Chaldean Christians

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page is effectively an attempt at the duplication of the Assyrian people page, but partially using a different name. Nemroyo (talk) 05:55, 21 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge: In any case, it could well be merged with Chaldean Catholic Church. Chicbyaccident (talk) 14:38, 21 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Either Keep or, if appropriate (I don't have the subject-matter expertise to judge) merge and redirect to an appropriate target. Definitely not delete. Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:35, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Assyrian people. The title "Assyrian people" is more neutral but is clearly the main preexisting, well-sourced article about Chaldean Christians. Steven Walling &bull; talk   06:58, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. "Assyrian people" is a blanket term for Syriac Christians in the Middle East, Chaldeans being one of several "sects" or "ethno-religious" groups of Syriac Christians.--Z oupan 23:37, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. and expand. The question of the distinctiveness should be addressed in the article  DGG ( talk ) 15:50, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep 3 reasons. 1. Assyrian people and Chaldean Christians are overlapping but not identical groups.  2. the term Chaldean Christians is is in pretty wide use in the sense defined in this article:  the BBC: ; Christian Post: ; Los Angeles Times: .  3. An ethnie is not the same as a Church, i.e., it is reasonable to have both an article for the Church and one for the ethnic identity. E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:42, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
