Talk:Old City/Archive 1

How can they have been built in the 1530s after they were razed in 1544? Danny 19:21, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)

The information in this article (to the extent it is correct) belongs in Jerusalem. --Zero 06:10, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Old City Redirect
Is there any good reason why Old City redirects to an article on the Old City's walls? Surely the Old City is prominent enough to deserve its own article? Ayinyud 14:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that IZAK successfully 'rescued' the 'Old City' title since it hadn't been taken yet. I think that it is just waiting for someone to remove the redirect and start it properly. --Shuki 21:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Move to Jerusalem's Old City
Is this article about the walls? Or the area? Ewlyahoocom 18:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I propose that Old City should be an article in its right, and not a redirect to the walls. Thus we can have two articles, one about the actual walls, and another about the area within the walls. Any better ideas? Ayinyud 17:01, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Agree --Shuki 21:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I am going to be bold soon, if nobody voices an opinion to the contrary, and more this to Old City of Jerusalem - CrazyRussian talk/email 19:04, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think this should be moved to Old City, Crazy. It would be more suitable if someone started a new article on the actual old city at the article by that name. Ayinyud 10:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with עי on both counts...there's nothing wrong with an article about the Old City's walls, and we need a separate [new] article on the Old City itself as a whole...which article this is not. Tom e rtalk  21:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Fine. Let's! - CrazyRussian talk/email 23:02, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Recent move(s)
I didn't notice the discussion here from last year prior to completing the move, but nevertheless, I do believe the article should return back to Old City of Jerusalem. In the six months since the discussion here, there has been no attempt to create an article about the Old City itself. The walls and the Old City they surround go hand-in-hand (note the coupling according to UNESCO) and, naturally, ought to be in the same article unless it gets too long. It's nowhere near too long, and thus this setup should not be problematic. I omitted the "and its walls" from the UNESCO name because it's a bit superfluous. However, feel free to disagree; nothing is binding. --  tariq abjotu  02:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
