Delete – This AfD was first voiced at Talk:Cult_of_Reason#Atheist or deist. In short, it's a matter of undue weight: the festival "Goddess" figures are described well enough in the Cult article for what they really were – essentially, grandiose mascots. The concept simply doesn't merit an article of its own: giving it article namespace implies that there is more to the topic than there really is. It causes confusion in readers who might easily end up thinking that it was an actual deity, or that it played some deeper role in the Cult than it did.

Merge It does seem that this and the Cult of Reason cannot, or at least should not, be covered separately and users are not served by the separation. But the Goddess is notable, however she is understood, and should be included in the Cult of Reason article. --AJHingston (talk) 08:38, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: Per my initial comment, and in accordance with both SteveStrummer and AJHingston, I think this article ought to be deleted, and the article namespace redirected to Cult of Reason. I apologize for the tardiness of this comment... I'm new to the AfD process. -- MisterDub (talk | contribs) 16:46, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
