Non-notable (translation of) a Bible verse. There is no sign this verse is particularly more spoken/used/well-known than any other, and I don't suppose we're trying to replace the role of interlinear Bibles yet. Awyong J. M. Salleh 14:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree: delete, for the reasons given above. -- The Anome 14:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is a well known passage from the Gospel of John. "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness". Never heard this? Anyway, I found the stub interesting and would like to keep it. Maybe merge it later somewhere, but I don't know where yet, so keep it here for now. Shanes 14:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * What criteria or which person has determined this particular verse to be well-known, the article doesn't say. We lack evidence this passage is notable. Perhaps Wikisource might be the place for it, but then this is so short a text I'm not sure if they will accept it. Awyong J. M. Salleh 15:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as it stands, possibly merging anything worth saving for the time being into Gospel of John. Also, this is the English language Wikipedia, and article titles ought to be in English.  Ideally, we ought to have an article on the "I am" statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John, in to which this, The Good Shepherd (religion), The Vine, and the seven other "I Am" metaphors of Jesus in that Gospel could be merged. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete any verse in the bible can claim notability one way or another. --Tainter 15:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. An arbitrarily selected verse, not more notable than, say, the immediately preceding vade, et amplius iam noli peccare (go then, and sin no more). -- BPMullins | Talk 15:52, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. is it a candidate for a wikibooks transwiki ? John Vandenberg 16:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I would be happy to keep an article about a Bible verse if there was some theological significance/controversy to the verse or the way it is translated.  But this article just presents some different translations.  Slideshow Bob 17:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - we are not really intended as a bible study resource. If you want a bible study, might I suggest Our Daily Bread?  Good devotionals there. --Dennisthe2 20:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
