Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/YHWH aleim, YHWH's Council of Elohim
Henotheism#Israelite beliefs and Judaism pre-exists this article, so creating a second on may be a bit premature. Unfortunately, that article also seems to be rather undersourced and the "Israelite beliefs and Judaism" section doesn't seem to have any sources at all. The topic of academic theories that the religion of ancient Israel was once henotheistic does seem to have sufficient coverage in academic literature to be worth an article, and there do seem to be multiple henotheistic theories proposed. (See also, for example, William G. Dever, "Did God Have a Wife?" and the Asherah article). Although not an AfD issue, this article needs significant clean-up and may need to be stubbified given its current state. Religious subjects are very controversial. An article on this type of subject needs to use careful attribution language, to be careful at all times to clarify that it is presenting a particular view rather absolute fact, and to cite virtually all information presented using footnote-style references. It's not appropriate to present the views of controversial theories as if they were undisputed background fact with only a bibliography as references. Conveying ''who'' makes a particular claim can be as important as conveying the claim itself.  The chief problem with the current article is that it's very hard to |verify. It's not easy to tell whether or not significant |original research might be interspersed among cited material or if the article contains |syntheses of source material to reach conclusions going beyond what the sources say. Footnote-style sourcing would address this.  Best
