Move?

Does the definite article belong in the title? Peter Jackson 18:14, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, shouldn't Books of the Bible be a subpage? I suggested that a long time ago but no one seems to have noticed. I can't find anywhere to post suggested moves. Peter Jackson 18:40, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't myself think "The" should be there. Just checked WP to see what *they* say about it, and they don't use "the" either. Volume 4 of my 1940 EB has "Bible", so that's two out of two. I suggest that we Move it. (Just checked the NYT Manual of Style, and they don't use it either, so that's three for three.)
As for Books of the Bible, I think a separate article is fine. There's plenty of other material to put in the Bible article itself. But I really don't care one way or the other. Hayford Peirce 19:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

It's quite common for books on all sorts of subjects to be called bibles, even in their titles. However, I don't think that's really appropriate for the main article, especially if it's the. Peter Jackson 10:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
