Disputed PROD. Like the companion article deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/4 Formative Keys to the Progression of Early Church History, the whole point of this article is to argue that four particular events are the "keys" to medieval Church history. This is original research, and the article hangs on these things, and no others, being described. All four things do, of course, have their own articles.

Delete Essentially, and necessarily, a POV essay. Of course these four areas have their place in a history of the church but so do others. As a demonstration of the impossibility of this as an article title in Wikipedia, what if editors thought that there was another 'key' that was of equal significance, or that one of the present ones should be split? Even 'progression' begs some questions, as it could be argued that things such as the Great Schism should not be viewed as progressive. As a way of shaping a short course for educational purposes, structures like this can be useful. But rarely in WP. And if just a survey of christian theology over this very long period then it is an unnecessary fork. --AJHingston (talk) 08:53, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/4 Formative Keys to the Progression of Early Church History. Like that article, it's one big WP:SYNTH. There is no support for the "four keys" concept being sold here. -- 202.124.74.125 (talk) 09:54, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Not an encyclopedic topic. If there are four articles on these "4 Keys," they can be linked together with See Also links. Carrite (talk) 17:33, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete POV essay of what appears to be original synthesis. SalHamton (talk) 18:47, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
DElete -- a POV essay. I thought at first it was the other "4 keys" article over again. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:14, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not a generally recognised theme in the handling of the History of Doctrine and therefore not encyclopaedic. Jpacobb (talk) 00:09, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
