List of sins
A laundry list with no substantive encyclopaedic content. Reads like an essay or OR (in fact, see bottom of the page, where it says, "Compiled by: Dr Mohan C Thomas" — this article was created by User:Drmohancthomas). Severa (!!!) 14:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete list of sins is subject to interpretation and the term is too broad, it would include sins of other religions and of course it is not encyclopedic.--Janarius 14:53, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as OR. Nothing in the article is verifed by multiple non trivial sources (not that it could be). The only source listed is the Bible and surely we aren't going to set precedent by allowing articles to exist solely on their connection to biblical passages. My only hope is that this discussion does not degenerate to the point that we are discussing the Bible's merit as a reputable source. --  Cyrus      Andiron   15:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is actually borderline A1 speedy material as there is no real context to this article.  "Murmuring" is listed as a sin, but what is that supposed to mean?  "Discouraged"?  What?  No context, no article.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 15:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm afraid I don't trust the bible as a reliable third party source in the slightest, seeing as it's criticized so heavily for its ambiguity and being open to any interpretation. If this stayed, there'd probably be countless edit wars about other sins which might be suggested by the book, depending on how you read the passage (and what translation). And as Arkyan said, if it were much shorter, it would fall under CSD A1. - Zeibura S. Kathau (Info 16:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Penitential, of course.--Ioannes Pragensis 16:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. WP:OR out the wazooty here -- possible WP:SOAP too, given the article's creator. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 16:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
