Christian Celestial Hierachy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested speedy deletion. Had been redirected as an apparent copy-paste of existing article, Christian angelic hierarchy but was reverted. Nominated under A10 due to there being an existing article and due to author's admission of copying from that article. Again reverted, possibly by page creator. In summary, the article is a mix of existing articles, primarily Christian angelic hierarchy but also articles on the inner planets of our system and on earth's atmosphere. Such a combination suggests original research (and not very good research, either, considering the confusion between biosphere and atmosphere). The existing article may have room for expansion or even splitting, but there is no need for a separate article such as this.  Claret Ash  10:32, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination as content fork. I suspect that the contributor is actually interested in writing about planetary angels, which would in fact be a worthwhile potential subject. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:32, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I regard this as WP:OR. Allusions to the subject in the Bible are scanty.  This means that the subject must inevitably be controversial.  It contains several citations from the Bible, and one of a concordance.  Apart from that there is one website cited.  This subject must have been the subject of considerable academic debate among theologians, and I have no doubt that there are a range of differing views on it.  If such an article were to exist, it ought to be discussing the views of those theologians, not merely putting forward a single view, as if this was the only one possible.

 * Delete as content fork of Christian angelic hierarchy, with WP:OR about astronomy and the atmosphere added. -- 202.124.75.157 (talk) 23:02, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This, despite its title, is a weird conflation of the pseudo-Dionysian (Christian) angelic hierarchy with the "seven firmaments" and angelic hierarchy found in some strands of Jewish mysticism. As such, it certainly violates WP:OR and WP:SYNTH; the unattributed copyvio of other Wikipedia articles is just icing on the cake. Deor (talk) 16:22, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above. I've yet to see a convincing argument that this article (at this title) is in any way different than the existing articles. If the author wanted to draft a major update to existing articles, or to propose a move of one article to this title, then they need to go elsewhere - this isn't how to do it.
