- Paradigm piracy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
term is a self admitted neologism, an attempted merge met with what seems to be a keenness for an article which seems to be barely-disguised advertising for a non-notable book with a similar name. Concept exists but not notable independent of other articles such as chaos magic. Attempted merges by several editors keep being met with reversion so this needs to be resolved via the wider community at AfD. Sticky Parkin 01:49, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete As the page stands there is little to recommend it, plus the term 'Paradigm piracy' is not widely used in Chaos Magick, and is therefore not notable. Tuxraider reloaded (talk) 02:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- Indifferent. I know of this term in occult circles. I've never heard of it called paradigm piracy though (more like Paradigm shifting; which is what its usually called). I think the material can be used in a different article altogether. Even still, we could merge whatever isn't at Chaos_magic#Magical_paradigm_shifting and redirect it there.

- Keep There are many people who identify as paradigm pirates, but not as chaos magicians, most notably from the Discordian movement. Tsuzuki26 (talk) 04:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- You say most notably but the only reference being used specifically for discordianism is one members website on geocites. The rest of the sources are primarily from chaotes (i.e. chaos magicians). Can you prove this assertion? Synergy 06:25, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- It's true that the chaos magic movement and Discordianism are sometimes hard to separate, with many people belonging in both camps, but the notion of "free belief" has existed in the Discordian movement without any magical implications. As such, it deserves its own entry. Tsuzuki26 (talk) 11:29, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- Delete this impressive-sounding but, it seems, little-used name for a preposterously banal notion. -- Hoary (talk) 08:20, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
