The result of the debate was no consensus; default to keep. I'll just let the merge tags stay on the article. Johnleemk | Talk 15:35, 7 February 2006 (UTC) reply
This article should be deleted for reasons similar to those stated above at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criticism of the Bible: 1) There already exists Internal consistency and the Bible, so why is this article needed or justified (besides just being another avenue to attack the Bible)? Does every article get to have an "opposite" mirror-image nemesis created? 2) It's a violently POV fork that was created as a spin-off from Internal consistency and the Bible and Criticism of Christianity. 3) It creates confusion with the topic of the Documentary hypothesis which is an acknowledged academic area of study whereas 4) this topic is just trolling. 5) It has nothing new to add as it regurgitates paragraphs from entire articles that already cover this topic such as: Ethics in the Bible; Internal consistency and the Bible; The Bible and history; Authorship of the Pauline epistles. 5) In addition there are scholarly articles such as Biblical canon; Biblical inerrancy; Names of God in Judaism; Synoptic problem; Textual criticism; and many others that provide venues for the never-ending stream of "criticism/s of the Bible" (which other work gets attacked so much?) 6) At any rate, the tone and motivation of this article is thoroughly suspect and disgraceful and 7) it's therefore not deserving of a spot on a respectable and self-respecting Encyclopedia (i.e. it's not encyclopedic).
