[edit] Inclusion of Jesus
On 1/6, an editor added the following: Do not include figures where there is a broad tradition of such belief such as Jesus. However, Jesus is in this category currently. Should we remove the language in the category about not including those with a "broad tradition" of belief, or should we remove Jesus from the category? janejellyroll 01:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- My personal opinion is "broad tradition of belief" is rather subjective and it would be more in keeping with NPOV to just remove the restrictions on the category added on 1/6. janejellyroll 01:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

- Agreed. I'm doing that now. JoshuaZ 20:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Others?
What about Menachem Mendel Schneerson? What about David Koresh? Did these guys self-declare? If they did not, they sure came awfully close.--Filll 19:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Overlapping categories
High-five to the editors of List of messiah claimants. It's a good model for how the various self-claimed deity categories ought to be organized. I'm hoping someone less busy than me will undertake the task of organzing the overlap. --TheEditrix2 15:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
