[edit] Middle verse of the Bible
The references are blogs or other unreliable sources. Wikipedia is not a random collection of information, and no reason is given why the claimed fact is notable. A book can be notable without the fact of what is the middle verse being notable. It may also vary depending on which version is used. Fails to meet WP:RSand WP:V. Even if it were verifiable, there is no proof it is notable, as would be shown by coverage in multiple independent and reliable publications, so it fails WP:N Inkpaduta 05:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect. Intriguing, but that's not a valid "keep" reason. We know all about WP:ILIKEIT. But nonetheless, would it be valid for inclusion into Bible? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dennisthe2 (talk • contribs) 06:53, 5 February 2007 (UTC).
- ...and I did it again. I'm done for the night after correcting a link. --Dennisthe2 06:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete Not well sourced and doesn't really explain significance. Possibly it could be better though if it explained why the middle verse would have any special meaning and dealt with the fact a "middle verse" would be different in Catholic or Orthodox bibles.--T.

- Delete, non-notable and weak references. --Pi (π) 11:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - while there's some possible use here in debunking an internet meme, I don't think there's enough to justify inclusion. -- Bpmullins | Talk 15:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and do not merge, theologian wading in here.... this is non-notable as there is no "middle verse" of the Bible (depends which Bible, and where you're counting from) and even if there were - "middle" has no numerological significant. --Madmedea 16:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete although I've come across this topic a few times over the years, this article on it is mainly original research. Totnesmartin 17:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as mostly original research.-- danntm T C 19:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - this is original research and it acknowledges being original research. It is also a non-notable topic that does not assert any potential notability.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 20:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Per above--Sefringle 03:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
