My (un)deletions were so I could export it to http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Pieism without losing the history since it wasn't the most recent version of the page that was worth keeping but a combination of some of the older revisions. Angela

Obviously looks to me like it was deleted because it wasn't written to our standards. I just took a quick glance at the deletion log, but it looks like this article might be worthy of inclusion, that is, if we can find the right person to write it. Just my two c's...

Looks more like a case of "things made up in school one day" and "no reliable third-party sources" to me. Mind you, I have nothing against parody religions. But like any other meme, they do need to establish at least some bare minimum of notability before being included in an encyclopedia. Merely setting up a website on a free webhost and spamming some wikis and discussion boards doesn't suffice. According to an "official" list (set up by the founder of the religion) on PetitionOnline, this one has a grand total of 37 self-described followers so far: http://www.webcitation.org/5MJKL4UYk http://www.webcitation.org/5MJJvuscx Also compare: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?word1=pieism&word2=pastafarianism http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?word1=pieism&word2=discordianism -- Ilmari Karonen
