On 17 November 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Naamah (Genesis figure). The result of the discussion was not moved.

Scope of this article[edit]

This article is about the character in Genesis 4. Information about other people of that name (the descendant of Seth, the wife of Ham, etc.) should be on the disambiguation page, Naamah. St Anselm (talk) 00:56, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't the scope be Naamah (Bible), StAnselm? If the scope is narrower, it should be reflected in the title accordingly, but then this will never be anything but a stub. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 00:59, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see what you mean. I need to move the page to Naamah (Biblical figure). St Anselm (talk) 01:16, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On, the other hand, we have Judah (Bible), which is about one particular person. So a hat note will also do. St Anselm (talk) 01:18, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually "Biblical figure" would be better, because otherwise the bit about the city called Naamah in the Bible would also belong here... But "Biblical figure" still covers a Sethite Naamah, even if she is not named in the canonical Bible. There does need to be an article about the appearance of the name "Naamah" in allegedly antediluvian genealogies (either Sethite or Cainite or both), since a lot more extrabiblical stuff can be added, and it all belongs on one page, not several, nor yet on a disambiguation page. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 01:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So where do we go from here? You're happy with this article being about the Genesis 4 character? Do we move the Gill/Jasher info back to the disambiguation page, or do we start a new page so that we have both Naamah and Naamah (disambiguation)? St Anselm (talk) 04:33, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think any info needs to be moved; this article should be about both, since it all needs to be on the same page. Why do we need one page to say that Naomi Lamech was Noah's wife according to Genesis Rabba, but a separate page to say that Naomi Enoch was Noah's wife according to Jasher? Just as with the article on Nimrod, surely we can mention all this related extrabiblical stuff together on one page. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 14:46, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Sea Scrolls?[edit]

Is Naamah in the Dead Sea Scrolls? Like the Book of Enoch for example that is also outside of the Dead Sea Scrolls? 174.4.163.53 (talk) 11:38, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]
