I cannot find any source on the Biblical harmony article, whether on its title or on its subject, i.e. I found no RS discussing what is described in the article, independently of the title of the WP article. And so far the article has not been attributed any source over its 14 years of existence. Moreover, as pointed out in 2014, the article seems to be redundant with other similar articles, so maybe the article was created by mistake.
I asked on the WikiProject Christianity one month ago if someone had more information, and no one has replied so far.
I recommend deletion. A redirect to Gospel harmony would be a bad idea, as gospel harmonies are never called "Bible harmonies". Veverve (talk) 12:12, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment a simple search turns up many instances of biblical harmonies, such as this and this. There is clearly a secondary literature describing them such as this and this, so without specialist knowledge or confidence about really appropriate sources, I’d still be inclined to keep.

@Mccapra: those are all forms of gospel harmonies so they have nothing to do with the article I nominated. The only exception is this one, which is unclear as to whether it discusses a singular attempt at something or an attempt which is part of a whole alleged "biblical harmony" genre.

Comment -- This involves trying to put various accounts from books of the Hebrew Bible or New Testament in chronological order. What we have in the article is an extended dictionary definition. At home I have something called Townshend's Bible, which is an 19th century attempt at this. I do not think this is an article that needs references.

Delete, given the absence of relevant sources in the article. If there were sources, I would still think that this would probably best be merged and redirected somewhere. BD2412 T 00:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete I see little evidence for biblical harmony as a "hermeneutic method" in reliable sources on biblical criticism. The contents of the article, if better-sourced, should still probably be merged into Biblical paraphrase or Gospel harmony, the former of which especially needs significant expansion in its own right.
