Binding of Isaac article name change

Five editors have responded to my proposal to change the name of the article Binding of Isaac to "Sacrifice of Isaac" at Talk:Binding of Isaac#Name of this article. Four oppose and one is neutral. The consensus is opposed to the name change. I'll therfore leave the article as currently named ("Binding of Isaac") and consider the matter closed. Thanks for your participation! --Bryan H Bell (talk) 03:15, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I didn't think it should be controversial, it appears straightforward to me. Not every action in Israel/Palestine can be subject to insane disagreement, surely...?--Relata refero (disp.) 22:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See, now I had no idea it had been prod-ded before. Well, it appears to me that there are no sources provided about the term, but only sources that use it. This means it fails WP:NEO. Relata refero (disp.) 22:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In what context? I suppose an article about pre-Herzl Zionism might conceivably exist, either under this name, or more probably with a redirect from here to that article; but an article about current sympathies for Palestinian groups or ideologies? I don't know, it seems we already have a lot of those under various names... --Relata refero (disp.) 23:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1. I've done some more looking, and it seems that I can justify removing the prod and replacing it with a redirect to History of Zionism.
2. About modern usage: Well, it seems rare in reliable sources. Here's what I suggest: work on an article in your userspace on modern Western sympathy for Palestine; when it passes stub-stage, we can look at it again. About other articles, aside from related ones like Islamophilia, Allegations of Israeli Apartheid, Criticism of Zionism and New Anti-semitism, I find it difficult to see anything going into this proposed article that wouldn't be covered in Media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Relata refero (disp.) 23:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A good way of limiting ghits to reliable sources, such as we should be using, is search Google books instead. When you do that, you'll see that the use of the term in reliable sources trends very heavily in the opposite direction. We can put a line above the History of Zionism article saying "Palestinophilia redirects here. Perhaps you are looking for..." Relata refero (disp.) 23:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can I think about it and get back to you in a bit? Perhaps I should do more reading. Relata refero (disp.) 23:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Babel

Hi. Its based on Hebrew Wikipedia, (see ex. here), and the idea the websites in Hebrew reverse everything. Regards Epson291 (talk) 06:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it makes it more odd to read. I'm not sure if anyone else prefers it that way, no one has commented yet (till you). Epson291 (talk) 06:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cute

Only someone who knows your real name could appreciate the pun behind your username. By the way, I still have your key and you know what I'm talking about ;) ... נחמו נחמו עמי --רח"ק | Talk | Contribs 05:11, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ezrat Torah

I think you should start the article about the Ezrat Torah neighborhood of Jerusalem, especially as you are a resident of said neighborhood and it is significant enough to warrant four top results on Wikipedia search [1] proving its pivotal existence in the global scheme of Wikipedia worthiness.

Yeshivish Jews

Keyed In, I made some edits on the Yeshivish Jews page. Tell me what you think. Thanks for raising those concerns. I think they are valid ones. Thanks for the work you've done on the article long before I got there.

I chose world view over ideology, but I'm not sure I made the right choice. I found this which talks a little about these terms. Bus stop (talk) 21:59, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Yeshivish Jews

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Yeshivish Jews. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yeshivish Jews. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:21, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since this discussion has veered from the AfD topic, I decided to continue here...There are about 200 pages that link to the Yeshivish article. Some are from templates, but it is difficult to tell how many, and the "Hide transclusions" option doesn't seem to work. My question is two-fold:

• If the AfD fails, do you agree with the idea to move the Yeshivish Jews article to Yeshivish (after moving that article to Yeshivish (dialect)) and to edit the article to deal with the descriptive term?
• Are you aware of any way (bot?) to quickly change all links to Yeshivish to point to the new name?

Thanks and שבוע טוב, Keyed In (talk) 19:28, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the AfD fails, I agree with your original idea of changing the title "Yeshivish Jews" to "Yeshivish (adjective)." However, I also think that "yeshivish" and "baalabatish" should be included in the Haredi Judaism article, with a link to this larger article. I'm not aware of any bot; usually I just do something like this manually. Kol tuv, Yoninah (talk) 15:16, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
