Delete A completely unsourced article that seems to fail WP:GNG. It is a mess of unknowable claims mixed with folk legend and I'm not sure even where to start trying to verify the article. Tooncool64 (talk) 01:28, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No sources at all, and a lot of broken wikilinks and other problems. Endersslay (talk) 16:05, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The lack of sources can be addressed without deletion, which I've just done. A simple web search for "christmas eve procession malta" turns up dozens of sources, so I highly doubt that the claim that this doesn't pass the WP:GNG, which the nominator doesn't actually evidence. – Joe (talk) 09:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as this article has changed greatly, from an unreferenced mess to a sourced stub article.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've added a couple of sources and added text to the article. I think we would do better to add to the article, rather than delete it. This is an annual sacred event to the island of Malta. Re the nominator's statement of, "...unknowable claims mixed with folk legend", the annual Malta event is about the birth of Jesus. — Maile (talk) 14:55, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in view of the improvements to the article including reliable sources references Atlantic306 (talk) 20:20, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article is now a sourced stub which nullifies the delete arguments. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 04:42, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
