Sachiel
I'm not sure if this is true. I'm pretty sure it's not. Kyle543 03:57, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless somebody can explain what sort of cruft it is. RickK 04:48, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * It's Neon Genesis Evangelion cruft. Redirect to Angel (Neon Genesis Evangelion). &mdash;Korath (Talk) 05:00, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Smerdis of Tlön's rewrite. (I'm going to remove the original content, though, in favor of a disambig line, since the information was already at Angel (Neon Genesis Evangelion).) &mdash;Korath (Talk) 21:16, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree to redirect to Angel (Neon Genesis Evangelion). Or else delete - nonencyclopedic Srcastic 05:09, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Meelar (talk) 05:11, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, cruft. Megan1967 08:22, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I can live with a redirect. Mgm|(talk) 10:09, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, rewrite I wouldn't consider myself highly religious or anything, but I think it's pretty sad when so many people assume that a certain angel is just something from Evangelion! Evangelion borrowed the names of numerous biblical angels for its monsters.  Sachiel is a "real" angel, at least in Christian lore, and also the pseudo-Christian new-age angel mysticism that seems to be going around these days.  Try a Google search for "sachiel +angel -evangelion" and you'll see what I mean: hundreds of hits, very few are EVA-related. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  13:13, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * If and when someone rewrites it, he can do so over the redirect. However, the content that's currently here is all about the anime, so should be redirected to the appropriate page so it doesn't fork. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 14:27, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - I found a bit of information on the web about the archangel Sachiel and have added it to the article. There may be more in Davidson's Dictionary of Angels, which I can check later.  Not wholly sure we want separate articles on all the qabalistic angels of the weeks and planets (they get demons as well) but this data is no doubt as worthy as other (fictional) characters. -- Smerdis of Tlön 20:38, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the rewritten article. &mdash; Xezbeth 05:23, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
