Declaration by Joseph de Arimathea

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No reliable references - I can't even verify the book exists. The references are a dead blogspot blog, and another book I can't verify exists. Based on the author's creation of Apocrypha of the Virgin Mary, I have no idea if the book was supposedly written in modern or ancient times. There is no reliable content here at all. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 20:07, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * delete After a great deal of looking around I have found the actual text referenced, which in English (rather than, apparently, Spanish) is referred to as the "Narrative of Joseph of Arimathea". New Advent has it here and Bart Ehrman talks about it in his blog here. It may be worth an article, but this one is worthless and has the wrong name. Time to break out the WP:TNT.

 * Delete: Firstly, thank Mangoe for providing the research. There are unsubstantiated claims in this article, which does not examine New Testament apocrypha as a phenomenon, nor does the article give any sources for the mss, nor the original language, and no exegesis of the document. The whole thing is likely to be a fake. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:28, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
