888 - the number for Jesus

--59.95.47.187 (talk) 08:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC) In the 1999 book The Greek Qabalah by Kieren Barry, the number 888 is presented as a representation of the name Jesus. __meco (talk) 08:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to also be a website – JESUS 8880 – which focuses on this topic. __meco (talk) 09:36, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that's accurate (I notice you don't have an ISBN for the book), it might be noted somewhere. The website has no significance to Wikipedia, as it appears to be a personal ~~rant~~ essay. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:11, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's searchable on Amazon so it would be easy to find the appropriate quotes for the above. __meco (talk) 16:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in Carlo Suares' Cipher of Genesis there's a very interesting exposition of the Hebrew letter-numbers which details the significance of 888. Of course, all qabbalistic systems will have a take on this, but we should start with what we have ready at hand. __meco (talk) 17:03, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry about not checking Amazon. My only excuse is that a multiply-renamed editor (two, actually), frequently quote books which turn out to be self-published, or at least, have no publisher discernable on a google, amazon, or google books search. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, I'd never heard of Weiser Books before. Are they credible among numerologists? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:18, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just because they're prolific doesn't mean that they're credible. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

888 (disambiguation) → 888
888 → AD 888

– Similarly to other cases, there are many meanings for "888", and the year is not an obvious primary topic. — JFG ^talk 13:34, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Support per nom. It would seem there's no clear primary topic (the pageviews of the surrounding years make that pretty clear). We might want to move the disambiguation page to the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 13:43, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. For the same reasons as I gave in e.g. Talk:123 (disambiguation)#Requested move 2 December 2019. Narky Blert (talk) 13:53, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:23, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The number has ten times more pageviews than the year, even before we remove accidental visits to the year and consider topics like 888casino which might commonly be called simply 888. Certes (talk) 14:25, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Hyperbolick (talk) 14:42, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support the number if anything is primary over 12x the views [[1]] and being the original usage but its safest to disambiguate. Crouch, Swale (talk) 15:01, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
