Hebrew of Jesus

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

Appears to be some badly written original research with little context, the entire article has the form of a point list, no reference provided except for obscure names and a few links to Yahoo! Groups Boffob (talk) 12:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or maybe redirect to an existing article that covers this subject in a more coherent and referenced manner. It is a pity that this was not put up for deletion, merging or redirecting before as the authors have clearly put a lot of work into this believing it to be helpful. --DanielRigal (talk) 13:29, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article contains nothing that cannot be either merged to Hebrew (language) or deleted as unverifiable. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 14:14, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I have no idea after reading it what I was supposed to learn from it. The content is only tenuously linked to the title and the content itself is vague and poorly referenced. The topic itself is of potential interest, but this article isn't it. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 23:26, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Considering that Jesus spoke Aramaic... Ecoleetage (talk) 00:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The history of Hebrew is already well covered in Hebrew language. There is room in Wikipedia for information about the language(s) spoken by Jesus, but that belongs in the Jesus article (where there's already one poorly sourced sentence) or in a neutrally titled article if it outgrows that article. There's no information in the article under discussion about Jesus so nothing's worth preserving. And anyway, didn't he speak English like everyone else?

 * Delete I think an earlier version of this article was a bit better than this, but it is an attempt to argue an extreme minority POV which I had not come across before reading this article i.e. that Jesus' first language would have been Hebrew, when there is a clear scholarly consensus that it would have been Aramaic.

 * Cut it down; it shall not stand - OR / incoherent collection of information. AlexTiefling (talk) 15:55, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete in current form - Almost nothing is known about the Hebrew of Jesus other than that he took up a scroll of Isaiah and read from it, and this is some kind of PowerPoint presentation, not a Wikipedia article... AnonMoos (talk) 23:33, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
