Karma in Christianity[edit]

Original author describes it as a content fork that was rejected by consensus at Karma [1], what I would call a POV Fork. Has been tagged as lacking sources for a year and a half, and without seeing any substantial sources on this topic (and I haven't), it sure seems like original research to me.

I don't read Spanish well, but I'm not much impressed with the Spanish page used as a source. The two English language web pages might be sources for an article on "Karma in Rosicrucianism" but they aren't good sources for this article. There might be sources out there ... but the current state of the article is not impressive. I'm not sure the article manages to actually convey more information than the current section Karma#Western interpretation of the main article. GRBerry 18:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete That "Spanish" page is actually Portuguese, my native language. But your instincts are correct - it's nothing to be impressed about. This article needs a serious rewrite before notability is confirmed. Ecoleetage (talk) 19:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That might explain some of my difficulty; I thought I was better with Spanish than that! GRBerry 20:34, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is not much more than "here are some things in Christianity that are like karma". Nothing indicating that any of them has really been the object of serious scholarly comparison. --Dhartung | Talk 22:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Here are some things in AfD that are Delete." Reads like an essay. Relevant content (if any) should be cleaned up(not part of AfD, by the way) and added to Karma. I doubt there'd be enough to violate WP:UNDUE. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther!♠/♦ 23:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Dhartung's reasons. No sources, just a bit of comparison. That and the fact that even this article says that most Christians believe the doctrine of karma to be heretical, an article on "karma in Christianity" isn't warranted. Kristamaranatha (talk) 04:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
