many thanks, Fjorn.
Keep. It is a reasonably well-known organisation and the article doesn't seem to make any untrue claims. Could do with a bit of clean-up though. Dbiv 21:09, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep I see no cause to delete. Wolfman 21:28, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep The Odinic Rite is a valid org with legal status in UK, Australia and various US states. I say give the submitter a chance to reword it but that the OR should definitely have a listing.

Keep, I don't see what is wrong with the article.--Wiglaf 12:42, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
keep (of course), verify and wikify. [[User:Dbachmann|dab (T) ]] 14:03, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep This is what Wiki is for. Improve and wikify. Wyss 20:21, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep Keep, but needs some expansion. The OR is a legitimate religious organisation and is worth an entry Pinlighter 16:10, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Many thanks to you all for this, it is looking like a great vote. Believe me, the article is now better than when it first appeared, of which I appreciate the help that was given. In relation to now still expanding it, well, I am pulling some real statistical data to make this a real educational document - hopefully to contribute to the standard of Wikipedia. Many thanks, Fjorn.
Keep, notable enough for an article. [[User:GRider|GRider\^talk]] 17:54, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep ¨- I've heard about them before outside Wikipedia so they are at least notable. // Liftarn 07:54, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Keep, It does need work, but the organisation is large enough to warrant an entry in the Wikipedia. "'Keep'" -Loki's Advocate.
- I have moved the entry above to where it is as it was posted at the top of the screen to keep the same convention. Hope this was ok, Fjorn.
Merge and Redirect. A real organization that should be mentioned in the Wikipedia. However, it currently largely duplicates information in the Asatru/Ordinism article, which already mentions it. --BM 19:48, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
