Yes, it does: WP:BLPPROD is very strict that any source counts. After all, the dead link could be archived. But looking at Copeland on Google Scholar, it appears that he would be notable under WP:PROF anyway. StAnselm (talk) 16:20, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

About the Miraculous catch of fish Wikipedia edit[edit]

Hi! I noticed that my edit in the Wikipedia page: Miraculous catch of fish was removed. I would like to say that more than 70% of the world is believers in God, as am I. Contributors on Wikipedia are doing so because they are passionate about different subjects and they are passionate about spreading the truth and knowledge. Now that I am aware that there is such a non-profit organization that can scientifically decode the Bible, I feel that I have a moral obligation to do as much as I can as a Wikipedia editor to let the world know about it. I discussed  the matter with others and I also think that Wikipedia should not stop us to be passionate about subjects, because actually we are in a way volunteers for Wikipedia. Please reverse my edit or please advice how may I change the language and yet continue to help this non-profit organization in their research. I invested 15 hours this week to study their page and their researches. Rest assure that I am not an employee of this non-profit organization. Mr.Durnbey (talk) 20:28, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your post. Yes, you are now a Wikipedia volunteer! But we would need what we call a secondary source: a news article or book written by someone else explaining the approach. When I do a search for code2GOD or "Jesus 153 fish mystery" I don't get much: there is this Universe News Network article, but that is not a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. StAnselm (talk) 20:52, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your reply@StAnselm. I encountered this non-profit organization that is actually using the original Bible written in Hebrew to scientifically decode the Bible or in other words to give us a proof for the existence of God. I do believe in God, but I am not a fanatic, but when I encountered that organization it opened my eyes and as a volunteer in Wikipedia, I also want to help that non-profit, because they've been around for 3 years and they are not known on the web. I joined Wikipedia trying to help the world with more knowledge and to recognize the truth, because in the end we all fight for it. The fact is that the code2GOD non-profit organization actually decoded the original Bible. They have something more powerful than ever, they hold the truth! How can we rely on someone's translations, where actually they didn't even understand Hebrew? But in history we showed that we rely on a "thousand-times" repeated researches and after 2000 years we are not sure that they are true!? Right? I believe that the code2GOD has the answer for all of our questions and I am not just impressed by their work, but I really do believe that they hold the truth and they are focused on spreading it all over the world. They are a young organization and I think they should have their place on Wikipedia. As I stated before, 90% of the writings are from past researches and we can't really hold to their scientific approach. As in the Wikipedia page: Miraculous catch of fish, there is a paragraph that states: "The precision of the number of fish as 153 has long been considered, and various writers have argued that the number 153 has some deeper significance, with many conflicting theories having been offered (see the discussion on the number 153 in the Bible). For instance, Augustine of Hippo argued that the significance lay in the fact that 153 is the sum of the first 17 integers (i.e. 153 is the 17th triangular number), with 17 representing the combination of divine grace (the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit) and law (the Ten Commandments)."
As it is clearly stated that various writers have argued about the number 153 that has a deeper significance, but without any explanation. code2GOD gives a detailed explanation of what the actual 153 number means in the Bible. My point is, that readers want proof, and again we all want to discover the truth. We have this non-profit organization that can teach us about the real meaning of the Bible.
How can I improve the paragraph in order for you to accept it on Wikipedia? I think that you've understand my point of talking about real research and decoding that can help the Wikipedia community and every reader in this world to understand the real meaning of the Bible. Waiting for your kind reply! Thanks! Mr.Durnbey (talk) 16:41, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So now we have (probably) another conflicting theory, which I have to say you don't explain very articulately. Being a non-profit gives no special status, & we would need to have references for widespread acceptance by specialist scholars independent of this organization.

August 2022[edit]

I noticed that some of your AfD comments are still citing reasons that don't follow our policies and guidelines, particularly NSPORTS. Recently you've argued that only one SIGCOV source is required to meet NSPORTS [1] (not true, at least one source must be present in the article); that articles without SIGCOV should be kept to counter systemic bias [2]; that "The minimalist view is that for certain sportspeople one source with significant coverage in the article + routine, statistical coverage can be a proxy for GNG." [3] (I've never heard that one before, is it written down somewhere?); that a player should not be deleted because they had a "lengthy career" [4]; and that players who are just starting out should be kept because they're likely to receive more coverage in the future [5] (CRYSTALBALL violation). Given your promise at ANI to follow our guidelines, this really isn't acceptable. Please be sure that the subject truly meets our notability requirements before !voting to keep. –dlthewave 02:26, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Just a heads up[edit]

You commented in the 2034 Winter Olympics AfD recently about HiltonCalifornia. I started a Sock investigation on them as the editing behaviour dead-on matched the sock master. Might not be the best to defend them until the sock investigation clears them, but from the look of it, it is the sock based on a few dead-on article-article and behaviour-behaviour giveaways.

Homosexuality in the New Testament[edit]

Did you really want to revert that? WP:TPO is a guideline, WP:NOTSOAPBOX is a policy. And I'm pretty sure "The bible is quite clear on the subject of homosexuality, and only those who wish to ignore the clearly stated truth of scripture would conclude otherwise" is violating the latter. Black Kite (talk) 23:08, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not happy with User:tgeorgescu's behavior here: he has reverted talk page comments from several months ago, and somehow already ended up at WP:AE. Ronar~enwiki's comments did make some reference to NPOV and are probably no more soapboxy than tgeorgescu's. Continuing to remove them looks like goading to me. StAnselm (talk) 23:13, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that tgeorgescu could have went about it in a better manner. However if we’re going to argue from WP:TPO, Ronar~enwiki’s comments fall under the prohibited material criteria. I have not heard of any time limit, especially when it comes to removing prohibited material. Judging by the history of the article’s talk page, Ronar~enwiki was not in the middle of a discussion either. They simply barged in on discussions which were a few and even several years old. Judging by their conduct, they don’t appear to be here to build an encyclopedia. StephenMacky1 (talk) 01:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And what's with "I have served you with WP:GOODBIAS upon your talk page"?
No idea. But I'm really not happy with stuff like "homosexuality as an act or tendency one indulges in is an abomination", so I am minded to remove it again. I think Ronar~enwiki is suffering from a WP:CIR problem, to be honest. Black Kite (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously, any wikipedia editor is free to believe that homosexuality is an abomination, and here on WP we take no official position on that belief. It's somewhat relevant for Bible + homosexuality articles, but it's only the Old Testament that says this, not the New Testament. StAnselm (talk) 23:38, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but he's presenting it as a fact, not an opinion ("Those who hate God will try any kind of nonsense to deny the truth"). Conflating "what the Bible says" and "what I believe God says" is simply WP:OR even before you get into the religious aspect. And yes, I was going to say that it's only Leviticus that says that, so it's irrelevant for this talkpage anyway. Black Kite (talk) 23:50, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Except that Wikipedia:No original research explicitly does not apply to talk pages. And if we removed every talk page comment that confused facts and opinions we'd have to do an awful lot of culling. StAnselm (talk) 01:40, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jonathans[edit]

Who's the second Jonathan in Samuel 2 then? The only other one on the disambiguation page is a Jonathan in the Book of Judges, Iskandar323 (talk) 17:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The son of Abiathar and companion of Ahimaaz in 2 Samuel 17.[6] I think he probably does deserve his own article. Note that Jonathan son of Saul dies at the end of 1 Samuel, so "1 Samuel" is a reasonable disambiguator, even though there is a song about him in 2 Samuel 1.

A question[edit]

I’m just asking you this because you’re the last person who edited the page Ordinary Girl (Hannah Montana song). I was wondering should we change the cover art to the more official, seemingly correct one? This artwork was actually released on an official cd single release and matches the artwork of the second single I'm Still Good, https://www.amazon.com/Hannah-Montana-Ordinary-Girl-2-Track-S/dp/B0043T50G8, https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B004F78X76. It makes it seem like the regular artwork was just a placeholder or that the single release was a promo single? What do you think? Would this artwork represent the song better? 47.223.46.42 (talk) 05:11, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I tried to fix it but it didn't seem to work... StAnselm (talk) 17:21, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos, and request[edit]

I note you have done some oversight work at the Heiser article. I did a major edit today, restructuring and moving lead material into the main body, and otherwise seeking to make the article more encyclopedic (including noting the most material currently is from Heiser sources per se). Could you look in, and make any needed corrective edits, but also solidify the edit, before someone does a less than thoughtful twinkle-inspired reversion, just because I do not log?
