The Brotherhood

I originally speedied this as it only consisted of one paragraph of patent nonsense. The author asked me to undelete it, as he wished to redeem it or something like. I've read what I've seen and I still think it's nonsense, just more of it. Mike H 19:55, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

• Delete. Obvious nonsense and/or fantasy; author's continuing edits make it clear this article isn't heading anywhere good. —Triskaideka 20:31, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Do not delete I have not finished it yet, and it is not nonsense anyway. It is based entirely on truth. The story is indeed true, the characters are real and It is written in the 1st person by Duke Leto Atreides.
  • So you're saying that it is a story that you are writing? Fiction with historical characters? That's nice, but Wikipedia is not the place for it. I suggest you check out Geocities or some such place that offers free web hosting. Anyway, please make a local copy of your work in progress this time. —Stormie 21:18, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
• delete That it's written in the first person is only one of its problems. --Christofurio 21:13, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, even if it is true it is original research. —Stormie 21:18, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)*It's not even as funny as it could be. Make it funnier before we delete it.--Tomheaton 21:23, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep It's hilarious that it mentions Cosmo Kramer, a fictious character, as part of this brotherhood. Nice work. Just make it even funnier. THE INTERNET OVERLORD

• User has 5 edits, 2 of them to VFD. Gamaliel 22:52, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• Another secret they are apparently keeping (and keeping well) from the public is the answer to the question: "Why should we care?" Delete. While it definitely is an inane attempt at comedy, it definitely isn't encyclopaedic. Fire Star 22:43, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete this article and the editor who created it. Gamaliel 22:50, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete: Duke Leto Atreides is a character in Dune. He can't write anything, as he is written. Secondly, it says that this is a real organization but that everything that follows that sentence is fiction. Third, there are no organizations to link the individuals in question. Fourth, it seems like a joke from Foucault's Pendulum. Geogre 00:48, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • BJAODN, with this vote, too, please. I think this vote is as funny as the article. Geogre 00:18, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• What you do not realise is that the Brotherhood is real. The stories may be fictional. If it is necesary i will post a full list of the members. The story is not meant to be funny, but if humour is needed to save the page, then by all means someone make it funny.
• Delete it if you must. But I would strongly recommend against it. The Brotherhood IS real, so are its many members. I see you have pages on other societies such as the Masonry, so why not this one? Once it is completed you will see. The Brotherhood has a book, similar to the bible i suppose, but with no relious aspects. Brothers are free to any religion, I know I am a Brother. We call the Bokk the "Codice di ultima saggezzo". Once this page is complete it will contain all the may writings of the Codice. We go by nicknames. I am Duke Leto Atreides, there is EL-Filibusterismo, Sir Dean Dnumgis Kimberly Mansig Jario the 3rd of Ignoramus, Don Rosierro, Willtran, Adamcis, Darby, Montgomery, Migz, Phesajh, Mds. And these are just the council elders. I know the Brotherhood is real, I created it.
• Delete. Secret society vanity. If this would have been invented by Umberto Eco, it would be at least semi-notable. Since "The Brotherhood" seems to be a new original creation, why don't the author keep it and it's details entirely secret? jni 08:39, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Ah yes Cosmo Kramer is out there controlling the building of pyramids, so the vile aliens can come and take over our little planet. Their first step is Wikipedia. Let's take a stand now and stop them Delete. At least Discordians have enough pop culture influence so they can be notable...

• speedy delete. Patent nonsense. Nuf' said. Speedy it (tag already on it) Terrapin 14:42, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Delete it, don't feed it. Unsinnlich und auch nicht komisch! --Improv 17:44, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• hurry up and delete it for gods sake! Leto Atreides
• Patent nonsense: Speedy delete if possible. There are indeed things man was not meant to know, and this is clearly one of them. Pnot 21:28, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• BJAODN material at best. --Goblin 21:32, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
• I have speedily deleted it, on the basis of the overwhelming consensus here, and Leto's "hurry up and delete it for gods sake!" comment above. —Stormie 01:44, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)
• It's a pity that the article has been deleted. I could have placed it on BJAODN. What was its content, anyway? - Mike Rosoft 08:45, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
