Jesus: the Jewish POV[edit]

Certainly a good idea for an article, but this is no more than a duplicate copy of Jesus with a few sentences and changes incorporated to it. I wish someone would write a significant article on this subject. Meanwhile what should we do with this one? --Subramanian 05:07, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete as it is a fork of an existing article (if Proposal VII passes, we'll get to speedy these things). Ливай | ☺ 07:54, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • The Jewish POV regarding Jesus belongs in the article about Jesus, not in a separate one. Delete. --Slowking Man 08:01, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia does not write multiple articles from different points of view. Incidentally, when I suggested that forks be speedy deletes, I was thinking of something like this, not of complex situations like the Abu Ghraib photos. Isomorphic 09:30, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete it brings no new information that couldn't be obtained from the jesus page. Xtra 09:40, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete; there's nothing worth merging. —Korath (Talk) 10:02, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge with Jesus. --Is Mise le Méas, Irishpunktom 10:17, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 12:53, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, this is a fork. Contains no information that is already present in Jesus. Rje 14:00, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Forking an article to introduce a certain POV isn't acceptable. Merge useful info in Jesus and delete. Mgm|(talk) 14:17, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

-- To add additional info, I compared the two entries copying the text to a word processor and highliting the changes. The only significant difference is the short section on Resurrection, and the only one a merge would need to acknowledge. Subramanian

  • Merge. The aforementioned section on Resurrection is not bad. --Subramanian 18:11, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge Resurrection section and delete. --G Rutter 20:09, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: DCEdwards1966 21:01, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, no new information that already exists in Jesus article. Megan1967 00:51, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete fork --Jiang 01:39, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete due to its being a fork. Josh Cherry 01:05, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Jesus or Jesus and Resurrection of Jesus (Jesus: the Jewish POV is different from Jesus [1] in two places). I don’t agree with the opinion that we should delete the new text just because it was written in a forked article. Rafał Pocztarski 13:54, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • But I do think that all of the redundant text should be removed. If the new text (the difference between Jesus and the Jewish POV) was bigger than 2.5 paragraphs [2] then it might be an interesting article, but right now it is just an interesting section.

  • Delete. POV fork, little useful new information, if any. Jayjg | (Talk) 22:59, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge the unique information, no need for a gazillion articles on any controversial issue. Mntlchaos 16:56, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. – Quadell (talk) (help) 16:29, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
