Life of Jesus (Hegel)

I think this page should be removed or merged into a larger article about Hegel's works or about Hegel in general, because it does not seem to warrant a separate article just to write two lines about it. Wwmargera (talk) 11:59, 20 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep this important early work by one of the central figures of modern philosophy. The above Google links do not bring up all of the relevant hits. This, on the other hand, may contain some false positives. User:Wwmargera's feelings about Hegel are available at this edit summary.
 * Delete (weak) better, redirect and merge. This article has been up since September of last year, and contains nothing that couldn't be in the main article.  Certainly, I suspect that a worthwhile article COULD be written about this book, but this article isn't it.  I suspect the topic itself is notable - that's not the question here. And discussing other commenters personal opinions (which are largely irrelevant, and smell of ad hominem) is likely to lose you sympathy, rather than gain it.

 * Keep. A neglected article whose topic nevertheless meets WP:N. Ample coverage in scholarly secondary sources -- but, alas, probably needs the aid of an expert, which may be why it's still a stub. -- Rrburke (talk) 14:57, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

 *  Keep. We don't delete stubs just because they are stubs.  Works by major philosophers pass criteria 1 and 5 on WP:BK.   RJC  TalkContribs 18:54, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Seriously? A work by Hegel at AfD?  Passes WP:N with analysis in Joshua D. Goldstein's Hegel's Idea of the Good Life, Stephen Crites' Dialectic and Gospel in the Development of Hegel's Thinking, Michael N. Forster's Hegel's Idea of a Phenomenology of Spirit and perhaps countless other works on Hegel.  Them  From  Space  00:43, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
