@
Bradv: But we also have
Philosophy and
Philosopher. I agree the article is weak. The proper name is Christian Theologian rather than the current mouthful. The problem I see is not lack of notability, but the lack of good secondary sources as a foundation for the article. --

Keep/Merge : I after reading over the article wouldn't exactly call it a personal essay, it seems to be strangely worded and could be interrupted as 2nd person narrating or lecturing but I don't find that to be obvious. I also would not say that the existence of the articles
Theology and
Christian theology rule out the validity of this even existing, wouldn't that be equivalent to saying "because there's an article about
Chemistry there cant be an article about
Chemists"? I do however think that it would be appropriate to merge this with
Christian Theology as the 2 topics seem more similar than say Chemistry and chemists as an example again.

Repurpose as a list
List of Christian theologians and prune. The article has a merge tag to
Christian theology. I cannot support such a merge as that article is already very large and about concepts, not people. The present article has a definition (possibly inadequate); short biographies of two of Protestant reformers (which should be pruned); and a list of other theologians (which needs links).
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete An essay fork of
Christian Theology. I can't even imagine what was intended by the phrase "John Calvin, the French theologian, the perfectionist of Protestant theology" signed, Rosguilltalk 23:22, 11 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Rename to "Christian Theologian" -and -Userfy and/or Send to AfC for improvement. Christian Theologians are definitely a "thing", based on our
List of Christian theologians. But this article has terrible
WP:RS at present--that must be fixed as others have noted. It must have verifiable quality secondary sources before it is put back on-line. In the meantime, I'm okay with a Redirect to the various places suggested above, but ultimately, this article should be able to be fleshed out as full article. It's really not entirely different than
Philosopher or
Professor that describes the expert teachers of the discipline. --

Delete, per Piotrus; this is not good enough to be a useful starting point for a list of Christian theologians. –
