Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Archaeology and the Book of Mormon
The article is indeed full of synthesis, original research and  material, and needs an extensive workover. However, I'm not convinced that deletion is the proper remedy. It probably just needs a name change and a lot of the material cut out. I don't think it is objectionable simply because it covers a fringe topic, as we have articles on other fringy archaeology topics like Ancient Astronauts and Searches for Noah's Ark. This is supposed to be sort of a sub-article of Historical authenticity of the Book of Mormon. Maybe a proper new name for it is something like "Searches for external evidence of Book of Mormon authenticity", which I know is a mouthful
