[edit] Jesus Christ the Logos

Original research - article whose sole purpose is to argue a theological position. NawlinWiki 15:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

    • Comment When I nominated this article, the first thing you saw was an argument: Chalcedonian Christology is not a Syncretism with Platonism. A diligent user has since edited the article so that it's descriptive rather than argumentative. I'm not an expert on this, but it may be that the problem has been solved.

      I was that "diligent" user. There is still an NPOV issue hidden in the tail that I could not easily massage away, but it is not overwhelming and will hopefully be dealt with in the normal way. --LambiamTalk 20:59, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:OR especially. Changing my vote to Keep per GRberry below. --Kuzaar-T-C- 15:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Q- What did the casual observer say when he walked into the graphic design convention? --Kuzaar-T-C- 19:00, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. David L Rattigan 16:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Doesn't argue a theological position; it explains one. It's encyclopedic, NPOV, and educational. (NB: the apparent four delete votes above are duplicates from two editors.) --The Editrix 20:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
    • There are only two delete votes above (excluding the nominator). David L Rattigan 21:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep after Lambian's edits. hateless 21:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. I see there is already an article on the Logos, which overlaps with this article considerably. Possible merge? David L Rattigan 21:43, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Per the history, it sure looked like OR at first. But the best outcome of an AFD discussion is an improved article - nice job Lambian. It is now encyclopedic, mostly NPOV, educational, and better verified than most articles here. (In fact it would look more like a Wikipedia article if we lost the non-references from the bibilography.) If merged to Logos it would create an undue weight problem in that article. It might reasonably become a child article of it, however, possibly merging some of the relevant section there into this article. GRBerry 01:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as per above Scented Guano 05:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Hateless. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Do not merge with logos, the two are completely un-related. Merge with the myth of Jesus Christ, but not a Greek concept introduced by Heraclitus some 500 years before. Typical Christian attempt to monopolize all original thought that came before it.
