The article Joseph of Arimathea already quite adequately covers Arimathea, which has only the shadowiest existence separated from that shadowy figure. The temptation will be thoughtlessly to split away an "Arimathea" article, thus losing the sensible context that helps make both subjects clear. Rather than cannibalize the existing article, shall I copy and paste the Arimathea material here, too? --Wetman 07:50, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
- Where a word to the wise is sufficient, fools rush in where angels fear to tread! So now we do have an article on the mythic "Arimathea" after all, one that has deleted the sentence "To find a parallel resonance in the English-speaking tradition, it would be somewhat as if a helper in need turned up who was from Camelot." Caveat lector: knowledgable users of Wikipedia always read the associated Talkpage too. --Wetman 09:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
