[edit] Merge with John Calvin?

Probably not. This article is becoming quite long and would upset the balance of the original Calvin page. Am deleting the tag... StAnselm 05:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• I agree that we should keep the article
• If you could leave the merge tag there for a bit to promote discussion, that would be useful. I didn't put it back, but someone has done so, so I'm interested in seeing discussion (hopefully a "keep" conclusion). If there's no discussion in the next week, then go ahead and remove it.

• Of course. The first merge tag was posted while I was writing the article, and I figured that whoever put it there thought the article was going to remain a stub. StAnselm 12:39, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Most of the chunky quotations can surely be stripped out? They're already effectively summarised in the text; readers interested in Calvin's original supporting arguments will be able to access them via the references. The resultant, much shorter, text could be merged with the John Calvin article without materially impacting its balance.

Also, the current article is probably only ever accessed via links. But, is that a bad thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.137.30.42 (talk • contribs) 15:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] title change

Should the title be changed to "John Calvin's view of Scripture" just for all of those novices out there? Likely a few.Brian0324 17:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• Yeah, I think you're right. StAnselm 00:52, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization

I'm trying to make some sense of the hundreds and hundreds of articles in Category:Christian theology; for instance, I recently moved a number of XX views on Mary to more suitable subcategories. In the same vein I think this article belongs in Category:Calvinism as well as one of the subcategories of Category:Bible; I thought Category:Biblical exegesis but this apparently was either incorrect or objectionable. Suggestions welcome.-choster (talk) 18:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
