The Secret Gospel of Mark and the Synoptic Problem

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Essentially an essay on an "obscure" (per article creator) theory. Secret Mark is notable. The Synoptic problem is notable. This shotgun wedding of the two, however, does not produce a legitimately notable topic. Of the sources in the article, only Koester (the theory's originator) directly addresses the topic.

 * Delete - given that Morton Smith's hoax is covered already in a separate article there is no need for a fork. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:04, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Synthesis, original research, a combined topic that isn't uniquely notable. Nwlaw63 (talk) 04:13, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable fork, any useful contents can be merged. "This article will analyse" = original research. JMK (talk) 06:02, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete — Too little notability to merit its own article. --SlothMcCarty (talk) 04:29, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
