The Disciple who Jesus loved

Original research, delete--nixie 11:39, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Someone speedied this article. I re-created it as a redirect to John the Apostle since that is whom this phrase is generally considered to refer to. LevelCheck 22:20, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• I just did the same with The Disciple whom Jesus loved —Wahoofive | Talk 04:53, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - this should not be a redirect. While it has long been traditional to assume that the Beloved Disciple was John this is a matter of much debate among Biblical scholars and a redirect to John explicitly takes one side of that argument. - SimonP 19:47, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep under the Disciple whom Jesus loved, and redirect the other variations to that. This phrase, and the debate over it, is definately notable. Jonathunder 22:24, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)

Could you please comment as to why? I've worked to improve it, and have added references. Jonathunder 05:21, 2005 Apr 21 (UTC)
