The result was keep. Frankly, the two "delete" opinions make no sense at all. What obvious reasons? Sandstein ( talk) 00:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC) reply
This article has no content except what is in the many other articles on the Virgin Mary. There is no sign of authors knowlegeble of Protestant views of Mary to improve it. Carlaude ( talk) 13:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC) reply
No content? This article already contains more soures than other stubs featured in Project Christianity. More are on the way. No authors knowledgeable of Protestant views? I take issue with that. At any rate, few members of the wiki community have had a chance to add to it yet. Give it time. -- Mordecai99 ( talk) 14:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC) reply

I do not understand, why our fellow traveler Carlaude first contributes actively to this (new) topic, changes its name, and then requests deletion? AFTER his deletion request on May 6, our friend was busy linking Protestant views of Mary to several other mariological pages ( see: Marian doctrines of the Catholic Church, Anglican Marian theology, Mariology, Blessed Virgin Mary , Mary (Mother of Jesus) and others. Why??? Carlaude likes to engage long debates on the talk pages of Blessed Virgin Mary and Christian views of Mary Contrasted. Why not talk first to the author of the day old article in a friendly manner?
Sorry, but maybe he can explain to us, why a new article, he contributed to, should be deleted, and, why he made all these links after his deletion requests? I am too dumb to understand. -:)) -- Ambrosius007 ( talk) 21:24, 7 May 2008 (UTC) reply
From the History of Protestant views of Mary
, although it looks like there's a recognition that this needs to be fixed.
-- Strong keep. I agree with Mandsford, the article is moving in the right direction, needs more work and time to develop. The request for deletion was made within one day of the creation of the article without any previous discussion.
Maybe we should have a Wikipedia policy to give new articles a chance - unless they are obnoxious or highly insulting of course. My own articles all developed over time. None of them was perfect day one. There is such a thing as "start up". Let's build up, rather than tear down! -- Ambrosius007 ( talk) 13:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC) reply
Keep and Improve. I do not know this topic, and would like to understand it. I have been hoping that someone with that knowledge will write more and/or improve this article. Is there a way to advertise on Wikipedia for a protestant expert who will improve this article and do everyone a lot of good? Instead of a deletion tag, this article needs a please improve tag.
