This was deleted per an expired prod. It was undeleted via WP:REFUND, after an IP editor (presumably the article creator) said "I have gathered some reliable data on subject and now can make my article more scientific". However, it's been a few days and nothing has been done. As it stands, the article still consists solely of original research and personal opinion.

Delete (obviously). Nom is right on the history and the content. The lede - "economic activities based on the teachings of Jesus Christ" - doesn't even match the premise of the title which is about economics and Christianity generally (not limited to the teachings of Jesus Christ). Base economics on the teachings of Jesus Christ in particular and you get this lovely Caravaggio here. I saw this in the AFD log and first thought StAnselm had nominated something akin to Islamic finance (Islamic economic jurisprudence) for deletion. I should have known better! (Sorry!) One look is enough to discern that this original research has no place here. There are a range of articles that relate to economic theory and Christianity - the author should feel free to contribute to those. Stalwart111 01:13, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. To the extent that this is not simply a personal WP:ESSAY, it seems to be about a specifically Russian Orthodox approach to economics. However, apart from the one Russian paper cited in the article, I can find no literature to suggest that this approach is notable (at least, not yet). Other Russian sources may exist, but it seems the article author left Wikipedia a year ago, so we can't expect anyone to look for them. -- 101.119.14.135 (talk) 01:50, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a perfectly reasonable opinion piece based upon text from a revered book, but it is not more than an opinion piece. It's great blog material but is not valid Wikipedia material. Fails as WP:OR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timtrent (talk • contribs) 11:47, 2 November 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]
Delete Failed promise to update. Suggest author copy/move to a sandbox and resubmit when complete.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 23:44, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Approve The article has been improved, external sources are added — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.221.161.63 (talk) 19:30, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article has several (unreliable) external links, but no references apart from the Semenov/Lebedev article. In any case, American approaches to Christian economics are better covered in existing articles such as Gary North (economist). We still have a fail of WP:OR and WP:N. -- 101.119.14.34 (talk) 02:55, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I need a bit more time to gather needful data, could you please move my article to "Sandbox" until I finish it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.221.29.19 (talk) 09:04, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The problem would be where to put it. It looks like you're moving between IP addresses so pegging down a useful "userspace" might be more difficult. If you were to register for a user account (free, anonymous) you could create a sub-page and keep a user draft there. Stalwart111 11:09, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for all the reasons given above. Harry the Dog WOOF 14:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Following the aforementioned advice, I registered, what should I do now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wireless457 (talk • contribs) 20:54, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! I have userfied the article for you at User:Wireless457/Christian Economy draft. Stalwart111 22:20, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and WP:Userfy to Wireless457's namespace per reasons above.Martin451 21:36, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since it is userified. This might make a worthwhile article, but at present it is a mere essay. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:35, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
