[edit] Khaybar Khaybar

Random demostration chant, WP:NOT indiscriminate collection of info. Either delete, or make the article encyclopedic. Otherwise, can i make an article about my chants? Striver 21:48, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

The creator, User: Zeq have been notified.--Striver 21:51, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete...delete...delete... How's that for a chant? Akradecki 21:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• comment "can i make an article about my chants?" That sounds intriguing; tell me more. (As long as it's not the one about the monkey.) I do think a page on crowd chants could be interesting, but this one is kind of short. I might support merging to a suitable article. Tom Harrison ^Talk 22:09, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, i used... never mind, you know without me telling... --Striver 22:52, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• Merge this information into Battle of Khaybar; the chant seems widespread enough to be notable, and is certainly verifiable, but there doesn't seem to be enough to say about it to merit its own separate article. --Hyperbole 22:52, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Any sources for it being notable? --Striver 22:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

The only source provided states "Some of the slogans were virulently anti-Jewish, as well as anti-Israel, such as: “Jewish occupiers kill them when you see them”; “Global death for Israelis”; and “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaysh Muhammad sawfa ya‘ud” (Khaybar Khaybar, Oh Jews! The army of Muhammad will return; see Arab Countries).". That alone does not assert notability for this particular slogan. --Striver 22:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, while it's certainly not a non-partisan site, Jihad Watch reports that the chant is in common use. And Alminbar.com reports that Jewish authorities have acknowledged that the chant "annoys" them. I think it might be appropriate to compare No blood for oil, which, although it doesn't have an article, does have a link (and redirect). --Hyperbole 00:32, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• comment We could redirect to Khaybar (disambiguation), de-link Khaybar Khaybar, and leave the present one-line description, with a reference to CNN or wherever. It's clearly in use, and not uninteresting, but I'm not sure there is enough to say about it to make a page. I'm open to other ideas. Tom Harrison ^Talk 00:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Do we have a CNN or whatever source? --Striver 01:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I left it on the talk page. So far I have found it only on Lexis-Nexis; I'll look for a more easily available source tomorrow. Tom Harrison ^Talk 03:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Probably this from The New Yorker[1] is the one to use. Tom Harrison ^Talk 14:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• merge with Khaybar. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 14:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Khaybar. Tom Harrison ^Talk 13:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Since there's been several merge suggestions, I've been bold and merged the appropriate material from this article (along with appropriate references) into the article on Khaybar. However, my feelings won't be hurt if others feel this was not the correct thing to do and revert it. Akradecki 16:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
