Religion … in which belief, fiction, fact and faith are interwoven. Unreferenced. Possible vanity - author is Freedomelf. I presume non-notable. -- RHaworth 17:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply
The source is listed at the bottom of the article, which is www.calyr.org. The Calyr religion is an actual religion practiced for the past 4 years by members in the US and Canada. The website calyr.org serves as their online reference. I can understand why members of other religions may be upset at the addition, but I believe that deleting this article entirely would cause legal problems with discrimination, since many other religions, even obscure ones, are referenced on wikipedia. However, if you can think of how it could be edited to standardize it for wikipedia, I am open to suggestion. :) -- 70.162.19.183 17:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply
I apologize; I forgot to sign in when I made the comment above. Please let me know how I should edit the article to make it acceptable by wikipedia standards. Thank you. - Freedomelf 17:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply
I have contacted the other members of the church, and all 16 have agreed to abide by your decision on whether or not to delete this entry at this time. I apologize if I have offended anyone by putting up the information about our organization. - Freedomelf 19:37, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Thank you for your kind comments. I will take your advice to heart and check out the other pages. Thanks again. Freedomelf
I wanted to add one more thing, if I may, before I close. I'm afraid that my fellow Calyr and I were quite clueless as to google hits, etc. for a web site. We had been working on putting our books of faith on the web for months, but had not gotten it finished until this week. The site was only actually published day before yesterday, and we had a party to celebrate with all of our members (except the one who lives in Canada). One of our members suggested putting an entry in wikipedia and I volunteered to do so for the group. I realize now that we were much too hasty, and should have built up a web presence. I am very grateful for your instruction, Isotope and Starblind. I hope that as we grow in knowledge, we will be able to resubmit the entry at a future date, if it is taken down now. In the meantime, I think I will study other entries on the site to gain some experience. Thanks again and good night. - - Freedomelf 06:46, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
