Bloated and unnecessary

This article is basically just a campaign website / cultish manifesto. It needs to be heavily trimmed and/or possibly merged with the main RP article. A good start would be to remove all the primary source content and/or concisely re-word content and make sure it can be sourced to RS. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 02:58, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
