Deletion of Historical persecution by Christians (2nd nomination)

Comment: in the same way we deleted articles 'Historical persecution by Jews/Muslims' on the basis of |original research. If we want to discuss time-specific incidences of persecution (i.e. by the Roman Empire for example), then we can do it in the specific article. Presenting the issue as a "timeline of persecution" as if the separate incidences throughout the ages are actually linked is inherently original research. Unless of course this interlinking has specifically been verified by multple reliable sources, which I doubt. The link between the persecution under Theodosius (379), the events of the Spanish Inquisition (~1500), and the sectarian history in Ireland (~1600-) is far too weak to be presenting them all as related in one article

Comment: Useful and encylopaedic (ugh, I despise that latter term but I'll use it anyway.) Wait a minute, both of those rationales are on . I guess I better come up with some semblance of a real argument. Anyway, I just think that it's helpful to have both the persecution OF and persecution BY series of articles. You're only doubling the total number of articles, and it makes information a lot easier to find, if you happen to be looking for excuses to bash on the one hand, or pity on the other, a particular religion
