The result was Delete. While there are three people advocating Keep, one is basing it on a gut feeling and another is simply calling it "interesting". The lack of sources (and the fact that the Book of Michael appears to be unpublished) seals the deal. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zero reliable sources to substantiate notability. I've checked Google Books, Google Scholar, and Google News and can't find anything to justify this article. PubliusFL 17:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I am sure it is notable; I just don't have any proof that it is.--Sefringle 06:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

and there is where the problem is... we can't prove it Alf photoman 13:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as an apostasty of the LDS.
  policy has shown that it is permitted to report the self-description of groups, as self-descriptions, reserving due weight considerations of the notability of the group/site/author within the article's subject. - WeniWidiWiki 18:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply

I may have missed something -- what book? PubliusFL 19:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Wikipedia is not a web directory. This religion is just a website at this point. Does not appear notable, not even as an LDS offshoot. If this changes in the future and they become a notable movement an article would be justified. Dragomiloff 01:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This is an interesting and important development within a major religion. It's small and recent, yes, but still notable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.107.129.107 (talk • contribs) 14:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]
• Delete The book is [The Book of Michael which has apparently never been printed. A quick google search shows a network of websites and a few blogs before descending into irrelevant hits. Right now there are no independent sources and the evidence is that this is simply a very small part of the Latter Day Saint movement and the mention on that page is sufficient. Just include the external link as a reference. Eluchil404 10:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
