Talk:Biblical counseling

Dabconcept tag
It seems to me that this page is appropriate if both Nouthetic counseling and Christian counseling also known as "Biblical counseling." Is the introduction objectionable. I guess it could be pruned to say "Biblical counseling may refer to:", but I can't really see the problem. StAnselm (talk) 08:19, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It needn't be a long article, and it would have a similar effect to a disamb, but since this term as presented covers both (includes, that is, not would be confused with necessarily), we need a cite saying as much and any other top level info about the broader subject (percentage practicing in each varient, etc) which could be added later. The detailed info unique to each varient will, someday maybe, be in the specific articles. If this is not really the umbrella subject, this should be a redirect to whichever of the two it really is, or most often refers to, and a redirect hatnote can go on the target pointing to the other. Just my two cents. Novaseminary (talk) 15:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Does anyone support or object to redirecting this to Christian counseling and putting a hatnote on Nouthetic counseling? Novaseminary (talk) 06:27, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the dab is needed - because if anything, it should redirect to Nouthetic counseling. "Biblical counseling" is clearly an alternate name of Nouthetic counseling, while it is not so clear that it's an alternate name of Christian counseling. But when when is torn between two redirects, that is exactly when one needs to have a dab page. StAnselm (talk) 06:46, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, then how about adding (also known as biblical counseling) to the Nouthetic article, assuming some source supports it (this one?), and then redirecting there. On that article we could put a hatnote. Novaseminary (talk) 07:00, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's fine. I'm glad we could come to an arrangement. I'll do it now. StAnselm (talk) 10:29, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
