[edit] Prayer Warrior

Prayer Warrior (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

OR/neologism, unsourced and lacking any inbound links to boot. -choster 14:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Dicdef, but it also kind of rambles in that regard. Term tends toward notability within certain sects of Christianity. --Dennisthe2 17:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Seems a notable neologism (202,000 Google hits for "prayer warrior") ([1]) Granted, the current article is awful, but that's not a criterion for deletion, rather for some tagging. --Dweller 17:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • It's not a neologism - it's been around since at least the 1800s and the time of John Darby, et al, if not before. --BigDT 12:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - it's not a neologism at all, and not really OR. This is a term in wide use in some Christian circles. That doesn't help the article in its current state at all, though. -- Bpmullins | Talk 17:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment The phrase seems widely used, but, at the same time, it doesn't seem to be used with any sort of consistent definition. No opinion, but can anyone say definitively that there's a common usage for this term? GassyGuy 19:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to prayer without prejudice to the possible recreation of a proper referenced article at a later date.--Doc^g 01:40, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

  Comment. That argument falls under Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Problem_articles_where_deletion_may_not_be_needed. --Dweller 10:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect tot prayer. — mark ✎ 10:29, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep, considering that it is a common enough term, there have been no valid reasons for deletion proposed. —siroχo 11:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice - a prayer warrior is a person who engages in spiritual warfare. But this is more a personal essay than it is an encyclopedic article. There is no content here worth preserving ... and as a redirect, the capitalization is wrong. --BigDT 12:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete pending references and cleanup As is the article is unreferenced. Delete unless independent references are provided for verification. At that point, I'd reconsider whether to keep/delete. Dugwiki 20:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

  I'm still learning policy, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but my reading of Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Problem_articles_where_deletion_may_not_be_needed is that lack of references is not grounds for deletion. --Dweller 11:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

  Depends. Lack of reliable sources is not a valid reason, but if there's doubt that said sources exist, that's a deletion reason as the topic would run afoul of WP:V. GassyGuy 07:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

  With 1.3million Google hits as of today, it seems likely there's at least one or two reliable sources. --Dweller 13:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

  Then I would suggesr adding one to the article. GassyGuy 13:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to prayer or Spiritual warfare, if there is anything worth keeping in there. — Rickyrab | Talk 03:04, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
