Talk:Simeon (Gospel of Luke)

message: I'm reverting. This is an article about a Christian saint, presenting the Christian hagiography as it actually exists, and references were given.  There is no call whatsoever for the templates and editorial comments that were added, and no discussion was offered. TCC (talk) (contribs) 03:00, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The  tag should be removed--it is intended for subjecs like Superman or Lord of the Rings, which entail a setting which is entirely and purposefully fictional, but is not appropriate for biblical figures. Its presence on this article is itself POV, as it presumes that the Bible is fiction. Its presence is offensive, and smacks of someone with an axe to grind. It is unencyclopedic and should be removed. MishaPan (talk) 04:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Remove <nowiki>{{in-universe}}</nowiki> tag

message: This article is clearly and unambiguously about the person who occurs principally in Christian tradition and Luke's gospel as an old man around the time of Jesus' birth (roughly 6 to 2 BCE).
There is also a Simeon the Just who, according to his article, was around "310-291 or 300-273 BCE".
Does either tradition make any claim that there was a single Simeon who lived to the age of 300?  It would seem they are two completely different people, living 300 years apart.
I am therefore removing the entirely unsourced material (the alleged "ref" was simply another Wikipedia article) about the ~300 BCE person from this article about this ~0 BCE person.  (But of course, the "hatnote" at the top of the article can stay, so that someone looking for the 300 BCE person can be directed, in accordance with Wikipedia house style and guidelines, to the correct article.)
Of course, if there really is some sort of non-fringe tradition that there was one person, aged about 300, then presumably it can reliably sourced for re-insertion into this article, again in conformance with Wikipedia guidelines. Feline Hymnic (talk) 21:48, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Simeon The Just seems to be an amalgamation figure, probably originally based on one of the Simons who was High Priest in the 3rd Century B.C. but none of those was High priest for a full 40 years as one Simeon tradition in the Talmud implies, nor did either live contemporary with Alexander The Great.  So the idea that the figure form Luke's Gospel is connected to that tradition somehow is feasible, he is called "Just" and his ability to do what he didn't, performing a special blessing on a newborn being presented in the Temple does imply he may have been a Priest.  Perhaps Simon Beothus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.176.92 (talk) 12:00, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Is Simeon the Righteous the right title for the article? In ictu oculi (talk) 07:03, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Evidently not, after checking that title always refers to the Jewish nasi Simon the Just in English texts. The adjective "righteous" doesn't even occur in Russian and Greek except prior and additional to the normal "Theodochos". So a WP:MOVE is called for, but since the "Simeon the Righteous" was already tagged  for some months with no action, indicating that this isn't a particularly actively edited/referenced page I'm being bold and moving to Simeon (Gospel of Luke) - if anyone wants to revert prior to a full WP:RM go ahead, but the current title is the one title that has zero WP:RS support and should be a redirect to Simon the Just.In ictu oculi (talk) 07:42, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The whole part with details on the festivities duplicates with the main article Presentation of Jesus at the Temple and should be removed. Kind regards, Marcocapelle (talk) 07:15, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: That is the date when Simeon is venerated by the people of Zadar, Croatia, who believe they have his relics; the Venetians claim they have them. Manannan67 (talk) 01:43, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
