Improve the title?

@DrStrauss, Ouro, Mortee, Broter, Non-dropframe, Fayenatic london, BrownHairedGirl, Linguist111, and JohnBlackburne:

Just after the AfD, I thought of another name than the one I proposed (and which was adopted) there, but unfortunately not until after the AfD was over:

"Outline about the Bible"

It is less wordy than "Outline of Bible-related topics", it drops the redundant "topics" (outlines by definition include topics), and the awkward hyphen (subject names usually stand alone: which is the better term here, "Bible" or "Bible-related"?). It is also clearer and cleaner, as the subject is the root topic itself "the Bible", rather than "Bible-related topics" which conflates elements of the subject name with elements perhaps better left in the title outside of the subject name (related = about). And since we arrived at the current title through consensus, according to JohnBlackburne (on Linguist111's talk page), a new consensus is needed to change it again, and so I've pinged you all to consider the new name. Thank you. The Transhumanist 19:08, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
