By nominating Necronomicon H.P. Lovecraft and Kathulu Majik for deletion Tannhaus clearly has an agenda of stamping out all free debate that he does not agree with. I have attempted to accommodate every point he has made in accordance with standard wiki procedures however this one sided approach is difficult to deal with. I think a discussion of both fictional and nonfictional topics that bear some relevance to the LG15 story line is worth debating. Writers not only draw on nonfiction for inspiration but also fiction. The Creators have stated that Bree's religion draws on a number of influences. I have attempted to research and document these in good faith and I do not think it would be fair if these substantial contributions are just discarded without appropriate discussion and debate of their relevance to potential future story lines. It should be remembered that the Creators want us to express where we would like the story to go and it seems to be that research into what has gone before in terms of story lines is highly relevant.--modelmotion 03:40, 1 December 2006 (CST)

I think he has a possibly valid point. The connection is tenuous at best, and in particular, a person who came upon this page would have no idea why it was here. Justify the page's existence and link it in to the plot of lg15, and I'd gladly vote for it to stay. As it now stands, I'm neither for nor against it. --Brucker 12:43, 1 December 2006 (CST)

All I ask is that time be given to figure out how best to approach this topic. After he rewrites a page I need a chance to revise it and if it gets deleted I cannot do it.--modelmotion 12:47, 1 December 2006 (CST)

There, that edit you just did made the page a whole lot better, in my estimation. I think we need at least little things like that to justify a page's existence. That may not convince everyone, of course, but it's a start. --Brucker 13:52, 1 December 2006 (CST)

Good job Modelmotion!.--Iris2009

If you look back in the history of the page I actually had other material about Gates, but i had not stated it quite as directly. The process of researching LG has been an enlightening one for me as I begin to draw connections between rituals that cover thousands of years. Its only recently that I have begun to "get it" and it will take time to drew together all these links on LGpedia and make it clear that while fictional there are those out therre who really believe in this stuff.--modelmotion 14:02, 1 December 2006 (CST)

Just because a fictional work insults a particular religion is not grounds for deletion. Its fiction and last time I checked that is protected by Freedom of Speach, at least in the USA. It has always been clear to me why it was relevant but that material was edited out. It was then claimed that it was not relevant. That is a pattern that has been repeaded over and over and its just not fair. And besides, lets not forget that LG itself is a work of fiction!--modelmotion 14:35, 1 December 2006 (CST)

Tannhaus has been for a while coming dangerously close to "impinging on the Will" of just about everyone involved with the LG15 project IMHO. --Treefunk 14:50, 1 December 2006 (CST)
