[edit] Seven stars of Revelation

Original research. User:RickReinckens nominated the article for speedy deletion, with the following reason: "The Book of Revelation is full of religious symbolism. The article takes one of dozens, perhaps hundreds, of interpretations, none of which can be proved and presents one person's pure speculation as fact. His interpretation is by no means a mainstream interpretation. See Rick Reinckens in talk page for more." The page doesn't seem to be a speedy candidate, so I am going for regular deletion instead. - Mike Rosoft 02:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete original research, religous interpretation is not encyclopedic. --Pboyd04 02:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all above. Not a speedy. PJM 02:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per RickReickens. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-16 06:00Z
• Delete, original research. Grandmasterka 11:09, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per WP:NOR. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 18:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. A discussion of the different interpretations might well be relevant, but an assertion of one extermely minor interpretation is not. JGF Wilks 15:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator, Pboyd04, and JGF Wilks. From the article and its only source:

Messengers as outlined by William M. Branham http://WWW.Williambranham.com"

So the guy who wrote this claims to be one of the seven great messengers of the deity's word to the world's churches. Are we sure that this is QUITE the authoritative source that WP's standards of WP:Verifiability require? Barno 22:22, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
