[edit] OrthodoxWiki

Non-notable Wiki with no reliable sources and only 17 unique Google hits. Old AFDs can be found here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OrthodoxWiki, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OrthodoxWiki (2nd nomination). Article was kept despite previously for the sole reason that it was a wiki and keep "voters" never addressed the nominators' concerns in either case. Delete as not meeting WP:WEB and with no reliable sources. Wickethewok 13:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Its already listed there btw and there's really not much info to merge. Wickethewok 14:01, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
When it was first nominated the article on Christian wikis either wasn't mentioned or I missed it. Now that I know of it I'd go with redirect to Christian wikis as well.--T. Anthony 02:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I'd like to give my reasoning here: first of all, I may be new to this, but it seems to me that if the article has survived two prior attempts at deletion that it must be pretty solid.

Secondly, the number of articles the OrthodoxWiki boasts stands by itself as a strong indicator of the site's notability.

Thirdly, we are are in fact discussing a Wiki devoted to an entire religious subgrouping, which I would imagine merits at least some sort of mention. I cannot conceive of why anyone would wish to get rid of this. To those voting to delete this article, I would ask you to please thoroughly explain what led you to your decision, that I may better understand where the debate is.

I voted keep when it was first nominated and considered doing so again. However it seems unlikely the article will ever be more than a stub. As such it can be dealt with in the Christian wikis article. There are several articles that work better as part of another article rather than on their own. See what Church of the Last Testament or Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon leads you to.(not great analogies I know)--T. Anthony 05:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • KEEP Afterall, this page leads to articles concerning the second largest Christian denomination in the world. It isn't hurting anyone being present which leads me to believe that the root of this deletion process is some sort of religious persecution. Lets cut that out and quit going after something just because you don't like it. The whole point of an encyclopedia afterall is to have information regarding EVERYTHING. rlxdgrk17:30, 23 August 2006 — Possible single purpose account: rlxdgrk (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic.
