Sum of parts? (not mentioned in the given reference work) SemperBlotto (talk) 13:50, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't agree with the "sum of parts" argument. The term "sun symbolism" has meaning that can not be easily derived from the term itself. Just like a red herring is more than just a herring that is red, the sun symbolism has cultural significance as the symbol of truth. The references section of the article give specific examples of the idiomatic nature if sun symbolism.--KeyFinger (talk) 14:17, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I don’t see any uses of the term “sun symbolism” in the article. All I see is the statement that truth may be likened to the sun. Yes, that is symbolic, but other authors have likened God to the sun (:12). That is not an argument for including a sense “An analogy used to associate the Sun with God”. As wrote, “Almost every thing very glorious, lovely and useful, is likened to the sun”.  --Lambiam 23:18, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I'd say delete for the nominator's reason. Also, the definition is unclear to me – what does a "collection of analogies" or "an analogy" mean in this context? — SGconlaw (talk) 09:35, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
