Ancient Canaan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I made it clear to the author of this article that it must either be redirected to Canaan or deleted altogether, since there is no modern Canaan that is commonly referred to as "Canaan". Additionally, the article as it exists now is pointless, and the author has a history of using talk pages as forums about the topics. Since redirecting only results in reverting, Delete.

 * By whit what historical rights your making these judgments that there were no Ancient Canaan?
 * Did you knew that long before the hebrew occupation there were high culture and civilization that was long ahead Europeans.
 * Im myself a European and I dont no problems with the fact that a lot of the Ancient Creece influence comes from Ancient Canaan, from the ancient Arabs high culture.


 * There is no way Im going to let these historical facts not to be featured in the Encyclopedia of Wikipedia.ASEOR2 (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * And that is exactly what the article Canaan covers. Your article covers none of that. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 17:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete or Redirect per nom. Seems to be a simple fork. --Veritas (talk) 17:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You people seem to be hidin the presence of Ancient Canaan, because it's doesn't fit in your agenda
 * How can you deny the high culture of arabs in Ancient Canaan? Circa 5000BC-1000BC?
 * why you the editors of Wikipedia the Encyclopedia want to depress? You must know that the historical events and people in Canaan does begin far before the times of Hyksos/Hebrew occupation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ASEOR2 (talk • contribs)


 * Delete per nom. Any useful content in Ancient Canaan (likely to be very little) can be brought up on the talk page at Canaan as a possible addition.  The article is redundant, as the article's creator has not given any clear distinction between the subjects of the two articles, only indicating that the Ancient Canaan article is a "work in progress."

 * Redirect to Canaan as simple as that. Dekisugi (talk) 17:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Canaan and full-protect the redirect. Deor (talk) 18:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Canaan. A lot of people are likely to search Wikipedia using "Ancient Canaan", so a redirect seems appropriate.  But certainly, there's no call for an "Ancient Canaan" article that's different from the Canaan one. -LisaLiel (talk) 19:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * At this point I accept everyones views and will work on for better article for Ancient Canaan page. Or I might as well adopt the Canaan page to work with everyone else. Either way as we agree it. ASEOR2 (talk) 20:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Canaan. Bible sources are not reliable sources (except to source claims such as "In the Bible, ..."), the sources provided do not provide any proofs for the editor's claims, and the editor is edit warring to keep reverting it away from a redirect.  There is no reason to have two different articles on the same subject.   Corvus cornix  talk  20:31, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Israel vs ancient canaan? Hello? There is no Ancient Israel if there is no Ancient Canaan.ASEOR2 (talk) 21:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The article on Israel refers to the present-day country. There is no present-day Canaan.   Corvus cornix  talk  22:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * That is not an argument. The Ancient Israel page should link to Canaan. There is nothing ancient in Israel, compared to Ancient Canaan, Ancient Creek and Ancient Egypt or Ancient Mesopotamia, or or ... continue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ASEOR2 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. I will fully and unconditionally support a protected redirect. One that ASEOR2 or one of his sockpuppets cannot revert. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 01:32, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
