 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. This discussion seems to be a mashup of a deletion and move discussion and isn't doing either of them particularly well. Since it seems like a page move might obviate the need for deletion, perhaps going through that process will get to a consensus outcome. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:53, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Rise of the Evangelical Church in Latin America

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Lots of the conclusions that the article gets are borderline original research. The author is well versed and certainly the information required a thoughtful investigation, however a lot of it still falls under OR. Also is redundant as other articles like Evangelical political parties in Latin America and Christian right which say more or less the same already exist. --CDLCR (talk) 17:23, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Potential Keep -- This is an important subject, but I am suspicious that this article is pushing a particular POV, with a political agenda, though I may be wrong. Freston looks to me like an academic work, so that if the article is firmly based on that book it is likely to be OK.  Some of the origins of the Pentecostal church in south America results from members emigrating with a view to evangelising.  Evangelical political parties in Latin America has the feel to me of an ATTACK article highlighting the wrongs of a few prominent pastors.  Christian Right seems largely to be about USA with attempts to co-opt from the politics of other countries.  On the whole the present article is probably the best of the bunch.

 * Peterkingiron the two articles use to be one, I split them because with a change of name the original article stoped been about politics and was more about history/religion. The attacks on the pastors was not added by me tho. --Dereck Camacho (talk) 19:09, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Neutral, most of the important content is already in the other article. --Dereck Camacho (talk) 19:09, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete ('and/or merge and redirect') per arguments presented and WP:OVERLAP this is already covered. I do not find any reason for a stand alone article.  There are multiple incoming links, the redirect(s) could be painful to work out. Jeepday (talk) 14:59, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment This article needs a better title if its going to be kept, "Rise of ____" sounds like a movie title worthy of a superhero/villain, not a Wikipedia article.★Trekker (talk) 19:03, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * ★Trekker, the original title was Evangelical Christian politics in Latin America, it was renamed to the current one by P.I. Ellsworth  after a move request by another user. I requested a move (you can see the discussion here but it was closed for no consensus reasons. Obviously I disagree with the current title and opposed the change to begin with. --Dereck Camacho (talk) 03:22, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge into Religion_in_Latin_America, or else keep due to GNG.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 06:05, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Agree with ideas noted by . There might also be a need to rename this article per and ; however, that is a separate issue and can be handled by a new move request. See no need to merge this article with another page.  P.I. Ellsworth    ed.  put'r there 17:48, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, with different title: Per users Peterkingiron and Paine Ellsworth. The article topic is notable and thus meets WP:GNG, and "Evangelical political parties in Latin America" focuses on the political aspect of the movement while this article is more comprehensive in scope. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 04:12, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
