thread_title:  Should this be moved to [[Luth]]? 

message: In my view, the Qur'anic character, Lut, is fully identified with the Biblical character Lot. The two sets of information should be linked.
However, since Jewish and Christians traditions about Lot do not encmpass the traditions of the Qur'an, it would be best for Wikipedia to maintain two separate articles, but to include in each one a reference to the other.
My proposal:
*Lot (person), now redirects to Lot (Bible)
:*Judeo-Christian view of Lot, now Lot (Bible)
:*Islamic view of Lot, now Lut
Lot (person) will contain the undisputed views, while the two other versions will be sub-articles that the main article link to and will include the more specific views. This will link all articles together, remove the bias of one article having the prefered and only correc english title, and will also eliminate any confusion regarding mulitple persons. -striver
*Oppose - I say merge them all. None of them is long enough to justify its own entry, but all of them together makes a nice article. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 15:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Oppose the Oppose - If this and Lot (Bible) are to be merged, under what title would that be? Would Lut redirect to Lot or visa verca? Either way I predict accusations of favouratism. It seems to me that the character of Lot receives attention solely due to the central role he and his family play in the tale of the destruction of Sodom. The Sodom and Gomorrah article is well written and covers Christian, Islamic, Jewish, and secular views. So this article and the Lot (Bible) article are inevitably going to be little "satellite articles", and I don't think the fact that they are both short is a sufficient reason to combine them.

text: So, can i have more input on my proposal? I do agree that merging might not be a good idé.--Striver 09:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose - I would oppose any attempt to merge them, as there would be no neutral name. We have many short articles in wikipedia, and the separation allows the separate traditions to be read separately, but linked. William Quill 11:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

message: As is obvious, a major chunk of the article contains direct cites of verses from the Glorious Qur'an. While the Qur'an IS considered to be the MOST authentic text on subjects it chooses to speak about, directly citing verses into WP doesn't help much to WP's goals as an encyclopaedia. I am thus re-vamping the article, (taking subject matter from my own contributions to Biblical narratives and the Qur'an) and hope to see positive edits from everyone else as well InshaAllah.

message: According to the Bible, Sodom was destroyed because its inhabitants broke Jewish law by not being welcoming to foreigners. There is even disagreement over whether homosexuality is in the story at all. There are two tellings of the exact events but both agree with my first sentence. In light of this, is this article inaccurate in relation to Sodom.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.192.35 (talk) 23:54, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

text: This is true, but it's also technically inaccurate for similar reasons - the People of Lut were not destroyed due to homosexuality, even if Islamic Clerics state otherwise. It's an issue because "officially" it is the case, however as Islam is not a centralised religion, the Schools of Jurispudence are guidelines, not law. Most Muslims live by a mix of one or two, or one more loosely. 89.19.79.35 (talk) 22:52, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Lot in Islam →  – Per the article, the spelling is "Lut" not "Lot". Though the person is the same as the one spelled "Lot" in other contexts, it doesn't seem WP:NATDAB to use a mis-spelling with respect to the article's own context. :Lut already directs here, so alternative is to move this article to that name...a different spelling is obviously an approved DAB method (with hatnotes). However, others have also mentioned here on talkpage that this subject might not be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for this word. Therefore, I instead lean towards switching the Lut DAB to point to :Lut (disambiguation) and moving this page to a "Lut ..." with some DAB term added. I filed Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 February 15#Lut because it's a semi-independent idea as part of this larger shuffling. DMacks (talk) 18:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
