Three-Source hypothesis[edit]

The three-source hypothesis is a notable topic in relation to the synoptic problem, which has been discussed by scholars for over a hundred years, but this article, despite the title, is not about the three-sources hypothesis. It is a commentary on a paper written by a retired IT worker and amateur biblical scholar published a couple of weeks ago in what doesn't appear to be a reliable peer-reviewed journal, and as such is original research.

Delete. I agree with the nominator's analysis. --Malleus Fatuorum 21:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to synoptic problem. This article is clearly giving undue weight to a single author, regardless of his qualifications or the standing of the journal. EALacey (talk) 10:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge in to synoptic problem - it has some useful content, but has too much OR to stay by itself. Bearian (talk) 16:50, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Which content would you include? It looks to me like the whole thing is a summary of Ron Price's article which, if we're going to cite it, shouldn't be our only source. EALacey (talk) 19:34, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
