[edit] VfD

On April 6, 2005, this article was nominated for deletion. The result was keep. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Jacob Neusner bibliography for a record of the discussion. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 01:37, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It was nominated again, and kept: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Jacob Neusner bibliography 2. Eugene van der Pijll 21:36, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why was the conclusion listed as "keep"?

Why was the conclusion listed as "keep"? Looking at the most recent discussion page on the proposal to delete the article, shouldn't it be concluded that the consensus was to trim down the bibliography to a more reasonable level, and merge that into the main Jacob Neusner article? I am concerned that Neusner's massive bibliography page is (a) not an encyclopedia article, (b) a vanity page, (c) Totally out of line when compared to the bibliographies of all other people on this entire encyclopedia, and (d) not even in line with Neusner's own college! They don't bother to place all this info on their website. Given the comments on the discussion page, I hope if no one takes offense at me attempting to edit this bibliography down to a more modest level. RK 21:27, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

I think that is the best thing one can do with this page. JFW | T@lk 22:06, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Honsetly, This page is ridiculous. I suggest we place all the translations as one entry, (translations of Talmud and Medrash), and similar editing.Wolf2191 15:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I attempted to cut down on entries but it's to much work. I suggest cutting out all translation entries into one main entry. If no complaints over next few days I'll do it. As it is the page is not useful.Wolf2191 15:06, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
