G*d

The relationship between G*d and the article it redirects to is not clear. CruftCutter (talk) 23:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment censorship? ViperSnake151 23:26, 6 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, this is a harmless and amusing redirect. How is it not clear? AnteaterZot (talk) 23:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Shouldn't this be at WP:RFD? JavaTenor (talk) 23:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I edit conflicted you trying to say the same thing. :)   Corvus cornix  talk  23:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is a very reasonable redirect, since many religious Jews will not write "God". So if someone sees this in text then they'll likely want to know what it stands for. In fact, I'd tentatively suggest that there might even be enough information about this that we could have an article on G*d/G-d. JoshuaZ (talk) 00:17, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Unless it is a particularily important spelling variant, it may be considered religiously offensive by some people, and may cause some to use "God" as a swear word, which this isn't, although I'm keeping it neutral instead of delete because of JoshuaZ's comment, and it's somewhat like censoring "Good" into "G**d". Thanks. ~ A H  1 (TCU) 01:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - as Joshua said. - Jehochman Talk 01:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Oh please...--Filll (talk) 02:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per JoshuaZ ... and his idea to expand into an article about the Jewish treatment of God's name is a good one. -- A. B. (talk)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletions.  -- A. B. (talk) 02:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * redirect to God - (not to Allah as suggested in history) - is fine and makes perfect sense to me. Expanding into a full article is also fine, but I think that the name "writing names of God in Judaism" is a better title.  If and when that article is written this article should redirect there.  Jon513 (talk) 02:16, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Names of God in Judaism which substantially covers what JoshuaZ, A. B., and Jon513 requested. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Names of God in Judaism per Metropolitan90 (talk). -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 04:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Metropolitan90, and we should make a similar redirect for L*rd -- Nick Penguin ( contribs ) 04:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Names of God in Judaism the same way G-d redirects there. -- M P er el 04:55, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment&mdash;On a procedural note, this should have been taken to WP:RFD rather than being discussed here. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 10:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect, per the redirection on G-d.  Lawrence Cohen  16:10, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Names of God in Judaism. That target makes the reason for the direct clear.  W ODU P  17:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per JoshuaZ. This is a plausible redirect.  Some people do "Bowdlerize" the "o" in "God" in order not to spell out the full name. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 17:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Redirect, per the redirection on G-d to Names of God in Judaism. (great idea). CruftCutter (talk) 17:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
