[edit] Our Mother in Heaven

Content is duplicated on the Elohim page. Either delete or merge. Kerowyn Leave a note 00:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete/merge as per above. Badbilltucker 12:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete.
    • I don't see where the content is duplicated in the Elohim article. If it is, please state where.
    • Mainly unsourced.
    • No context. What religion is this? Is this article specifically discussing a Mormon theological concept or just citing that as an example?
    • Without references, this seems to violate No Original Research.
    • Weasel wording: "It can be argued".
    • Scholarly opinions differ on the interpretation of "Let us make man . . .". Protestantism and Catholicism consider it an indication of the triune nature of God. Rabbinic Judaism considers it an honorific, like the Queen of England referring to herself as "we". Considering that there are about 10 million Mormons worldwide and well over 1.5 billion Christians, the Mormon view represents an extreme minority view. WP guidelines require that articles should not include extreme minority views unless they are identified as such, to avoid misleading those unfamiliar with a topic from thinking a very minority POV is mainstream.

The duplicated content I was referring to was the sections about feminine lingustic elements associated with the Hebrew diety. Kerowyn Leave a note 05:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as OR; if it can be sourced to Mormon theology, then perhaps merge it into a relevant article there. - TewfikTalk 17:19, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
