Day of Atonement (Christian holiday)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This nomination has come out of the discussion at Articles for deletion/Feast of Tabernacles (Christian holiday). This is a similar article - it's essentially a POV fork of Yom Kippur. All Christians who observe the Day of Atonement are in fact observing the Jewish (or Hebrew of Biblical) day of Yom Kippur. Hence, Day of Atonement (Christian holiday) should be merged into Yom Kippur. But I have already transferred all the information that seemed relevant and verifiable. So what remains can be deleted.

 * I don't think edit history is an issue here, since I wrote the section in Yom Kippur afresh. It covered the same ground as in this article (e.g. the Book of Hebrews) but there's no particular text that has been copied across. StAnselm (talk) 06:36, 6 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per the precedent of Articles for deletion/Feast of Tabernacles (Christian holiday) and due to insufficient sourcing. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:24, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as original research. As with the Feast of Tabernacles article that was just deleted, there's no indication that this is anything more than the observance of the Jewish holiday by some Christians, which wouldn't require a separate article, and there are no sources cited to even make that claim.

 * Delete for same reasons as Articles for deletion/Feast of Tabernacles (Christian holiday). -- Radagast3 (talk) 02:37, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I have never heard of purely Jewish feasts being celebrated as Christian one. No doubt there are some Christians who seek to adopt Jewish practices who do so, but they are celebrating a Jewish feast not a Christian one.  I doubt whether there is anything worth merging with Yom Kippur, as a short final section, but it all feels like WP:OR to me.  Peterkingiron (talk) 00:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
