Christian Plural Marriage

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Religious philosophy, citing just one website -- no indication of notability, strong scent of original research. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: I just Googled the subject and I don't see coverage by reliable sources. It might be worth redirecting to Polygyny but the content is too vague to justify much, if any, of a merge. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:57, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - no independent sources. probably WP:NFT --T-rex 01:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but merge. Subject has been covered by independent sources, including On Line Opinion (Australian socio-political e-journal) and BBC news. Article can be improved further via copy edit and referenced, and can be considered for merger with Polygyny. In respond to the first comment, I don't think "vagueness" is a reason for deletion.-Samuel Tan (talk) 06:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Added some independent research. Cnystrom 07:56, 3 July 2006

 * Keep There's definitely significant historical figures and research on them out there on this topic. e.g. John Humphrey Noyes.  I say keep and see what happens. Hard to get volunteers. --Firefly322 (talk) 04:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Christian Plural Marriage is a distinct and growing movement which deserves independent coverage. With the 4th of July weekend, I have not had the time to contribute to this subject. This article deserves more time before considering deletion. -- JohnBoyTheGreat (talk) 09:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Please don't delete, I wish to contribute to this page.  I will add, as time allows, all Scripture based arguments for and against Christian Plural Marriage that I came across in my years of research on the matter.  It's important to differentiate between Christian and Mormon Polygyny, IMHO. --RosalynD (talk) 18:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep -- I have just done some clean up on it and linked the short section of Polygyny to it. I am not sure of the correctness of including "evangelical" in the text, but that is a minor quibble.  I have not followed up the various notes, but the subject does have sources, no doubt from its proponents.  I oppose merger as that would unbalance the article inot which it would be merged.  Do not get me wrong: I do not support polygamy, but it deserves discussion.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
