[edit] Slavic Christians

Slavic Christians (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I can't see the purpose for this article. What is "the Slavic tribe of the Pontic-Caspian steppe of Middle Asia to the Eastern Bloc (including Poland) and Balkin Slavic Tribes"? That's entirely beyond my understanding. --Ghirla-трёп- 19:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep. "I don't understand it" is not a reason for deletion. I don't really understand this album myself, but it seems like the article must mean something to someone. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Nom's comments aren't good enough, but MrZaius' comments below are. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Nom's a touch out of line, but the article lacks any assertion of note, completely lacks references, is poorly explained/lacks context, and all of its External links are borderline irrelevant, links to official sites of churches that the initial author apparently thought related, but that do not discuss the concept at all. Considerable overlap with Slavic peoples, which seems to deal with the topic much more clearly, although it too lacks sources. Did a good faith search for the phrase for which the article is named, but found very little that wasn't talking about a novievangelist movement. Barring major cleanup, delete.

  • Delete per MrZaius. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 20:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, seems like a coatrack of loosely-connected topics. The article links to Eastern Orthodox sources but we have History of the Eastern Orthodox Church as well as History of Christianity in Ukraine and Christianity in Kazakhstan. There are doubtless articles on individual splinter sects, but just being Slavic isn't a good reason to connect these different topics. --Dhartung | Talk 21:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above. The number of much fuller articles that this overlaps with could be extended very considerably. A very short article on a very large topic, that does not even link to the fuller ones. Johnbod 23:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. 100% WP:OR. This umbrella term is totally made up. A Slavic Christian is a Christian who happens to be a Slav, or vice-versa. And just WTF are the "Eastern bloc" and "Balkin Slavic tribes"? What next, Blond bespectacled Jewish coffee-drinking Rottweiler-loving African tribes? What a ridiculous association of unrelated topics. --Targeman 17:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
