Postmodern Christianity

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Violates WP:No original research. Sources do not establish that there is such a thing as "postmodern Christianity" and mostly do not use the expression. Article is divided into sections about various aspects of modern Christianity, but OR is used to say that taken together these things add up to "postmodern Christianity."

 * Keep Article is poor, but the topic is a worthy one. The term has been around for a while and is easily found in various sources.  Hopefully an interested party can improve it. Wickedjacob (talk) 14:03, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete As a kind of SYNTHESIS of various articles. People might talk about postmodern Christianity refering to Christianity they happen to describe as postmodern, but there aren't many sources discussing Postmodern Christianity as an entity. --Pontificalibus (talk) 14:37, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. This would appear to be a content dispute instead of a notability dispute. Proverbs 6:6 --Shirt58 (talk) 15:27, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No, it's not about content. The subject is not notable. And what has Proverbs 6:6 got to do with it? --Pontificalibus (talk) 15:32, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - why is this being proposed for deletion at the same time as postmodern religion - see next afd below. This links to the subcategory postmodern religion also being proposed for deletion -  which links to philosophy - postmodernism and religion
 * You can't just exclude religion from the subject of postmodernism
 * Keep While the article could use more and better sources, the refimprove tag was only added today. No reason to delete it yet. YardsGreen (talk) 11:50, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * We don't need to have tags on articles for any length of time before deleting them. People can look for sources right now. I did and didn't find significant coverage. --Pontificalibus (talk) 11:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, there are no sources that support that any of the included forms of Christianity have ever been referred to, individually or collectively, as "Postmodern Christianity". The writer of this essay is projecting Postmodernity onto these forms and philosophies, or at least has failed to provide sources to support the whole edifice.

 * Keep. ISBN 9781563383649 is a book with this exact title from an academic publisher. If the topic can support a 174-page book then it can certainly support an encyclopedia article. Plenty more books and peer-reviewed articles about the subject can be found by simply following the search links spoon-fed in the nomination. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Good find. Yworo (talk) 23:36, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. 1. as said before it is a content issue, 2. the topic and term exist in the literature and in theological debates really (actually, factually, against all reason etc.), although both are malformed, but that's not the article's fault. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 21:48, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
