Dicdef of a foreign word. Bump over to Wiktionary. UtherSRG (talk) 02:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete dicdef -Drdisque (talk) 04:52, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'd like to see more information about debates over the meaning of the word in the Bible, rather than the few lines at the end. If it's been significantly debated in scholarly literature, this would deserve to be kept. Moswento (talk) 07:36, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: I apologise for uploading the article in a half-finished state earlier today due to circumstances beyond my control. I'm still tweaking it, but you can see now what the intention is. Obviously any term in Category:New_Testament_words_and_phrases has to contain a solid lexical section, but duplicating a dictionary isn't the purpose.In ictu oculi (talk) 07:47, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: I think the nomination is now no longer relevant. Good discussion of some of the issues, with references to secondary literature. Certainly more than a dictionary definition, certainly notable. Moswento (talk) 12:40, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Did not look through the historical versions, but the one I read seems to be a reasonable treatment of a theologically significant term. Suggest page move to get rid of the non-English macron.  (Is begettal a real word?) - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:48, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thanks for comments. I have changed Begettal to Begetting in all but 2 instances since the word, while less common, will inevitably be searched for. Also have no objection to page move to get rid of macron.In ictu oculi (talk) 03:05, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - withdraw - This is way more than a dicdef now. And the macron should stay, too. - UtherSRG (talk) 02:33, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. A well referenced and detailed article which probably needs a better lede and an explanation of how this is relevant to various linguistic and theological discussions. It could benefit from links to articles which it informs. --Taiwan boi (talk) 08:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
