[edit] Persecution of Heathens

Persecution of Heathens (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Delete - Redundant material, Original Research, etc. The material in this entry is over-lapping so many articles that some of them need to be removed. Most of the content at Persecution of Heathens is at Persecution of Germanic Pagans and Christianization of Scandinavia and could be merged into Witch-hunt. Furthermore, someone seems to have confused Neopaganism with Paganism. - WeniWidiWiki 18:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Not to mention, I don't know of too many people who self-identify as "heathens." Whose definition are we using? Medieval Christianity occassionally said that "Muslim=heathen", and likewise in the opposite direction. And all non-monotheistic religion (Taoism, Buddhism, Native American, Hindu, etc) was called "heathen" by adherents of monotheistic religions. So ... persecution of whom ... and also by whom?

• Keep, the stated reasons are arguments for a cleanup, not deletion. // Liftarn 12:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep, although the article is stubby it can quite readily be extended. A working definition of "heathen" for the purposes of the article can be agreed.Itsmejudith 16:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• delete. redundant, inherently biased and disingenious. lumps together things that are entirely unconnected. dab (𒁳) 17:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep rewrite and extend rather than delete outright. The topic is proper, article content can be improved. Killroy4 16:05, 21 January 2007 (UTC) — Killroy4 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• delete as per redundancy and rambling incoherency. --Isolani 14:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
