Questionable Notability, see WP:WEB also, WP:SOURCE and to a certain extent WP:PROMOTION I have tagged a couple hopefully relevant Wikiprojects. The article is of stub length, and has only one third party source. This doesn't appear to be sufficiently notable to be listed on an online encyclopedia.

Keep - Dinkoism is a spoof religion that is emerging in the southern Indian state of Kerala. It is the first and possibly the only main stream parody religion, of the lines of FSM in India. I strongly believe it is worth keeping, while agreeing to the fact that the article is of sub length and lacks substantial sources. I shall also notify some of the volunteers from Malayalam Language Wiki as well who may be interested in contributing here. The Dinkoism movement is gaining a lot of traction in mainstream media, both regional and national media especially in the light of their mockery towards religious fanaticism and intolerance. Several national news papers have reported it recently. Please allow some time to remove 'weasal words' from my opinion and establish them with trustworthy sources.

Redirect to Dinkan#Dinkoism - Thanks for pointing out this option -Tux the penguin (talk) 14:13, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. In my opinion, it does barely meet our notability requirement. I say we should keep it for now, give it a chance to be expanded and improved, and revisit this question in six months. --Guy Macon (talk) 10:40, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Dinkan#Dinkoism. Thanks to SwisterTwister for pointing out that that section exists. --Guy Macon (talk) 10:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Dinkan as this is still questionably independently notable and unlikely to be a better separate article yet. SwisterTwister talk 05:44, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Dinkan#Dinkoism. Notable as a section, not as a separate article. --Fixuture (talk) 19:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
