[edit] Christianity in North Africa

Christianity in North Africa (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Contested Prod. Article started with blatant soapboxing, OR, POV. After that was removed (when Prod was removed), what's left is an unsourced text dump of an interview, apparently copied from here. Not a copyvio, as the page grants free reproduction permission. Nothing remotely encyclopedic.Fan-1967 05:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Article fails, as far as I can tell, nearly all wikipedia guidelines. Article does not abide by wikipedia standards, guidelines, style of writing, or formatting. A proper article *may* be able to be created on this topic, but from where I sit the article is unsalvageable in its current form. The article needs to be scrapped and perhaps, at a later time, the author could strive for a stub quality article that follows established wiki guidelines. wtfunkymonkey 05:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• The only source of the article is a website that, based on their home page, could never remotely be cited as a Reliable Source. I have reverted edits to Christianity based on the same material. Fan-1967 05:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• comment; I find it interesting that this article, called Christianity in North Africa, seems to be about Muslims. -- wtfunkymonkey 05:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• It keeps getting chopped and re-edited. It's about claims that 6 million muslims a year are converting. Fan-1967 06:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• While the subject could prove worthy of an encyclopedic article, this sure as spod ain't it. Delete unless it improves to something that doesn't froth at the mouth by the close of this afd. Grutness...wha? 05:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as a personal essay or rant. JIP | Talk 06:23, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Wot, no Saint Augustine? Doesn't do what it says on the label. Just a soapbox rant. Nothing here to save even for a stub. --Folantin 08:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Christianity in Africa, which should contain info on North Africa. I don't really see anything here worth merging, though. --BigDT 13:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• A good article could be written on this topic referencing St Augustine and Coptic Christianity amongst other topics. This isn't it nor does it provide the basis for such an article. For now, it should be redirected to Christianity in Africa which itself requires extensive work. Capitalistroadster 01:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Christianity in Africa, which should contain a section called "North Africa". When substantial material accumulates there, then the article should be split off.Bless sins 22:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or Redirect as above. There are certainly grounds - both historical and cultural - for establishing a split between the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa, but this needs to be expunged. Eusebeus 08:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
