Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Antipope Michael
Another case of "Where does one start?" Distinctly non-NPOV and it doesn't read like a mainstream topic, though no doubt it may be of marginal interest to someone out there. Deb 16:36, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete as there is already an article on the guy at Pope Michael. Arguably the leader of such a very small religious group (not sure exactly how small, but he was elected by only a handful of people, including his own parents and himself, in a store in a small town) is not encyclopedic, but apparently some people do like to keep tabs on the various people around the world who have declared themselves popes.

- Now I've read everything. The person responsible for this claptrap should spend more time studying basic English and less time convincing some dweeb that he's the Second Coming. If this doesn't qualify as patent nonsense and a speedy deletion, I don't know what does. I shudder to think these people are roaming free, and I happen to be Catholic! - Lucky 6.9 19:41, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- It's a cut-n-paste copyvio from [1]. Delete it, then recreate as a redirect to Pope Michael. -- "Antipope" is really the religious equivalent of a micronation; maybe we should clear out all that stuff. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:53, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: I only knew the term "Antipope" for that brief period in history when there were Avigninian and Roman Popes, but I see that it's whenever one person "is set up" for Pope. In that regard, there have been about 35 of them. Better without the valuative term in the article title. Geogre 16:43, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Wow. To be sure, the popes at Avignon, the famous "Babylonian Captivity" of the Middle Ages, didn't refer to themselves as Antipopes. Delete. Fire Star 19:22, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep and rewrite. Nonsense, but encyclopedic nonetheless.--Gene_poole 02:47, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Did you not notice when I pointed out that we already have Pope Michael? Besides, the man is a pope and not an "antipope" as far as himself and his followers are concerned, so the use of "antipope" as the title is inappropriate. Everyking 16:54, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
