[edit] Christian novel

Dictionary definition of Christian applied to the noun novel. Made to promote the website link, maybe? Magdela 19:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. The link is somewhat irrelavent anyhow.--Adam ^(talk) 20:33, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no WP:V information that this is an established genre. Some inference perhaps from the Christy Award, but I'm not convinced that is in anyway notable. An author also wrote a "how-to" guide for writing christian novels... but that's about the extent of it. I need to see credible evidence that this is an established genre.--Isotope23 20:34, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I guess, but I am astonished that there is no article for either Christian fiction or Christian literature to which we could redirect. DJ Clayworth 21:54, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• • Possibly a redirect to Christian mythology would serve. If you look down that page it appears to cover Christian fiction to some degree. If the page then became sufficiently expanded, this topic could be forked back off. :) — RJH 16:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm going to take it on myself to start Christian literature, make Christian fiction redirect to it, and eventually I'll make this page redirect there. (Mythology is hugely different from fiction, by the way) DJ Clayworth 19:28, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Change my vote to keep. On reflection there are enough Christian novels that the history of them should be interesting enough to deserve an article. The current article doesn't say much, but that just means it's a stub. I'm also realising what a huge subject Christian literature is. I know nowhere near enough to even start a stub overview that would not be laughed at by anyone with any knowledge. Still, I guess we have to start somewhere.

• Keep per DJ Clayworth. --Malthusian (talk) 12:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
