Expansion needed

More discussion of the ethical concept of beneficence; material on the Ball State University motto/statue probably belongs at the university page. Claudine C. (talk) 11:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- It seems maybe the statue should be moved to its own article, and the concept expanded on here. L. Pistachio 02:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ethical concept of beneficence- In general, beneficence is about positive action to produce good results. Its a principal, not a virtue. The virtue is benevolence. Beneficence usually requires us to make utilitarian decisions. So beneficence basically goes with utilitarianism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.160.185.211 (talk) 02:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Priorities?

I might be out of line here, but how is it that an article about a statue called Benny at an American university takes priority over one of the four core areas of medical ethics? I would have thought a dedicated page to the ethical principle should come up first for beneficence, or at least the disambiguation page. It surely has a far wider relevance outside of Indiana?

The result of the move request was page moved. Skomorokh 11:48, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beneficence → Beneficence (statue) — Googling beneficence gives almost exclusively the ethical concept and not that damn statue. —Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:55, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree that the common noun usage is more, um, common than the proper noun usage, but there is no separate article on the ethical concept. --RL0919 (talk) 21:21, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then we should move the statue, and redlink to encourage someone to write one; just as we have an article on Patience, the virtue, which is neither the operetta nor the stone lion. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:48, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename and then stub "Beneficence" into an article on the concept, with a box pointing to Wiktionary as well, and a hatnote to the statue. Replacing it with the dab page would also work. 70.29.211.163 (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
