Anti-supernaturalism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nothing more than a dictionary definition and has not grown beyond such in over 3 years. It is unlikely that it ever will. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 03:44, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * As original nominator of this AfD, I agree with Ansh666 and Warden that redirect is a very good option. I support the redirect as well.  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 18:53, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep I don't think the article is necessarily a dictionary definition. Seems that Google Books has a large number of books related to the subject. It is obviously a major concept that requires a better article but will it ever improve. I suggest we keep it and see if it can be improved. scope_creep talk 19:42, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Then do it. It's been sitting here like this for 3 years. Ansh666 19:03, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is all that obvious at all that this is a "major concept". Extremely little in article space links to it and this article has gotten no attention in three years.  I checked Google books at your suggestion and saw only fleeting references except for one book printed in 1841 and a not notable theology book from 1965.  The article simply defines the term and does absolutely nothing else.  That makes it a dictdef.  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 05:14, 16 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - The topic passes Wikipedia's threshold of notability. It's a concept, rather than a word definition, in many ways. Several books have entire chapters that cover various aspects of the topic:, , . Additionally, more sources are available that provide significant coverage: (e.g. - be sure to scroll down). Also, there are two sources listed in the article, one of which is titled "Revolt Against Heaven: An Enquiry into Anti-Supernaturalism", from the Calvin Theological Journal.

 * Redirect to metaphysical naturalism which is a substantial article about the same subject. Warden (talk) 17:09, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Warden. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 01:57, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
