Since the Illuminati is supposed to be such a secret conspiracy and society (if it exists at all), I wasn't surprised at all that there are no Wikipedia:Reliable sources supporting this. One occultist's website does not count. No papers on Google Scholar referencing the term (so that discounts it as a cultural phenomenon that has been independently studied before). 54 unique Google hits for "Illuminati calendar" [1] Fails: Wikipedia:Verifiability -- Netsnipe (Talk) 05:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: ZOMG Gazpacho! You blew our cover on Wikipedia. Now the trolls and POV-pushers will always accuse us of being part of a larger coverup. There goes my chances at being promoted into the Wikipedia:Rouge admin cabal. -- Netsnipe (Talk) 06:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment If my memory serves me, an Illuminati calendar (not this one) is featured in The Illuminatus Trilogy, so a redirect to that would make sense (someone who has access to a copy of the book might want to check that). JoshuaZ 08:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply: Your hunch was right JoshuaZ. This article is based on a work of fiction: Designed by Robert Anton Wilson in 5969-5971 AL for the Illuminatus trilogy (co-written with Bob Shea)... [2] -- Netsnipe (Talk) 17:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect Per Netsnipe's above research. JoshuaZ 18:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with CalendarDoctor Bruno 15:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)Speedy delete as it has been verified that this is based on a work of fictionDoctor Bruno 18:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: There's a Wikipedia:Verifiability problem that needs to be resolved first. We can't even tell if this Illuminati calendar is fact, a hoax or pure fiction right now. -- Netsnipe (Talk) 16:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. At least as per [3] and [4] it is verifiable. I based my decision on these links. The question is perhaps notability. Any how, if it does not seem to be notable, I am ready to revise my opinionDoctor Bruno 17:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete — Although I love Robert Anton Wilson and his work, this should not have its own article. SynergeticMaggot 19:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
