Neo-fascism and religion
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Violates WP:SYNTH. Of course politics and religion are deeply related, including neo-fascist politics. However this article seems to be a synthesis where anything political, from George Bush to Imperial Japan, that someone has called "neo-fascist" and that has some kind of relationship to something religious is included. No secondary sources are provided that show the overall concept of the article has been noted elsewhere than WP. Kitfoxxe (talk) 02:59, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with the nomination that this article advances a position that is not entirely supported by the sources cited, that is, that it is attempting to link these two subjects in a way that they may not explicitly be. Ducknish (talk) 03:10, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Specifically, I agree that including [everything] "that someone has called "neo-fascist" and that has some kind of relationship to something religious" is a problem. In many cases the noe-fascist label is disputed and is not the standard way of describing the phenomenas (like for instance Wahabism). The overall impression is that the article doesn't present a well defined academic view or theory, but is mixing a lot of things in order to give a rather original presentation; the article appears pretty pseudo-intellectual, and frankly, bears a resememblance to schoolboy essays.
