If the Rainbow Study Bible indeed says Jerusalem was destroyed by the Philistines during the monarchic period, it is not even wrong. I have taken this out. 4.249.198.226 (talk) 15:33, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed a section about the "Obadiah School" that's part of the Assemblies of Yahweh. As it says at the top of the page: this article is about people called Obadiah in the OT. And there's already a page about the AoY which mentions their Bible school. It is not appropriate to put a paragraph in this article for everything in the world that's named after Obadiah.

I've left you a message, which is very clear on this subject: see below:

I introduced a section of "Other Uses" on the Obadiah page and it was removed by you[1], on the basis that "this article is about Obadiah’s in the OT". I checked and found no rules contravening what I wrote. In actuality, several of the prophets and or people of the Bible on the Wikipedia encyclopedia, have far more extensive sections of their own:

[2] specific

[3] specific

[4]specific

There's no plausible reason for not having the section on and you will be able to determine this yourself as you peruse through various other

Biblical names that have a similar "other uses" section. Safeguarded (talk) 11:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply

Putting a piece of information in Wikipedia declares not only that it's true but that it's important enough to warrant the prominence it gets here. If there's reason to think that the OSotB is notable enough to need a section of its own in the "Obadiah" article, then let's see it. Gareth McCaughan (talk) 20:49, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the article, it is stated that "Abdil or Abdi" are Turkish names. This is not true. These two names or words are Arabic. There is no Turkish word or given name as "Abdil" or "Abdi."

The statement -which is at the beginning of the article- should be removed.--144.122.104.211 (talk) 14:09, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could there please be a statement (high up) on the page stating whether the subject of the article is a real or fictional person? 49.180.102.125 (talk) 09:32, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
