 * The issues are explicitly not reasons for deletion. WP:DEL-REASON. Not saying it's not worth nominating, but you may want to add to your deletion rationale. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 15:19, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep but I accept that this article needs a lot of work to be done on it. I think that it could do with a new title such as "Religion in young adulthood" - the talk page does query the use of the phrase "emerging adults". Vorbee (talk) 17:25, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP and Vorbee. - GretLomborg (talk) 20:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a repository for college essays, which is what this appears to be. With extensive rework, the topic may be suitable for its own article, but this really doesn't look like the base for that. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:25, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. It is obviously an essay (and one with OR synthesis since there are plenty of religion articles that could contain - and may already contain - any of its useful content, and an essay that is flawed to boot since what is applicable to one group of IPU believers would not be applicable to all yet the essay makes no such allowances).

 * Delete on the grounds that this is an essay, not an encyclopedia entry, and it is an essay based on a handful of sources that likely present a narrow view of the subject. Famous  dog   (c) 07:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Original essay, not an encyclopedic topic. Carrite (talk) 15:39, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia policy states that original essays and original research should not be included as articles. I do not see this as a cleanup issue.  Malinaccier  ( talk ) 00:10, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
