Lacks NPOV, lacks notability LordDimwit ( talk) 18:26, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Genesis 1:28 is the commonly-known "Be fruitful and multiply..." verse. However, this page, which is what Wikipedia sends you to if you look up "be fruitful and multiply" and is the first Google result from Wikipedia, is concerned primarily with the Reformed Tradition notion of the "cultural mandate".
While the concept of the "cultural mandate" exists within certain strains of Christianity, it is not synonymous with "Be fruitful and multiply..." and therefore the title of the page itself is inaccurate and in violation of NPOV. I would argue that the concept of "cultural mandate" is not worth an article on its own; it can be folded into Dominion theology.
As for the verse in Genesis itself, I think its sufficiently discussed in the article on the Genesis creation narrative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordDimwit ( talk • contribs) 20:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
