Template talk:Aliyah

I made an English version of the parralel Hebrew template.. Any help in filling up the missing articles or correcting the links would be gladly apriciated. Acidburn24m 18:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I made an attempt to improve it for consistency with the style of other templates and link-wise. ←Humus sapiens ну? 09:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Convert to navbox?
I think this is a great template, but it should be converted to a navigation box at the bottom of the page, which will significantly reduce clutter. There's a reason why 'see also' and 'external links' are at the bottom, it's because related links don't need to be in the user's face, will all due respect to the Hebrew Wikipedia which seems to prefer this approach. Any thoughts? -- Ynhockey (Talk) 16:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Zionist political violence
I have added this to the template. It is an important part of Aliyah, and should not be omitted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.148.42 (talk) 02:59, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I've removed it. It's not "an important part of Aliyah" - immigration to Israel is not political violence. Jayjg (talk) 19:19, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

One Milliion Plan
Why is the One Million Plan in this template? It was a plan that was never put in effect. It's certainly not similar to the rest of the stuff surrounding it the template. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 22:06, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * This is one editor's strong desire to redraw history in accordance with his agenda. This plan has practically zero significance, since it was shelved shortly after proposing it. Certainly not a significant topic in the context of Aliyah, but perhaps should have a paragraph about it in Aliyah Bet article, as proposed at talk:Aliyah Bet.GreyShark (dibra) 13:43, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

I have just been made aware of this thread per at AE. I added the One Million Plan link here in May 2014. If I ever had the template on my watchlist, it didn’t stay on for long. In May 2015, added the template into the One Million Plan article

When you removed the link and had this conversation, you did not notify either me or Galatz.

I disagree with the removal, since the One Million Plan was one of, if not the, most notable of all government policies relating to Aliyah. Its significance is well sourced throughout the article.

It was THE moment when Aliyah of Mizrahi Jews first became a focus for what was to become Israel. The history of Aliyah for Mizrahi Jews should have equal weight, since they comprise half of Israel’s population today.

 * I don't think I'm under any obligation to find out who added information months before I removed it and inform them of my actions. And even if I did, you'd still not have consensus to re-add it.
 * Also, you are still pushing a misinterpretation of the plan that's not supported by the sources. Please see my above reasoning for why it doesn't belong here, which you have not addressed. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 08:49, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Perhaps not, but Greyshark09 above referred to “one editor's strong desire to redraw history”; it would have been appropriate for him to draw attention the attention of whoever he was referring to to this discussion.
 * To address your point about the plan being “similar to the rest of the stuff surrounding it the template”, this is exactly the same point regarding the image that you and Greyshark editwarred out of the One Million Plan article, and that Greyshark editwarred out of the Maabarot article. A couple of good sources (which you and Greyshark have deleted from these other pages without explanation):
 * These sources make the connection crystal clear. Onceinawhile (talk) 08:57, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * What connection are you saying these sources make clear? No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 09:02, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The Maabarot / Immigrant Camps, as these were the “stuff surrounding it [in] the template”. Incidentally, when you opened this discussion the “stuff surrounding it [in] the template” was Aliyah Bet  which you and Greyshark later stated you saw a connection with per the merger proposal! So your argument that “It's certainly not similar to the rest of the stuff surrounding it the template” has been disproven.
 * Onceinawhile (talk) 09:13, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you're trying to say here. The OMP was a plan that was never implemented. The rest of the things in that section of the template are things that actually happened, not plans or ideas. The OMP could perhaps have a short paragaph in Aliyah Bet, but that doesn't mean it belongs here.
 * I just remembered you like going around in circles until your interlocutor is tired and then claiming no response means you have consensus. I don't have time for that so I will bow out now.

What does the plan being implemented have to do with anything? Does this have to do with Jews moving to Israel? If so then it makes sense to include. According to WP:NAV their nutshell states "A navigation template is a template that links between existing articles belonging to the same topic on English Wikipedia." Implementation is meaningless, its if they are related. Its 100% related to this topic -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  19:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * You may have also noticed that the guideline WP:NAVBOX says that "The subject of the template should be mentioned in every article" and despite exiting for years the OMP article doesn't mention Aliyah once. I know someone will probably now go and shoehorn it in, but the fact it didn't happen organically should tell you something. Also the OMP article doesn't refer to other things in the template per #3 in that guideline. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 05:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * ”Aliyah” is the Hebrew word for “ascent” or “immigration to Israel”. The OMP article mentions immigration to Israel a large number of times. In fact that entire article is a plan about Immigration to Israel. The guideline says “the subject” not “the exact word”; that requirement is satisfied.
 * With respect to #3, the OMP article refers to both the immigration of Jews from Arab and Muslim countries and Ma’abarot (before you removed the latter a couple of days ago), which are both topics on the template. So that guideline has also been satisfied.
 * Onceinawhile (talk) 07:17, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Aliyah is a specific term that doesn't appear even once in the OMP article.
 * The fact the template has over 30 links, only one of which is referred to in the article just proves my point. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 11:03, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Once is correct: the article is almost entirely about the topic of aliyah. There is no rule that a particular word must be used, but if that really bothers you go to the article and add the word to any of the many places it would fit. Zerotalk 14:15, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Aliyah defines Aliyah as "the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to the Land of Israel". Does OMP discuss is details Jewish from outside of Israel moving to Israel? If the answer is yes than it should be included. -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  14:20, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

It seems that there is no counterargument here? I will wait a few more days before adding back. Onceinawhile (talk) 14:45, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

 * No consensus against exists here. I can't even find a reasonable argument against. Zerotalk 22:47, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
