157:. Those opposing have not offered good evidence to the contrary and the simple fact that the Book of Genesis is the genesis of subsequent uses of "genesis" (couldn't resist) is not a good basis for what should occupy the title. Rather, we are concerned with the most people who navigate to Knowledge's page named genesis ultimately reaching the target article they meant to arrive at among the many ambiguous topics that "genesis" could refer to, with the least hassle and confusion.--

454:. While the Bible book may be the source of the word and the primary topic, it has grown to mean so much more. Moreover, why have "Genesis" just as a redirect when it can be used as a disambig page? When consensus is reached, let's make it move-protected to avoid constant flip-flopping. --
342:
Sure, but that doesn't explain why the nominator stated twice on 10 Sep 2009 that it redirected to the DAB page. I'm just trying to figure out what the nominator means, or if they mean what I think they mean and have just made a mistake. That's why I asked the question in the first place.
653:
I agree in part. Can we at least put the Book of
Genesis first on the disambiguation page? Feels almost absurdly uncultured to place DC and Marvel Comics versions of "Genesis" above, you know, the first part of the most influential book in the world (for better or worse)?
513:, in my opinion. I understand that the band name and just about everything on the disambiguation page derives from the usage in the Bible, but that by itself doesn't make something primary topic – being searched often by our readers does.
256:"Genesis" currently redirects to Genesis (disambiguation). Considering that the term "Genesis" is often used in reference to things other than the bible, it makes sense that a search for "genesis" should redirect to this page.
172:
Post close note: I have also performed a history swap—the non-trivial edit history of the page at genesis (which was redirected to Book of
Genesis and previously to other targets) is now the history of Genesis
664:
214:
I think it's not unreasonable to venture that the Bible book is the primary topic, considering it came first chronologically and most of the other entries are named after it. --
315:
The target has not moved since June 2009 so I don't understand why we're even debating where it redirects to. It's not like it has moved in the midst of this nomination.
385:
196:— Genesis refers to many things, and is redirecting to Genesis (disambiguation). It makes more sense for the "Genesis (disambiguation)" page to just be "Genesis"
686:
97:
638:. While the band should be mentioned above the lead as "Genesis (band)". After all it's the original Genesis - through several thousands of years.
435:"genesis" as a word meaning origin (derived from the Bible) or the rock band would be equal to the Biblical meaning, so a dab page is best.
