Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Religious Wars
Firstly, per . If there were going to be an article, it would need to be restarted from the ground up. It would also need to be renamed. Since that theoretical article would have replaced every part of this article, it would actually not be this article but a brand new article, so there is no benefit to retaining this unrelated one.  Secondly, it is unclear what the criteria would be for including a war as a "religious war", particularly since for most wars, countries tend to have multiple motives for entering into many of their wars.  Would both sides have to be fighting for religious reasons, or just one?  Would religion have to be the primary motivator, one of several significant motivators, or just any motivator at all?  Would a war with clearly secular motives count if you got the pope's permission first, as William of Poitiers|one contemporary chronicler suggestes the Norman conquest of England was?  Would inclusion be based on what the participants said at the time, or modern historical consensus?  (For example, a war where historians consider the declaration of a war on religious grounds an obvious pretext for something the ruler wanted to do anyway.)  Is it enough to attribute victory to divine intervention, or to thank your deity/deities for all that new territory you have after the war is over?  If the ruler is considered a living god, is any war they fight a religious war?  What about any war the Papal states was involved in?  Lists need to have clear criteria for inclusion, and this one would not
