What is this? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:44, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't recall creating this page. I think this was a subpage of another page. -- Magioladitis (talk) 11:54, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and improve - this looks like a list article created from another overview article about Judaism. All the items on the list are blue-linked, therefore of some note, but the list needs an introductory explanation of its scope. Really this AfD has been created eroneously because questions like "What is this?" should be discussed on the article's Talk page. Sionk (talk) 13:47, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. A list article giving a comprehensive overview of Jewish religious movements could be a valuable addition if it is substantially more than a mere list of wikilinks. The present article has no added value next to the articles Jewish history and Jewish religious movements and the corresponding categories such as Category:Jewish religious movements. --Lambiam 09:30, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -I agree with Lambian. If soemone is willing to rescue this, and work on it soon, I would support keeping it. If not, then delete. Bearian (talk) 23:41, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
- Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Not worth salvaging and there is already Jewish history and Outline of Judaism and a host of other related articles. It is also more bad bias by editors creating lists instead of actual useful prose. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 04:12, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Judaism because this is neither fish nor fowl, meaning it's neither a "list" nor an "article" nor a "category" about Judaism, it just duplicates what can be simply found in the {{Judaism}} template and in Category:Judaism. IZAK (talk) 10:45, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Why do we need a redirect? WP has an excellent search facility and other forms of navigation as you have pointed out. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:58, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Response Yes, I am curious as to why we would redirect this: it's an implausible search term... —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:39, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- merge into Outline of Judaism. There is no particular content, and its not a stand alone article, but the Outline article needs a section on History. A quick check shows many or most of the terms here are not included in the outline, and they ought to be. DGG ( talk ) 01:15, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- And then delete? I think you will find that there is not a lot to merge. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:01, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- merge. I copied the content of this article locally, and I'll be adding it to Outline of Judaism sometime soon. No warranties on time, but sometime fairly soon. It alone is Not Nearly Enough (esp before common era timeframe), and I need to search for more stuff on Judaism's history, so requires more time than simply cut/paste. If someone gets to it before I do, I don't mind that either. Marikafragen (talk) 03:13, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
