The result was no consensus. An initial headcount gives this result: delete 13½, redirect 1, merge 1½, keep 8 (discounting the opinions of Pontiff Greg Bard and Josh Keen for making no policy-based argument). This means we have prima facie a no consensus situation, so I have to examine the "delete" arguments advanced to determine whether any of them mandates deletion without respect to consensus or outweighs all "keep" arguments. I find that this is not the case. The arguments advanced for deletion are principally WP:COATRACK and WP:SYNTH, but many people who want to keep the article argue that it can be rewritten to address these concerns. The discussion is therefore closed with a result of "no consensus to delete", but may be renominated in a few months if the article is not rewritten and/or renamed to address any SYNTH/COAT concerns.

A classic coatrack. Yes, let's throw in the Lebanese Civil War with Guy Fawkes with the Klan and with Ugandan rebels, and voilà, "Christian violence". No doubt, plenty of violence has been committed by Christians over the last 2 millennia, some of it in the name of the Christian religion. But it seems preferable to treat each notable instance as a discrete topic, rather than linking them all where no one else has done so. Biruitorul Talk 15:07, 15 July 2009 (UTC) reply
