This article had a previously contested prod. I believe it fails WP:Notability. It purports to be an off-shoot of Unitarian Universalism; however, as an active UU, I have never heard of it. More importantly, a Google search reveals only a blog entry or two and wholly unrelated uses of the term. (There is a 1958 book with it in the title, but the subject matter appears to be completely different.) I think this falls, perhaps innocently, under "stuff some guy made up one day", which is covered in WP:NOT. Aleta Sing 19:31, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete - No results on google news, google scholar, or google books. Might want to consider nominating :File:Tri-ism.jpg for deletion as well, as that is a self-created image seemingly created for use in this article. John Carter (talk) 19:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete the nominator sums it up nicely, this fails WP:MADEUP. Tavix (talk) 20:16, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Strong delete per nom. I also searched for the term on Google, including the name of the supposed originator, and reached the same conclusion. Totally made up. I note that the creator of the article, Eyeballus has made no other edits to Wikipedia, and that the supposed creator of Tri-ism, Patrick J Wilson has a DeviantArt account by the name of Eyeballus.

  • "Strong delete". i agree completely with this deletion request —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.158.174.249 (talk) 21:11, 24 March 2009 (UTC) — 67.158.174.249 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete, WP:HOAX and WP:MADEUP. Don't forget to remove the redlink from the template once it's deleted. -Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • [http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/count/index.php?name={{urlencode:Lilac Soul}}&wiki=wikipedia&lang=en count]) 21:26, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
  • I've removed the link from the UU template already. Nothing in the article connects the topic directly to UUism. Katr67 (talk) 22:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete, no evidence of existence. - 7-bubёn >t 00:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
  • I searched for sources, too. There are a few three-personalities theories in existence (Kenneth Burke has one.), but they aren't the bases for religions. Katr67 shows strong reason to believe that this is a deliberate hoax, rather than an innocent attempt at a genuine encyclopaedia article. This is original research, in any case. Delete.
