[edit] Israel and racism

Israel and racism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article, created five days ago, is a content fork as it duplicates other articles - specifically, it would appear to be a POV fork because the article is written with a definite point of view and as an alternate version to more neutral articles discussing similar subjects. Further, much of the body of the article is original research, as is demonstrated by Israel and racism#Zionism racism against some jews. I was initially going to suggest the merger of anything useful into Human rights in Israel, but on further review I don't see anything which matches that description. Israel and racism should be deleted because it does not and will not be able to conform to the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policy. Picaroon (t) 20:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete It's just anti Israeli (and frankly anti semetic) propaganda. Nick mallory 00:35, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:SYNTH - Clear example of taking a bunch of not directly related incidents and tying them together using synthesis Corpx 02:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
• STRONG KEEP. I've just provided some excellent documentation on the article's talk page. --Shoshoni 03:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete obvious POV fork meant to insult Israelies. No way could a neutral article come from this.--Sefringle^Talk 03:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as obvious POV fork. Thin Arthur 08:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
• STRONG KEEP. This topic is related to Zionism and racism, which was the basis for United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379.^[1]The subject of the article is valid, even if the POV is under dispute. Shoshoni has taken the time to establish at least some of the quotations appear genuine, please retain the article to allow editing of the text to establish a neutral POV and further examination of the validity of the quotations made.

• Speedy Delete Per nomination--Shrike 12:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - I see that there is already a Racism by country article. The title for this new article seems inflammatory. Unless this artilce can stand on its own as does Racism in the United States, what is the point here? Anyways, --Tom 12:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

• STRONG KEEP IronyValue These are real quotes, and I think this article, while poorly written in spots, provides some balance to the overwhelmingly pro-Israeli stance of most articles on Wikipedia. Yes, it was very anti-Semitic for Barak to call Palestinians crocodiles, but I see no justification for deleting the article just because some Israeli leaders are bigots.
• Delete per WP:SYNTH, invalid content fork to boot. Burntsauce 17:26, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete obviously POV synth and irredeemable. MarkinBoston 23:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep probably needs to be redirected & merged somewhere though. Eleland 22:49, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Compiling a long list of quotes like that is OR. The article title encourages non-neutrality. --Coppertwig 17:06, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
