Jewish navy

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

Apparent WP:HOAX. The book cited can't be found on worldcat or Goggle Books. The commander, David Berger, does not appear on a Google search. The story sounds odd: 42 guys held the entire city of Jaffa under siege for six months? Where were the British? Nudve (talk) 19:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - absolutely no concrete evidence that the article says the truth. Probably a hoax. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 19:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No WP:RS and no WP:Verifiability. The way the story is told (a full city blockaded during six months) this event would be known. Probably an hoax. Ceedjee (talk) 20:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Probable hoax. The book cited doesn't appear to exist. Even the OUP website didn't give a result for it. Bart133 t c @ How's my driving? 20:26, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete in keeping with my comment on the talk page.--Gilabrand (talk) 20:51, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:RS and WP:V--  Darth Mike   ( Talk  • Contribs ) 20:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Evidence? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The nom's evidence is convincing enough. The cited book doens't exist, for one, so I'm convinced. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:51, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete -- sorry to join the chorus late. Prior to AfD, I'd also checked for sources. HG | Talk 05:33, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
