  • Delete How exactly is this notable enough for an article? And are we to list every verse in the Bible where the children of Israel are called the Children of Abraham or where Abraham is listed as their forefather? Avi 02:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • The answers to your questions: One, it isn't. Two, no. We aren't a bible study mechanism; I recommend Our Daily Bread if you want that. Delete. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 03:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not...um...a guide to the Bible. Someguy1221 08:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just a list of quotations without any indication of... well, anything. BTLizard 14:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with Abraham and redirect. Probably NN on its own, but may be searched for.--Ioannes Pragensis 15:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete as indiscriminate information. We have concordances for such trivia. YechielMan 19:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Abraham. Redirects are cheap and accomplishes the same goal. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 23:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Abraham per Shinmawa.—Gaff ταλκ 03:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Abraham and redirect there. This one is a no-brainer - a one-paragraph stub that belongs back with its parent. I could imagine someone hearing the expression Seed of Abraham in some religious media and wondering "what is that" and coming to us (Wikipedia) for an answer. By itself the article has no context or foundation, and may be rather non-neutral, leaning strongly towards Christianity, and ignoring Abraham's true heritage. The stub does not even appear to link to Abraham as a cross reference! For all an uninitiated novice would know it could be Abraham Lincoln. But placed the information in the context of Abraham's article, in an appropriate section, it would start to make sense. Cut and paste, redirect and done. --T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 11:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
