Was initially created based on a single primary source from the Baha'i faith then has become bait for original research and grew. Was slightly discussed before here and here, I finally decided to nominate it. —Paleo Neonate – 21:45, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - Sure seems awfully redundant to list of founders of religious traditions, which also has tables for additional information. Not saying merge because it's unclear how much of this would be appropriate there. I'd recommend keeping the history and anyone who wants to merge can propose doing so on the other article's talk page (or be bold independent of this AfD). — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:22, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Rename - Can it be renamed to "Comparison of the founders of religious traditions (Bahá'í view)"? Wiki-uk (talk) 16:51, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect - the article is well intentioned but the structure and categories introduce a POV about the unity of religions. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 17:18, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per
WP:CHEAP as suggeseted by Rhododendrites. Bearian (talk) 20:43, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply

Redirect. Agree with Rhododendrites. This is an Essayish comparison - might be something worth merging - that can be done after the redirect. The rename wouldn't work here as while this seems to be the Bahá'í view, it is sourced (for other religions) to non-Bahá'í sources.Icewhiz (talk) 06:20, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per the above, I agree a rename won't work. Doug Weller talk 18:36, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- This is a very peculiar table. It is not an obvious search term, so that a redirect does not seem useful, but I would not oppose that. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:38, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per
WP:AGF (I did not check the sources). This is actually a comparison, not a list. Not a content fork to the list of founders of religious traditions. My very best wishes (talk) 04:29, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply

Redirect The form doesn't work, the topic is too complex, for example the "event" column states a lot of startling things in WP:s voice and internal/external is too simplified. And what religion did they start? An article based on scolarly sources that discuss the topic could possibly be written, this grid-structure needs simple stuff to work with, like place in time and geography. "Comparing" Muhammad to Buddha is harder. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:31, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per
