I have moved this page from Esther Ofarim to Esther and Abi Ofarim. Whilst I appreciate they both had careers after their divorce, it was the period they were together for which they were most famous, and I don't think there's really enough material for two articles. Also, whilst I have added some sources, several of them are from fan websites which I am reluctant to use; however, there isn't much alternative about. DWaterson 00:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I do not think the current setup to be a very good idea. The Eurovision participation is Esther's and she is also the one who made more name. The part of bundling their careers while married under one chapter is actually a very bad idea because Esther had her major successes during this time. Also I failed to see the discussion about the merger and the edit history of the Esther Ofarim article, but that is probably my fault. At this stage I suggest changing this article's name to Esther Ofarim and putting Abi-specific content in a separate article. gidonb 10:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead as you suggest. Having rearranged the articles, I do agree that that it now looks rather clumsy and doesn't read very elegantly. That's partly down to the need to expand the article. I think two shorter stubs might be better in retrospect. DWaterson 14:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

OK I did the basic separating. I will fine-tune this later today or tomorrow. Best regards, gidonb 14:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
