Talk:Heter iska

Merge with Usury in Jewish Law
I am planning in the next few day on creating a new article Usury in Jewish Law and merging this article in to the new one. I think that this topic is hard to present alone and needs greater context. The hebrew wikipedia seems to lump all of the laws for ריבית in היתר עסקה which I don't think is a good idea. Any objections? Jon513 17:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Please reconsider. The reason why it would be good to keep this article under its present title would be to generate traffic from google. Heter Iska was searched for 80 times in Yahoo last month, so it would probebly be a few hundred times (google dont disclose). I would love to contrbte to the new article, but it need not me merged.

 * Generating more traffic is not a factor in naming articles. In any event I don't think that it would matter since heter iska would redirect to the new article.  Jon513 11:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Actualy not, the article will not feature high in the search ranking if the title does not include the searched term. It can depend on incoming links actualy, but its doubtful we will recieve as many links for the new article as the term 'heter iska'. By the way it is a factor somewhat. But we'll see as we progress.
