Political science of religion

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article reeks of original research. There is no reference to a source which even uses the term 'political science of religion'. Furthermore, the article is full of unsourced claims. This does not seem like a generally accepted field of political science, but the article is trying to make it into one. Keepcalmandchill (talk) 02:04, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Delete This makes no sense. ⌚️ (talk) 02:08, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete even if this article could be rescued, its title has a uselessly broad scope - every religion has different politics - so why keep this turd? Elizium23 (talk) 02:12, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Almost certainly mostly OR in its current state. Term appears to be in some sort of use, as evidenced by articles I found with titles "Political Science of Religion: Demarcating the Field" and "Do We Need a ‘Political Science of Religion’?", but this article would not be the right way to cover this topic.  TNT delete, and if this topic is a notable one, a functional article can be made by another editor. Hog Farm (talk) 03:54, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete because I'm not convinced why this article needs to exist when we already have Religion in politics. -- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;  05:43, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - not trying to justify the article's existence at all (it's in a really terrible state), but you do realise politics and political science are different things? Bookscale (talk) 11:26, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per WP:SNOWBALL or whatever it is. As I don't see five keep votes in a row coming along. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:20, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as a WP:SYNTH creation at best. The article's unsupported claims are quite problematic. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:09, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete -- The whole thing has the feel of a NEOLOGISM, or perhaps the initial proposal submitted by a doctoral student for his university to approve his research programme. Not encyclopedic.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:46, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

The article should not be deleted because it reveals the nature of deliberate use of religion as a part of "Psychological Operations" to manipulate public opinion by politicians. The specific examples can be found in every culture, but this is a level of specific analysis in sociology and political science and definitely deserves to have its own entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.23.87.189 (talk) 18:23, 12 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - ngram viewer results cannot be found for the term.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 05:06, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
