[edit] Biblical people in Christianity

Biblical people in Christianity (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Originating editor has not explained what this page is intended to achieve. It adds nothing to the encyclopedia. Fayenatic london (talk) 06:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete feels suspiciously like a WP:POINT or WP:CFORK violation, though I'm not sure of what. Redundant to List of Biblical figures. Great quote: "According to some Christians, Jesus is a main and central key figure in the new testament". cab 06:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above. This subject is covered better in other articles. --Metropolitan90 07:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The list of is not able to explain what biblical people as a group are. I started the article, because there was no lead article for the Category:Biblical people. Maybe, someone is able to englighten the article... -- Bapho 09:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I could understand a list of Biblical characters not in Christianity, but this is the default. --Charlene 10:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete redundant to other articles. Categories don't necessarily need a header article. Hut 8.5 13:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, what next? "Football players in the National Football League"? NawlinWiki 14:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Christianity-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 15:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Absurd. Greg Grahame 16:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - We already have lists of prophets in the Bible, and List of Biblical figures identified in extra-Biblical sources, most of whom have their own articles. All the other significant figues also have their own entries. This article only includes a few of the (arguably) better known individuals, and with no apparent purpose or criteria that is actually followed. ◄Zahakiel► 16:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, purposeless list, redundant to other articles. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 17:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Although the title was definitely worth a chuckle, it is a redundant useless article. --Hemlock Martinis 18:14, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Haven't got a clue what the aim of the article is Jack1956 18:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I almost suggested redirect--but what's the likelihood of someone searching for that here. Cruft, potential POV magnet. Blueboy96 20:08, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Completely redundant, both literally and theoretically. This is practically patent nonsense. VanTucky (talk) 21:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This is like "historical people in history books" or "Quran people in Islam". It has nothing to say and says it. Mandsford 23:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The scope of the title makes it redundant. --Stormbay 23:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete origional research--SefringleTalk 03:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and cab. Carlossuarez46 18:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
