Social Christianity

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Page of empty sections created 3 months ago and since edited only by contributors pointing out it is a useless page Ros0709 22:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Unless some one decides to come and fill the articles sections and add references. Tarret 23:37, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Incomplete article. And btw, it has a accompanying category that will need to be deleted as well. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 09:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - This has the potential to be an intersting article. It would be a pity that it should be deleted, but if no one is going to write it, I suppose it must be.  I assume the creator has been warned of this debate; if not, he should be and deletion delayed.  The article should also be tagged as a stub for a reasonable time before deletion.  If nothing happens within (say) a month, it should be  'prod'ded.   Peterkingiron 09:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I (the nominator for the article's deletion) agree with your comments. I am hoping the nomination will prompt the completion of the article. The creator was notified by a bot but one other contributor (user:Ayokunle) vigorously defended it in the edit history and at your suggestion I have added a comment to his talk page. I have also added a stub tag. Ros0709 11:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * &emsp; Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  &emsp; Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mailer Diablo 12:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - The page has now been given content and the original reasons I cited for deletion no longer apply. Ros0709 13:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. There is ample information available on this topic if one looks online, but doing so also reveals that this is essentially the same topic as Social Gospel and the terms appear to be interchangeable.  This article itself appears to be a original research piece that attempts to unify a number of disparate Christianity topics together.  While some, such as Social Gospel and Christian Socialism do obviously share some common roots, tying things like Ecumenism and Liberation theology is a bit more specious and almost certainly OR.  Given these articles already have a decent start of their own, the author(s) of this article ought to focus on improving those through better sourcing rather than attempting to create an umbrella term to bring them all together.  Therefore, without any sourcing to suggest that this is anything but the authors original research, it must be deleted.  A subsequent CFD and TFD ought to be filed on the category and template if this is closed as a delete, and I may in fact do so before hand.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 15:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is just silly. It's a mass of unsourced original research, attempting to shoehorn a bunch of groups with nothing much in common together. I'm sure every faction of every religion ever would "feel that they should be an ethical voice" -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  17:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Social gospel. It seems to be the same general idea.  Bearian 18:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * delete, OR, othing to merge (unreferenced), simply redirect to Social gospel Mukadderat 21:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge anything useful per Bearian. --Kirby♥time 20:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Arkyan. --Greatestrowerever 10:37, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
