Genesis 1:2
Despite the importance of this verse in creationist theory, I hotly oppose a Wikipedia article on individual verses of the Bible. We already have Psalms 119, and even that is borderline. It should be deleted or merged with articles on creationism. JFW | T@lk  15:53, 26 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Merge into Genesis or other suitable article. I agree that we shouldn't have articles for every verse just for logistical reasons; besides, it's unnecessary.--M412k 16:11, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * No content worth merging. Redirect to Creation according to Genesis. - Mike Rosoft 16:19, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Just DELETE! We don't need all of these articles about each and every goddamn (no pun intended) Bible verse. Revolución 20:05, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for sake of space My previous vote was too hasty. After giving the issue some thought, I vote Keep. Karol 20:07, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. As Gen 1:1. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:56, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep... but if you absolutely have to merge Beta m (talk)
 * Delete. Mindmatrix 21:01, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Also note that the vote listed from Tony Sidaway was actually cast by User:Beta m
 * About the above note: when I load the edit history, it keeps changing state. What's going on? (It's not a caching issue on my end.) I'm not sure if the statement I made above is accurate. Mindmatrix 21:22, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Disregard my notes, everyone. Apparently I'm getting incorrect edit history information from the DB right now. Mindmatrix 21:37, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - still more notable than your average school - although this does need some content - I didn't know we were short of space?--Doc (?) 21:17, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, per Genesis 1:1, reasoning as stated in that vote. Geogre 21:30, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. See also WP:VFD/Matthew 2:16. -- Jonel 21:54, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. More than enough scholorship available to create an encyclopedic article on this verse. --Allen3 talk 23:18, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Creation according to Genesis. While interesting in its own regard, if Wikipedia had an article on every single Bible verse it would just get ridiculous. This might warrant its own Bible Wiki, or something, though. Hermione1980 23:21, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Creation according to Genesis. --Carnildo 23:23, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Vast amounts have been written about this verse and the others at the start of Genesis. - SimonP 23:35, May 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect As above - many Biblical verses are grouped together on Wikipedia. Create Genesis 1:1-5, which covers a more comprehensible part of the Book. Grutness...  wha?  01:29, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, could write books on the subject. Christopher Parham (talk) 03:39, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Creation according to Genesis. Megan1967 05:23, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Single verses in the Bible have inspired reams of commentary, controversy, scholarship. --Decumanus 05:33, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
 * Delete Kaibabsquirrel 07:27, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Dsmdgold 10:25, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Creation according to Genesis. JamesBurns 11:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Falphin 02:51, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, don't redirect or merge. I would expect this article to grow and will best serve users in its own article.  - DS1953 22:43, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable bible verse. I;ve been adding additional translations (Modern Translations) to each of the bible verse articles. Klonimus 02:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
