Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of alleged inconsistencies in the Bible

There are inconsistencies in the Bibles. So what? Only a fundamentalist of some kind would deny this, or try to explain it away, and only somebody polemicizing against fundies would need to stress the issue. For the rest of us a well-referenced, critical treatment of the Bible is no different from a well-referenced, critical treatment of Homer, Icelandic sagas or any other old literary works containing a mixture of mythology, legend and some actual historical events. u p p l a n d 14:42, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

:Keep or merge with Alleged inconsistencies in the Bible. I agree that the Bible should not be given a special place above other works, but we do have pages such as alleged inconsistencies in Star Wars and Smallville's inconsistencies with the comic books. - SimonP 15:17, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete so-called list has only one entry. Topic covered in much greater detail at Alleged inconsistencies in the Bible (and probably elsewhere too). Note to closing admin: Please feel free to ignore this vote or count it as Keep if this list is significantly expanded before the end of the AfD period.

• Merge and redirect per Crotalus horridus, that's exactly the right thing to do - David Gerard 17:48, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as per above. The subject matter is fine and if we can have an article looking at inconsistencies for Star Trek: Enterprise we can certainly have one for the Bible, but it's already covered elsewhere. 23skidoo 19:47, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Don't merge because people reading the other entry may not be interested in the inconsistencies if considering the bible as a monolithic whole. Don't delete, because knowledge of inconsistencies is of assistance to the scholar when analysing the bible as a collection of separate works. 21 Dec 2005 (EST)
