What if they had an apocalypse and nobody came? That seems to be the issue here: I can't read the Boston Globe article, but it seems to be dismissive, judging from the headline. Everything else seems to be a mixture of references to buttress uncontroversial statements and in-world fringe publications. Unlike some of these end-of-the-world prophecies it looks as though this one never caught the attention of the outside world. So I'm seeing notability issues on top of the too-much-fringe-detail issues. Mangoe (talk) 21:10, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It did receive some attention from the outside world - see the Washington Post article. There are a lot of unreliable sources here that should be removed, but AfD is not cleanup. St Anselm (talk) 22:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Hardly notable, and WP:TNT applies. XOR'easter (talk) 15:01, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete if this was a notable topic, we would see some sustained coverage, but this is just a flash in the pan, Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS. Hemiauchenia (talk) 15:26, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No evidence of WP:SUSTAINED coverage in RS. No reason why this rises above the general background noise of Christian Apocalypse predictions unlike, say, Harold Camping's failed predictions which received widespread and longer-term coverage.

Delete per above. If the coverage in the Washington Post and Boston Globe references is sufficient for an entry in the List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events, it can get a row there between John Hagee/Mark Biltz and David Meade (author). –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 01:59, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- One in a long line of failed predictions of the End, based on some person's theory as to how scripture should be interpreted. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:11, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
