This is a proposal to completely and permanently ban any future creation of articles with any of the following titles:
[Note that these do not currently exist, but a recent trend around other parts of the Bible indicates that they are likely to be a potential creation]
The reason for this is NPOV. Although this might seem odd, most people don't realise that:
As you can see, these are absolutely, completely, and completely undeniably, different. This is owing to a much larger problem - the numbering of verses is an artificial invention, and in some cases don't match up between translations at all.
Many modern translations follow the KJV, but the NAB is the official, vatican sanctioned, Roman Catholic translation of the Bible, so is highly significant. Most Hebrew versions of these verses use the NAB numbering.
Therefore, to state that 5:1-14 is one set of texts rather than the other completely violates NPOV, and by extension, any claim as to what 1 Kings 4 or 1 Kings 5 discuss, as well as 1 Kings 4:21-34 and 1 Kings 5:15-32. Thus it is impossible to have any articles under these titles that are NPOV, and in some cases the titles themselves intrinsically violate NPOV. Therefore I propose to ban articles under any of those names. Note that this does not propose banning the subject matter, just compelling it to be under a non-numbering related title
