[edit] Progressive Judaism (Germany)

Progressive Judaism (Germany) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Note: this article was originally part of another article proposed for deletion - see View AfD) - I believe it is the wish of HG to have all articles involved in the refactoring of Reform Judaism and Progressive Judaism proposed for deletion so I'm am voluntarily adding the AfD Egfrank 14:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

HG. I have not requested this AfD. (I've also deleted a comment of mine moved by the nom from another page.) Perhaps this was an attempt at humor, at doing me a favor, or at making me look foolish, but I don't think it's helpful to nominate articles for AfD in order to oppose deletion. Thanks.

HG - No intent to make you look foolish was intended. When User:IZAK moved German Reform movement (Judaism) to Reform Judaism (Germany) he unwittingly turned what was supposed to be a historical article into an article on the present day German progressive movement. Because the historical period needs to be linked to separately from the modern movement (the historical period reflects intellectual history shared between several streams of Judaism + German philosophical and intellectual history), I split the article into a historical and current portion.
Since the original combined article had an AfD, I was worried that if I did not duplicate the AfD on both halves of the split article, the split up of the article might have been viewed as an "attempt to escape an AfD" for at least part of the article. Rather than risk the accusation, I added the AfD to both halves of the article. Egfrank 04:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough, I'll agf your afd. Anyway, this AfD can be closed as Keep or withdrawn.HG | Talk 05:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
