[edit] Multiple articles with similar name (& similar / overlapping content?)

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is an existing wiki article that currently redirects to Fiery furnace. While *this* article (spelled Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego) does not redirect to Fiery furnace

The name Meshack / Meshach is apparently mispelled (alternate spellings?) in one or the other article title. Should one redirect to the other or should both redirect to the Fiery furnace article? I hope some thoughtful wiki editor with subject-matter knowledge (not me I'm afraid) can try to clean up this article naming / redirecting confusion. Pugetbill 00:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the redirect so that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego now redirects to *this* article, Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego instead of to Fiery furnace. Although it would appear "Meshach" (not Meshack) is a more common spelling of the name, the original article is under "Meshack" and I leave it to someone with more subject-matter knowledge to decide whether it is better to "move" the article to a different / better title.

The New World Translation uses meshach, but I doubt academics and wikidemics believe it's accurateness in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. 66.157.30.83 22:44, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I have moved Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego to the correct spelling Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. —Angr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 15:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
