Theory of the sun and the moon

This is not a theory, it is an analogy. As such I do not think it merits an article. TheLongTone (talk) 16:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, but rename. To my personal surprise, this is fairly widely discussed, with absolutely no shortage of high-quality sources available. That said, I'll agree that the titling is problematic and would propose Sun and moon allegory as the proper alternative. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:13, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are many sources, see GBooks.--Yopie (talk) 22:29, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, and as for the 'theory' part, yes, it is a theory of political science. Snowsuit Wearer (talk&#124;contribs) 20:47, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * However, especially in scholarly sources, "sun and moon allegory" is pretty common, and "theory of the sun and the moon" (or even "theory of sun and moon") if not completely unknown, is very rare, suggesting the rename is proper per WP:COMMONNAME.

 * OK, I wouln't mind a renaming of the article, as long as it is not deleted. Snowsuit Wearer (talk&#124;contribs) 22:08, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

It would be suicide this kind of "knowledge theory" (I mean new) was entirely new to me it has to be kept for the sake of good practice I never heard of the idea until I came across article on Dante "On Monarchy".I would settle for a rename but keep the page.The page has to be saved Richardlord50 (talk) 13:27, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
