[edit] List of Arameans

The Arameans are an extinct, possibly fictious nationality that is only mentioned in the Old Testament. The page in question lists 3 names and at one time listed 5 (2 were wrong). It serves no purpose and could *easily* be assimilated into the proper, existing Arameans page. HopeSeekr of xMule (Talk) 16:30, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, or possibly assimilate into the existing Arameans page. Kappa 17:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect. Valid info but doesn't need its own page. Agentsoo 17:25, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge, no redirect. Nandesuka 18:46, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
    • So next time someone tries to find a List of Arameans, they should be invited to start a new one? Kappa 18:55, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
    • What Kappa means, of course, is that we cannot merge without redirect since the GFDL license we use demands we retain the authorship history. -Splash 23:55, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Aramean. -Splash 23:55, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Aramean, no redirect. -HopeSeekr of xMule (Talk) 18:36, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
    • We can't do that, per the terms of the GFDL as I said above. We have to retain authorship history. -Splash 18:51, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Why not just copy the authorship history to the Aramean Talk page? -HopeSeekr of xMule (Talk) 15:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
