Creedmoor chassidism

• Strong delete. It's not a hoax, or vanvalism. It's a longstanding joke on the usenet group soc.culture.jewish and subsequently soc.culture.jewish.moderated. It's fiction, sophomoric humor IMHO. The scjm are taking this as "proof" of the unreliability of Wikipedia as a resource. -- micha 15:17, 11 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Hoax created by notorious vandal. Google comes up empty, needless to say. Rl 19:13, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Strong delete. Not only Google comes up empty, I've verified otherwise. We should speedy this vandal's contributions. Solver 19:16, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Creedmoorer Chassidism is a very important development in recent Jewish history and we should be honoured to have it summarised here!
  • First two contributions ever by GreatArcticBear (talk · contribs) are this vote here and a vote at the Creedmore chassidism Vfd. -- Curps 11:01, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The author of this article write obscure Jewish humor on a Jewish Usenet newsgroup. This article is literally a joke, and as such must be deleted. RK 23:30, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
