2008/11/17 DESLIPPE, MICHAEL CIV DCMA CIV DFAS MICHAEL.DESLIPPE@dfas.mil:
What is the proper way to handle a disambiguation that shouldn't be a disambiguation?
Wikipedia lists an entry for Kingdom of God. Then there is a separate listing for Kingdom of Heaven. The listing for Kingdom of Heaven is listed as a disambiguation page for Kingdom of God. Unfortunately,
much
Baptist theology holds that these are two distinct things and not a disambiguation.
What is the proper way to correct this. I made a crude attempt on the existing disambiguation page. Let me know if that is a satisfactory method. I'm not completely happy with it because it implies acknowledgement as a disambiguation where, from our perspective none exists. Had the page not already existed, it would never be explained this way. There would simply be a note indicating that the terms are considered synonymous in some theologies and not in others.
Please let me know what the accepted practice is.
It should be a disambiguation page, the term "Kingdom of Heaven" has multiple meanings, one of those is "Kingdom of God". If there is another meaning in Baptist theology, then create an article, "Kingdom of Heaven (Baptist)" and link to it from the disambig page. You could then change the "Kingdom of Heaven" page to the disambig page, rather than the redirect to "Kingdom of God" that it is now (slap a speedy delete template on the redirect and once it's deleted, move the disambig to that name) - I doubt anyone would object.
