• Redirect to Stranger in a Strange Land —Wahoofive (talk) 22:11, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
• abstain on deletion - oppose the re-direct. The statement appears five times in the Bible -so to redirect (as opposed to link) to another book, whose use of it is probably derivative, hardly seems appropriate. --Doc Glasgow 22:55, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Good suggestion. Maybe a disambig, then? --Idont Havaname 23:55, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, dictionary definition. Megan1967 02:09, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep. Easily expandable to a more substantial article. It deals with the religious and philosophical nature of the self and of God; it ties in with Christian and neo-pagan beliefs; it was popularised in a seminal novel. all these three factors can be woven togeter into an article that is substantially more than any dicdef could ever be.

  • Except that those phrases are used with totally different meanings in those different contexts. —Wahoofive (talk) 03:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, neo-pagan usage deserves an article. Kappa 04:42, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless proof of widespread usage is provided. What the heck is a neo-pagan? Any any article that mentions usage in Heinlein before usage in the Bible sets off my warning bells. Gamaliel 04:48, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
  • See Neopagan. Gets 27 kilogoogles, so keep. Existing page already qualifies as a disambig between Heinlein and the Bible. Radiant_* 08:31, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
• keep' because of kilogoogles Yuckfoo 17:43, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup, notable, good start at a page. Nickptar 22:47, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. It's a good start and the fact that it mentions Heinlein before the Bible seems reasonable to me since my first upon discovering the page existed was the Heinlein story. Discussion of how it relates to pantheism would also be appropriate. --Christi 22:37, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment -- Wow! I didn't see the potential for an article! I thought it was unexpandable. MessedRocker 23:28, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand, worth an article.--Prem 03:01, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
