Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Number of the Beast (occurrence)
This article currently is in need of help, clarity and sourcing all of which can be accomplished through regular editing. The Mark (or number) of the Beast is well represented in popular culture and has books and lectures on the subject. Yes, the article needs work but that is no reason for deletion. Per  ''If you can fix the article through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD.'' Asa suggestion it would be helpful to organize instances where the number of the beast is used purposefully to exploit the religious connotations, simply for occult factor, to insight demonic ideas and even as parody. In one lecture I know the researcher cited what I think were accidental occurences so perhaps citing some high-profile accidental uses would be appropriate and comparing this use to how some hotels avoid having a 13th floor and maybe companies that have altered a label for the same cultural reasons
