Article is a content fork to promote a view of Jehovah's Witnesses. The issue is more of a difference in doctrine rather than an active 'dispute'. The relevant content could be greatly reduced and merged to Crucifixion of Jesus and Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs#Cross, according to context. Jeffro77 (talk) 02:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Delete. I am not convinced its current content does promote the Jehovah's Witness doctrine, but a recent flurry of edits to the opening sentence prove that few editors can agree on the actual point of the article and therefore what form it should take. I agree that there is no "dispute" about the issue; this is merely the case of a single religion dissenting from (or denying) the orthodox view and scratching around for 19th century sources that appear to support it. I agree that the relevant aspects of the JW belief can easily be accommodated elsewhere, and that any disagreement among reliable sources over the shape of the gibbet can be discussed at a different place. This is a troublesome article that has undergone numerous name changes and it gives little evidence that the best-intentioned editors can remedy it. It was probably just a bad idea to begin with.

- Comment - the article was started several years ago to promote the JW view, and then opposing views were added in attempt to provide balance. The fact remains that there isn't really an active dispute between any specific parties. Notable views on the shape of the device purportedly used can be briefly covered at the main crucifixion article.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
