1260 years
WP:OR WP:V WP:WEB Apparently-original Rapture theology. John Nagle 07:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

This seems to be a new form of Rapture date-setting, from one web site. Wikipedia generally requires more notability than that. --John Nagle 07:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Doesn't appear to be notable. DarthVad e r 09:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. "Woah, isn't that scary?" Not if your article is unsourced and non-notable original research (and if I cared...) Grand  master  ka  09:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, obviously. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. There are plenty of other WP articles on Christian eschatology, that are more comprehensive and better written. This one doesn't add anything useful. Paddles TC 10:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  12:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Intervals of years are inherently notable. We should instead create 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years ... Delete, of course. TheProject 13:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep and improve - this is actually a notable, though theologically errant, interpretation of scripture. There are a great many cults who claim that their cult is the only True Christian (tm) group.  So you take the year your cult was founded, subtract 1260 from it, find some magic event that happened in that year, say that this event started the great tribulation and that your cult is ending it.  But at any rate, though this is a poorly written article about the subject, it is notable, it is not date setting, and it is not the product of one person's imagination.

 * Delete Crikey, original research with one link to a proselytising website. Also, Wikipedia is not a soapbox.   (aeropagitica)    (talk)   15:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment as for the link to the proselytising website, I have been WP:BOLD and removed it. BigDT 17:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the content is notable, it will stick somewhere in the Rapture article, if not, it'll be edited out. Doesn't merit a separate article. NawlinWiki 21:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - this doesn't have anything to do with the rapture. People who believe that the 1260 days are really years do not even believe in a rapture.  Merging these two would be like merging pork chops with vegan because they both talk about food. BigDT 04:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
