Successor of Sun Myung Moon[edit]

This page seems to violate Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball since it is speculation about future events. Northwestgnome (talk) 18:14, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I have suggested making a section on the future of the Unification Church in Unification Church. (I am a member BTW.) This article could be moved there. Crystal ballism could be avoided by only using published opinions. An article only on future events probably is not in the spirit of WP policy. Another point is that Rev. Moon is unique as the founder of the UC and will not be succeeded in that office. The real topic is more like: "Future leadership of the Unification Church."

Merge is appropriate. This is idle speculation that won't matter much when Moon dies. WillOakland (talk) 23:56, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would reply but WP policy forbids me from making predictions. :-) Steve Dufour (talk) 20:25, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Steve Dufour. Jclemens (talk) 16:19, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - There is not a matter of speculation. Moon will have a successor, and he will die eventually. It would only be speculation, if we were guessing the date of his death. When the merge is complete, please leave a REDIRECT behind. --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
