Requested move

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was support for move on the basis that there does not appear to be a clear primary topic. Those opposing have not offered good evidence to the contrary and the simple fact that the Book of Genesis is the genesis of subsequent uses of "genesis" (couldn't resist) is not a good basis for what should occupy the title. Rather, we are concerned with the most people who navigate to Wikipedia's page named genesis ultimately reaching the target article they meant to arrive at among the many ambiguous topics that "genesis" could refer to, with the least hassle and confusion.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:18, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Post close note: I have also performed a history swap—the non-trivial edit history of the page at genesis (which was redirected to Book of Genesis and previously to other targets) is now the history of Genesis (disambiguation).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Genesis (disambiguation)Genesis — Genesis refers to many things, and is redirecting to Genesis (disambiguation). It makes more sense for the "Genesis (disambiguation)" page to just be "Genesis" ThomasSixten (talk) 05:54, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Genesis" currently redirects to Genesis (disambiguation). Considering that the term "Genesis" is often used in reference to things other than the bible, it makes sense that a search for "genesis" should redirect to this page.ThomasSixten (talk) 19:48, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't. Look at the page. It redirects to Book of Genesis. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:07, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. While the Bible book may be the source of the word and the primary topic, it has grown to mean so much more. Moreover, why have "Genesis" just as a redirect when it can be used as a disambig page? When consensus is reached, let's make it move-protected to avoid constant flip-flopping. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:36, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. While the Book of Genesis is obviously a very popular search target, I'm not convinced that it's a clear primary topic. Genesis (band), for example, gets twice as many page views as Book of Genesis,[1][2] and as such the readers would on average benefit from the disambiguation page being at Genesis, in my opinion. I understand that the band name and just about everything on the disambiguation page derives from the usage in the Bible, but that by itself doesn't make something primary topic – being searched often by our readers does.

Comments

[edit]

The page history of Genesis is rather long and complicated. At the moment, the page has only 5 incoming links from article space. Someone must have disambiguated incoming links recently. --Una Smith (talk) 23:12, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sega sucks. But does it count?

[edit]

Why isn't the sentence "Sega Genesis" in the software section? Is it because SEGA sucks? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Souvalou (talkcontribs) 00:56, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Genesis (only) should point to

[edit]

Genesis, which is followed by Exodus etc. Or i.o.w. Book of Genesis. While the band should be mentioned above the lead as "Genesis (band)". After all it's the original Genesis - through several thousands of years. Boeing720 (talk) 14:22, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree in part. Can we at least put the Book of Genesis first on the disambiguation page? Feels almost absurdly uncultured to place DC and Marvel Comics versions of "Genesis" above, you know, the first part of the most influential book in the world (for better or worse)? --@quadrismegistus
