Criticisms of Charismatic and Pentecostal belief

 * Delete POV article --terrillwhite
 * Delete Article intended solely as POV jab - any useful factual information should be merged into the other relevant articles: the Title itself guarantees a single, particular POV! Any article that ONLY allows critical POV (based on its very title) or ONLY allows supportive POV in the same manner should be deleted. From the outset it assumes by its title to ban edits in support of the topic - only this critical of the topic fit within the article,and therefore can be nothing but POV. --bzehr 18:39, 05 April 2006
 * Delete The article is a POV fork and breaks with WP:OR. Any relevant information should be moved to Charismatic Movement and Pentecostalism.--Jersey Devil 23:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, the article is so full of POV its almost hilarious. Itake 23:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. ProhibitOnions 00:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, POV fork and original research. --Ter e nce Ong 04:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, I am the original creator of the article. Please take time to read the article's discussion page to view the original afd that was done in July 2004 - the vote then was to keep. If you read it you will see that the voters engaged in a very long and detailed discussion. Moreover, I have also noticed that the article is about 20% of the size that it once was and this appears to be entirely due to pov editing. For an example of how detailed the article once was, check out the 10 May 2005 entry. Additionally, I never once used the phrase "critics accuse" or "critics argue" as the current article does. If you examine the history you will see a much fuller, better written, more balanced and more detailed article. --One Salient Oversight 13:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to page X of One Salient Oversight's choosing, but proabably Pentecostal.  Or Keep if X is too long already.  But article must be treated as a subpage of X.  Articles trying to be subpages are not POV forks  JeffBurdges 14:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Itake Montco 03:30, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge Controversies about religious movements are contained within articles about the religion itself. See, for example, Scientology, which is arguably more controversial. George Bluth 16:40, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
