[edit] Kartshin

This article has apparently been used as a battleground between supporters of two rival rabbis, resulting in cases of blanking and complete replacement of the article. In both cases, the entry is very problematic. The current version refers to a small town in Galicia. No data is provided and the name looks misspelled. Google only comes up with family names. Given the context of the other version, it must refer to a location in the province located in Poland / Ukraine, but that's not even indicated, and Spain has a region of the same name. Again, the name "Kartshin" looks like is a misspelling / anglicisation (it is definitely not correct Polish, but I have no knowledge of Ukrainian.) The old version was an article about one of the two rival rabbis. Problem I: both persons already have an article, see Ben Zion Halberstam (The Second) and Mordecai David Unger, and so has the object of the dispute Bobov (Hasidic dynasty). Problem II: no rationale was provided for giving a biographical article this name.

I propose deleting this entry including its redirect Kurchin (I've tried googling that too, but I've found no town, village or whatever. The only references are as a family name.) Valentinian 23:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
