Talk:`Aqiba ben Joseph

Untitled
It has been suggested that the pages "`Aqiba ben Joseph" and "Rabbi Akiva" should be merged.

This is sensible as they are the same person. In my opinion the Rabbi Akiva article should dominate as that is the name he is usually known by and also it is a fuller and a better article solidly based in Talmudic and Mishnaic sources (which are the only sources).

It is sensible to merge them into one article, however, the entry Aquiba must be kept so that someone looking for it will be directed to the other one.

I have reddrected it to Rabbi Akiva and copied to text to the discussion page. Jon513 21:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
