Themes of Christianity in hip hop and rap music

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

What appears to be someone's personal essay, that is pretty much entirely WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Note that only one of the sources being used as inline citations even remotely talks about the topic, the rest being either just song lyrics or sources on specific parts of the topic (i.e. entirely on rap or entirely on Christianity) that are being used to WP:SYNTH together statements. While I highly suspect the topic is a notable one, any article on it would have to be rewritten from scratch, and this article that is entirely one person's original research should not stay in the article space. The article was PRODed a year ago by another user for the same concerns of original research, but was deproded due to it being a non-controversial deletion, so I am bringing it to AFD for discussion.

 * Delete There seems to be a surprising amount of literature on the subject. So a worthwhile article could almost certainly be written. But this looks indeed like complete WP:OR. -- Random person no 362478479 (talk) 18:26, 27 April 2023 (UTC)


 * TNT, the topic has actual literature covering it, but this essay in its current form is mostly WP:OR. I'm genuinely sad for the person who spent their time and effort writing it, and I think it would be worth being saved somewhere - just not necessarily on Wikipedia. I hope they'll be able to familiarize themselves with how Wikipedia articles are usually written and become a great contributor! Chaotic Enby (talk) 00:00, 28 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment This is not a personal essay, but a singular output for Wiki Ed/University of San Francisco/Oral and Written Communication Section 17 (Fall 2016).  submitted this as a student, and has not edited since.. — Maile  (talk) 03:27, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
