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 [[wikt:conflates|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 [[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]] (on [[User:Linguist111|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. [[User talk:The Transhumanist|<i>The Transhumanist</i>]] 19:08, 11 March 2017 (UTC) |

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:
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)

- No, I think that would be a bad title; it suggests a piece of Biblical theology, summarising the message of the Bible. This page is not that at all, but a structured list of articles whose topics are closely related to the Bible. Outline of Bible-related topics is best IMHO. – Fayenatic London 22:10, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
