[edit] Deletion tag

Weak keep — Exploration of authoritarian society, namely DeseretGilead, in the book's universe. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 00:56, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Yeah I thought that was kind of obvious. People need to stop being so jumpy with wanting to delete articles. ClothCoat (talk) 02:49, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Keep per "explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism." Obviously. Wehpudicabok [話] [変] [留] 03:00, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
I dunno, the authoritarianism angle seems pretty weaksauce. I mean it's about authoritarianism, but a fictionalized version. As I said in the edit summary, it's notable from a literary standpoint and a lot of progressives refer to it, but I don't see it as really fitting here that well. --Kels (talk) 03:14, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Keep. I think it has it's place here. Refugeetalk page 06:49, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Strong keep. Another article we'd rather delete than work to improve. RationalWiki, you are batting 0/2 today. Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 06:53, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Obvious keep. Pretty good article all up - short introduction to a subject one might hear referred to in passing and wonder what it was. --DamoHi 07:30, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
