The result of the debate was rename as revised

Proposal: Rename Tanakh-stub to HebrewBible-stub Hebrew-Bible-stub and Category:Tanakh stubs to Category:Hebrew Bible stubs.

Nominator's rationale: to match parent Category:Hebrew Bible, which is readily understandable to both Jews and Christians (the most likely constituencies to expand these 500 stubs). The stub template was renamed in Jan 2007 from HeBible-stub to Tanakh-stub mainly to match the head category, named Tanakh at the time - see the SFD discussion and  this earlier discussion. Subsequently, most other Tanakh categories were renamed as Hebrew Bible, see CFD June 2007. This one should now follow.

Categorisation as Hebrew Bible eliminates duplication between Tanakh and Old Testament categories. Some Hebrew Bible categories have corresponding Old Testament head categories; these also include articles of solely Christian interest or sub-categories on the Apocrypha.

It would also be useful to reach a conclusion here on whether a separate stub category for Old Testament Apocrypha is desirable. The number of stubs in the category on Apocryphal subjects is relatively small. Fayenatic (talk) 21:33, 3 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Rename both, though whether the template should be at HebrewBible-stub or Hebrew-Bible-stub under standard stub naming may be open to a little debate. At the time this stub type was made, it linked with the permanent category, now long since gone. Ironically, the original name of this template was HeBible-stub, but it was renamed because that name was a little ambiguous and the permcat was at Tanakh. The SFD on that subject from early last year may be informative. Grutness...wha?  00:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hebrew-Bible-stub would be fine by me. I've changed the nomination accordingly. - Fayenatic (talk) 10:24, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Rename both - The word "Tanakh" isn't really used in English; and the permcat has been renamed accordingly - should have been renamed at the same time as these. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:53, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:28, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Rename - I've just stub-sorted Heptateuch but had never come across the word "Tanakh" before; "Hebrew bible" is much more informative. PamD (talk) 00:12, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Rename per above - Epson291 (talk) 12:00, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
