What is the proper way to handle a disambiguation that
shouldn't be a
disambiguation?
Wikipedia lists an entry for Kingdom of God. Then there is a separate
listing for Kingdom of Heaven. The listing for Kingdom of Heaven is
listed as a disambiguation page for Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, much
Baptist theology holds that these are two distinct things and not a
disambiguation.
What is the proper way to correct this. I made a crude attempt on the
existing disambiguation page. Let me know if that is a satisfactory
method. I'm not completely happy with it because it implies
acknowledgement as a disambiguation where, from our perspective none
exists. Had the page not already existed, it would never be explained
this way. There would simply be a note indicating that the terms are
considered synonymous in some theologies and not in others.
Please let me know what the accepted practice is.
It should be a disambiguation page, the term "Kingdom of Heaven" has
multiple meanings, one of those is "Kingdom of God". If there is
another meaning in Baptist theology, then create an article, "Kingdom
of Heaven (Baptist)" and link to it from the disambig page. You could
then change the "Kingdom of Heaven" page to the disambig page, rather
than the redirect to "Kingdom of God" that it is now (slap a speedy
delete template on the redirect and once it's deleted, move the
disambig to that name) - I doubt anyone would object.
