Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atheists of Silicon Valley
Appearance
Social group of purely local interest. Doesn't assert notability or influence. Could maybe also fall under "Wikipedia is not a collection of links", since the number of external links attached seems almost longer than the article itself. Calton | Talk 06:57, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete as per Calton. Hamster Sandwich 07:53, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

- Delete for the aforementioned reasons. IINAG 18:56, 23rd July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, nn. Pavel Vozenilek 22:54, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep because: 1) It's a stub, so expand it instead of complaining. 2) "Do not bite the newcomers" 3) Asserting notability or influence is NOT listed in "Deletion Policy". 24 July 2005
- 1) Who's complaining? It's just being deleted, is all.
- 2) The policy is "Do not bite the newcomers", not "Let newcomers do whatever they damned well please."
- 3) No, but being [s]uch a minor branch of a subject that it doesn't deserve an article is. Also, Wikipedia is not a soapbox, advertising medium, indiscriminate collection of links, indiscriminate collection of information, or webhost.
- Keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Voyager640 (talk • contribs) 10:46, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Gets 5,900 Google hits, so there must be something to it. However, the article should be expanded quite a lot for it to deserve a place in Wikipedia. - ulayiti (talk) 14:46, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: the author ofthe article seems quite literl-minded, now having added a "Claim to Fame" section, in some effort to make it look notable. The only two entries are that the group gets listed in the credits of a straight-to-video documentary called The God Who Wasn't There -- a very VfD-worthy vanity article, BTW -- and that the president of the group was once on Hannity and Colmes. That's it. --Calton | Talk 05:55, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, nn, very local-interest. We have knitting groups in my town, too, but you don't see me posting them to Wikipedia. ;-) Xaa 00:02, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Delete hardly the NSS. Dunc|☺ 18:37, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Recent edits by 68.127.10.153 establish notability. Fernando Rizo T/C 18:57, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep If the group has in fact appeared on a national television show and a legitimate documentary, people may be interested in them. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 23:18, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep User issuing complaint has a demonstrated anti-atheist agenda, also trying to delete an entry for my documentary The God Who Wasn't There for clearly unfounded reasons. I am familiar with the Godless Geeks and this article is accurate. BrianFlemming 30 July 2005
- Keep Wikipedia has already voted to delete the Universist article, which is an international movement with thousands of members: http://universist.org/wikipedia.htm ...I'm starting to worry about the future of the Wikipedia project. It's becoming more about compounding ignorance rather than sharing information. Universist 19:17, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I've seen this group on television and is a very active Atheist group. This look like another attempt be Christians to suppress reality. --Marcperkel 19:20, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I live thousands of miles from Silicon Valley, but regularly use their website. It is one of the best (and certainly most well known) Atheist hubs on the web. msallen
- Keep Group is legitimate and probably has a wider group influence then many of the towns and local schools that get wikipedia articles. Article can be expanded. I would not delete the article for a church that got international media attention, why is this different? Michael Kozlowicz 2:33pm central July 31 2005
- Keep Same reasons already stated above (well known atheist page, most certainly as "legitimate" a group as many other Wikipedia entries). It's certainly not only of local interest.
- Keep Having been featured in a doctumentary and appearing on television, there is obviously an interest in the group. LakeSky 31 July 2005
