This page duplicates parts of Secret Gospel of Mark, except the same content on that page is better organized, better cited, and more detailed. GordonGlottal (talk) 15:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- obvious merge though it can be argued which way it should go. Also, the present article is sketchy, but the Secret Gospel article is insanely detailed, way past what it reasonable in an encyclopedia. Mangoe (talk) 04:14, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This article was created in 2006 as a split from Secret Gospel of Mark. The latter article has been considerably expanded since then, which has led to duplication of content. I think it's reasonable to keep these as separate articles; the thing to do is merge the information about the letter's discovery and the authenticity dispute into this article, leaving the Secret Gospel article to focus on the alleged contents of the gospel and its interpretation.

- Keep - the Secret Gospel of Mark article is 140.53 kB and the WP:SIZERULE guideline suggests splitting an article at 100 kB, so the Mar Saba Letter article seems like a natural WP:SPINOUT with the Mar Saba Letter article describing the discovery and the Secret Gospel of Mark article discussing the contents and theological implications - cheers - Epinoia (talk) 17:29, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
