Israeli peace camp

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is essentially a polemic with blatant disregard for NPOV. It has only two sources; the rest is unverified original research. The topic itself is weasel wordy and all of the relevant material is discussed elsewhere on Wikipedia in better articles such as Politics of Israel, Anti-Zionism, and Peace process in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

 * Keep A Google Books search here and Google News Archive search here show that "Israeli peace camp" is the term used for decades to describe the broad array of Israeli political forces advocating peace with the Palestinians. Shortcomings in the current version of the article should be addressed through normal editing rather than by deletion of an article about a notable topic.

 * Keep: GHcool is correct that this article is pretty dreadful. It is also true that, given the dynamics of advocacy editing in the Israel-Palestine field, it will be a challenge to create an article of any quality. On the other hand, there is no denying that the article is about an important, much-discussed and researched phenomenon in Israeli life and politics. --Ravpapa (talk) 07:39, 30 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Politics of Israel. As the lead itself says, "The peace camp is mostly associated with Israeli left-wing politics". This is but an unnecessary fork of that subject, with a sexier title. Even Hebrew wikipedia doesn't have a corresponding article. Poliocretes (talk) 08:02, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think there is any group in Israel with a policy of "we hate peace". This label for an article should be taken with skepticism. Looking at it skeptically, this is really just a bunch of WP:SYNTH, with no evidence that this is a common label. Also, no corresponding Hebrew article is fishy.

 * Keep - poorly sourced and non-neutral in places, but fundamentally a notable concept and a legitimate subject of an article. I don't agree that it duplicates the articles listed by the nominator; there doesn't seem to be any one other article which covers this specific grouping (although Peace movement has some crossover). Politics of Israel, for example, focuses more on the parliamentary parties than extraparliamentary campaigners and pressure groups. As for the title - well, 'the peace camp' is what its own members call it, so it's a fair title. The 'Criticism' section makes it quite clear that not everyone sees it that way.

 * Delete It's difficult to see how this article could ever be anything that doesn't violate NPOV or SYNT. Jtrainor (talk) 23:04, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
