Talk:Evangelion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page ought to be redirected to Neon Genesis Evangelion (I wish I knew how) rather than disambiguated.PhoenixSeraph 23:31, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

As an anonymous user, it seems I can't follow the process to nominate this article for deletion. However, if I could, I would, for this reason:

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This article is a dictionary definition of the word "evangelion", and as such, doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Furthermore, having it in Wikipedia is problematic because many readers will be looking for an article called "Evangelion" and expecting to find Neon Genesis Evangelion. The word is very seldom used except in the context of that television series. For most readers who ask Wikipedia about "evangelion", the current Evangelion article is the wrong answer to the question; so it shouldn't be the default.

The more appropriate structure, instead of an article with the dictionary definition under Evangelion and a pointer there to Neon Genesis Evangelion, would be a redirect from Evangelion to Neon Genesis Evangelion and a pointer there to the definition, which could be put in Wiktionary or included as a section in the Neon Genesis Evangelion article. I note that the present Evangelion article apparently originated as a section of the Neon Genesis Evangelion article - so maybe what I'm suggesting would be better described as a "merge" instead of a "deletion" anyway.129.97.79.144 15:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I blanked the page and put in a soft redirect to Wiktionary. See if you like it, or you would prefer an automatic redirect to Neon Genesis Evangelion, or even move that article here. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 12:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
My vote goes for "hard" redirect to Neon Genesis Evangelion. There is no article here competing for space with NGE, thus it should just be a redirect. You could possibly move the link to Evangelion's entry in Wiktionary to the NGE article, itself.
I changed the hard redirect to Gospel to a hard redirect to Neon Genesis Evangelion I became aware of this when it was mentioned on slashdot, and I think it may have been a mistake to hardwire it to "Gospel" in English, although perhaps not in other languages. Since the page was otherwise blank, it didn't seem to be too hasty to hardwire it. Trishm 22:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
