  • For what it's worth, and I hope that's something, my feelings are the same: a separate article is warranted if the parent concept's page is too large or the topic is so famous that people outside of a Unification Church setting will be searching for it. I don't think either criterion is met, myself, and would like to see it merged back to Unification Church. Geogre 00:52, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Looking at the article in question, someone more expert in Unificationist theology needs to explain how this is more than the avoidance of fornication and adultery. If this is not done it needs simply a mention in the Unification Church, fornication, and adultery articles. As it stands delete.--Samuel J. Howard 04:53, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete; agree with SJH above. Jeeves 06:52, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Still merge into Unification Church and delete. Noisy 08:03, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Change to redirect, just in case someone has heard of it and searches for the term, though I agree with Geogre that it's unlikely. I added the following sentence to the "Celibacy and marriage" section of the Unification Church article: "The Unification Church uses the term 'absolute sex' to refer to its teaching about sexual morality, which is essentially abstinence before marriage and fidelity thereafter." If the absolute sex article is kept as is, then its occurrence in that sentence should be wikilinked, but someone clicking on it for more information will be disappointed.

  • Merge any useful content with Unification Church and redirect -- Graham ☺ | Talk 13:39, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect - David Gerard 18:46, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge and rederect. Fire Star 20:50, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Incidentally, I was who re-listed this; reformats of the page make that unclear (I also gave Graham ☺ a rather rough time of it). I don't see much point in having "Absolute sex" as a redirect, especially given the "[[newspeak" nature of it: the concept has more to do with abstinence and monogamy than sex per se. -- orthogonal 11:04, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • Unless there is another use you canfind for the title 'Absolute sex' it is my understanding that a redirect is always preferable to conserve the edit history of the merged material. And don't worry about giving me a hard time, I have very thick skin... -- Graham ☺ | Talk 16:38, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
