[edit] Judea Declares War on Germany

Not notable, the article is a short rebuttal of a silly argument on a fringe website (the IHR); no evidence that this is a widespread anti-semitic canard

• Delete this is not independently notable, and I would not trust the Daily Express as a source anyway. Just zis Guy you know? 10:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, that's the whole point of the article (that the Daily Express headline was misleading, and is now being misinterpreted). Seems like useful historical information. NawlinWiki 12:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unencyclopedic essay (and WP:NOT a soap box in any cause, good or bad). It is a common enough Holocaust denier trope on usenet, but there's no reason to comment on it in isolation. If, and only if, there is some good reason (which escapes me) for mentioning the Holocaust denier interpretation of the Express article elsewhere on WP is there any reason to dissect it. As I said, I don't believe there is such a reason, so there's no reason for the rebuttal/explanation. Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. If this content belongs anywhere on Wikipedia, it should be merged into a relevant article, not be a separate article. --Metropolitan90 17:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - the myth actually is quite widespread amongst anti-Semites and the far-right, not unlike they mythical Kosher tax. It's referred to quite regularly on Stormfront, Holocaust Denier David Irving promotes it[1] and it is also promote on sites like [2] - there is even a "documentary" film promoting the thesis[3]. I agree, the argument spread by anti-Semites is silly and ahistorical but so are many canards. It is useful to have an article that reviews the actual facts. Homey 18:58, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into a more holistic article on such Holocaust-related hoaxes. bd2412 T 19:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per NawlinWiki. Historically important, and still referred to today, as shown by Homeontherange. Picaroon9288 23:25, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• Please keep - the "Kriegserklärung" in the daily deliverd the pretence for the Nazis to violate Jewish Rights. Please compare [Reichsbund jüdischer Frontsoldaten]. You'll need a German native speaker to understand the importance. Pitohui
• Rename to "Judea Declares War on Germany" hoax. If there is a rule against quotation marks in titles, there shouldn't be. If it cannot be renamed, then Merge per bd. 6SJ7 01:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. CJCurrie 18:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Historically important headline. --MPerel ^{( talk | contrib)} 23:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete One headline does not an article make.Edison 01:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This headline seems to be often referred to. I hit the wikipedia entry while attempting to verify it was not a hoax. Entry should not be referred to as a hoax, since it was an actual headline. Joncolvin
