This cookbook is likely notable, but sources are not easy to find. I want ahead and moved to article space hoping to attract attention from editors who might have access to sources that aren't online. valereee (talk) 16:20, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

An affiliated website (adventist books) says, "Ten Talents, first published in 1968, has been called "The perennial 'best-selling' vegetarian cookbook" and "the all-time classic vegetarian's Bible." Now in a new updated edition, this 2009 Silver Medal Award winner in the Living Now Book of the Year Awards Contest - Cooking/Natural category is back" here but I don't know how to assess those. valereee (talk) 16:26, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I've changed my mind about this (see Help desk, February 17). I think this article should move to plain Ten Talents, replacing the redirect, and a hatnote placed on it to guide anyone looking for the biblical article. "Ten Talents" is the name of this book, not the name of the parable (which has no definite name, being an untitled extract from St Matthew's Gospel).

Note also that "Ten Talents" as a redirect was receiving very few pageviews. Any other opinions?: Bhunacat10 (talk), 15:05, 21 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'm happy with moving to Ten Talents! valereee (talk) 16:38, 21 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
OK, move requested: Bhunacat10 (talk), 17:55, 24 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
My thinking would be to keep the current arrangement. I can see the rationale for moving; somehow it doesn't 'right right' to me. MaynardClark (talk) 00:59, 26 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Ten Talents (cookbook)Ten Talents – At present Ten Talents is a little-used redirect. It is the actual title of the cookbook. A hatnote will be added after the move. See Talk:Ten Talents (cookbook)#Title : Bhunacat10 (talk), 17:52, 24 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:36, 24 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Let it be clear that this is not a tussle over whether a cookbook or a parable is the more "significant". It's simply a contention – which seemed to me obvious – that our article title Ten Talents belongs with the only topic we cover that has Ten Talents as its name: Bhunacat10 (talk), 10:19, 25 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Let it be clear that this is wrong. Look at the first musical setting of some common text. The text should NOT be the article name, but point to where it comes from. A reader looking for the text will not be served by arriving at a specic composition setting it. (Example: Jauchzet dem Herrn, alle Welt from Psalm 100 vs. Jauchzet dem Herrn, alle Welt (Mendelssohn)) Similarly, a reader searching for the talents, just with the wrong number, should not arrive at a specific cookbook. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:51, 25 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Okay, so I'm not clear on what just happened, but I'm fine with 'Ten Talents' going to a dab. That what what I had originally requested help with as I figured it was a complicated enough set of moves that I'd break something and cause more work for someone else than just asking them to do it. If everyone else is happy, I am. valereee (talk) 12:23, 25 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
