Christian Church - Synod of Saint Timothy[edit]

Non-notable, tiny denomination with only four communities.[1] Multiple articles have been created relating to this group, including a whole category, making this group and things particular to it appear much more prominent than is actual. Other articles created pertaining to this group: Christocephalous, Ecumenical Orthodox Catholic Communion, Gracetide, Society of Saint Timothy, Timothean Rite, and Titusian Rite. Appears to be essentially a group of vanity articles written by one of the group's clergy. —Preost ^talk contribs 00:00, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Weak delete. Evenif it's small, I don't have a problem with it, except that it is unverified. The only evidence that I can find in a quick check is its website, this article and a few board posts. I'll change my vote if this changes. --Apyule 05:38, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. As you say, tiny and non-notable and will probably go the way of most such groups in the next couple of years. I'm therefore almost inclined to simply wait until it goes away and delete the articles then. In any event, it clearly doesn't deserve the prominent mention it had in articles like Divine Liturgy where the editor tried to put it on par with churches like Eastern Orthodoxy. Absent that, even the plethora of articles and categories is kind of lost in Wiki's sheer volume and it loses much of its earlier prominence.

  • Comment: If the page at which the nomination is directed is deleted, is it understood that the other pages mentioned in the nomination should be deleted as well, and the category besides? TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:56, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I think that that's resonable, can these be added to the AfD officially? --Apyule 02:44, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• How would one do that? Add a notice to all the other articles? ——Preost ^talk contribs 21:20, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I've never done it, but I guess that you would move this bage to something like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian Church - Synod of Saint Timothy articles, then add a notice to each page, manually changing each to go to here rather than its own page. --Apyule 01:41, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: If we use Google for general subjects, Allmusic for bands, I use the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church for theological matters, and this group doesn't make it there. Granted, it would be nice if there were another not-paper specialty site for religious subjects, but from what I can gather this is a revival of a fairly ancient...alternative view...of the monophysite sort. Too much e-presence and not enough real presence. When they are widely documented and discussed by real world sources, they will be appropriate. Until then, unverifiable.

• Delete. This group appears to be sustained mainly by their own network of webpages. There is no secondary source coverage, which means this group of articles is non-verifiable and is inherently POV. Nothing asserted in these articles has any independent verification. The "Ecumenical Orthodox Catholic Communion" seems to be currently sustained on a geocities homepage, and doesn't seem to be distinguishable from a single-person project.
