Talk:Preaching chords

more citations needed
I added a more citations needed. While the article has some references, some are 404, others are mere passing mentions. Geo Swan (talk) 02:05, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

There are still insufficient sources to establish this as a separate topic / topic suitable for a separate article. Should it be a part of the Call and response article? Or my first thought is that it might be broadened and renamed into an article on call and response preaching style in American churches. North8000 (talk) 13:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC)


 * There's already an article on Black preaching (which seems to be what you're referring to), but I think this is a big enough topic that a separate article certainly can be argued. Further, I would venture to guess that insufficient inclusion of sources is different from "insufficient sources". Insufficient inclusion by no means warrants an article being deleted or merged. But it seems a lot of Wikipedia editors have no interest in trying to find sources. Though I don't necessarily care to be the one to do it here, but I think the addition of a few articles could fill this one out pretty well. natemup (talk) 12:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * IMO the practice / style that this article refers to is something that needs to be covered in Wikipedia. But IMO this article under this title isn't the way to do it.  It sort of creates the term "Preaching chords"  and in the sparse amount of actual available references (two references) there is zero mention of the term, (and one mention of "preacher chords") nor any coverage of  "chords" aspect specifically. I did a quick scan of related article and don't see real coverage of this style and would be willing to help to see that it somehow gets covered. The Black churches article really doesn't have it and is too broad to have much of a place for good coverage of this topic.  The Call and response and Black sermonic tradition articles might be good places for such coverage although neither has much on it. Maybe merging this into one of those and expanding it might be a good thing. I'd be interested in helping. North8000 (talk) 13:38, 15 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Given the amount and nature of results that come up when one Googles "preaching chords", It seems a stretch to say that this article is creating the term. I'm all for renaming the page to "preacher chords", but I don't think this page should be deleted or merged. We can agree that this page needs work, though. natemup (talk) 15:09, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I originally came here just in my NPP duties. I came back only because I watch the page and you made a post. Mostly I think we just need to have a good & viable plan on how to cover this area. I think that that you are right that this article is not creating this term. I don't plan to AFD; I would actually oppose anything that would result in the loss of the content of this article.North8000 (talk) 17:05, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
