[edit] Christianity and Buddhism

Christianity and Buddhism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Delete— has very little information and is unnecessary given the articles on Christianity and Buddha. Why combine these two religions into an article?. — RunningAway 06:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep This article was nominated for deletion on 25 October 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.Please see the deletion debate at [1] The content has been the subject of a harsh revert war recently and most of it recently blanked. Please look back through the history of the last several edits. There is a long scholarly history of comparative religion, taught at major universities, comparing the doctrines and beliefs of Christianity with those of Buddhism. This is an important and encyclopedic topic, but the article is obviously undergoing a polemic edit war. Those who have studied comparative religion should take a look at the article and use Wikipedia edit policies, and perhaps RFC to straighten out the POV edit warring going on. Keep the article, perhaps bring disruptive editors under control using the tools available. There is clearly information relevant to the interaction of Christianity and Buddhism that is better located here than in the two separate articles. Edison 14:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • keep strong correlation between the 2 religions
  • Delete this is just indiscriminate waffle and is going to be POV and OR hell. Can I just pick any two political or religious topics and give them a joint article? Makes for a good essay, but a rubbish article. We can record the field of Comparative religion elsewhere.-Docg 00:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Looking back at the article history, this is either going to be a permanent stub or a messy collection of OR. Tevildo 02:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Although it is a pale shadow of what the article should be, there is a good potential in this topic if it can be written with NPOV. GB 03:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Comparison is inherently OR. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 03:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and every reason after a delete vote. If you're going to write an article of this magnitude, make sure you have something to say first. MiracleMat 08:11, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • keepA good article on the comparision of Christianity to buddhism could be written. Article has good potential.--Sefringle 03:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as OR crap— OLP1999 04:20, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. -- Wikipedical 05:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't see anyway to write this article without extensive OR. Further, I'm not sure what it could add that is not already in the Buddhism & Christianity articles. Pastordavid 23:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • keep Once more I see possibly religious reason why it may be desired to delete the article; there are other artticles comparing religions, and there is even some historical connections. DGG 07:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Comparative study between Buddhism and Christianity is historical and there is a lot of existing information out there on the subject. Interest in the subject is both academic and practical, as some people practice a mix of traditions. The article could be greatly improved if references are used and it is written from a NPOV.

  • Delete — If the information is important in the article than jst put it in the Christianity and Buddhism articles. Wizardman 17:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
