St. Sophia, Mother of the Virgin Martyrs

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced orphan. Somewhat cryptic. Has the appearance of a fabrication. Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The 17:53, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Keep (or merge). An extremely poorly written article, to be sure, but that could be improved. Definitely not a fabrication -- though perhaps the importance of the martyrs Faith, Hope, and Charity (and their mother Sophia) has been stronger in eastern christianity than in western. As a compromise, the material could be merged with Faith, Hope, and Charity and this article redirected.70.74.14.67 (talk) 18:36, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Although I'm familiar with St Paul's letter to the Corinthians, I'd never heard the legend that they corresponded to real people. Odd really.  I do think a merge would be more appropriate unless better material independent of the content of the article Faith, Hope and Charity (which is well written) can be found. --Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The 21:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Later: I concur with Deor. Sophia the Martyr is a good candidate for a redirect target. --Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The 13:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Sophia the Martyr, another article on the same topic. (This article actually existed first, apparently, but Sophia the Martyr is clearly better written.) Since this article gives no sources for its detailed description of the martyrdom, there's nothing to merge that I can see. Deor (talk) 12:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
