Judaism and Communism

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

Unreferenced original essay of dubious encyclopeicity which is not even correctly related to its title. All information (arbitrarily collected under this title) is already present in wikipedia elsewhere. `'Míkka>t 19:08, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect- There is another related article present, Jewish left, which discusses relation between the two mentioned entities. The article provides pretty much the same information in bits and pieces. LeaveSleaves talk 19:26, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * While I agree that the topics are close, but please look at the title: it suggests the article is not about leftist/communist Jews, starting from Karl Marx,  but rather to be about juxtaposition of two worldviews: Judaism and Communism. I don't recall any scholarly sources that provide such research. `'Míkka>t 22:12, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with your point on need of required scholarly sources. And quite frankly, the article doesn't even clarify what its purpose is. My suggestion was aimed at the fact that someone simultaneously searching for both Judaism and communism could be redirected to Jewish left. And the target article does talk about influence of communism and related ideologies on Jews.
 * Also, I notice you hadn't notified the creator. I've gone ahead and done that. Let us see what his/her views are. LeaveSleaves talk 01:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Delete - there's nothing in this article that could not be settled in other, more suitable articles. --Miacek (talk) 17:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is the kind of article that needs scholarly sources. - Richard Cavell (talk) 21:34, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: undefined context (what is the subject of the article?), unreferenced collection of remotely connected bits of trivia. The latter is manageable, but if the article is reduced literally to the relationship between Judaism (religion) and Communism (socioeconomic structure: as defined in wikipedia article), then the only thing remaining is "communism (structure) denies any religion, Judaism included"; details of anti-religious campaigns in the former East Bloc are already provided elsewhere. Apparently author of Judaism and Communism is not prepared to consolidate all this info into a comprehensive article. NVO (talk) 05:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Blank and Redirect to Jewish left. POV-trap article that needs to be put into context.  Regular editors of "Jewish left" may be able to make use of the revision history. Squidfryerchef (talk) 20:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. This is a clear violation of WP:NOR, WP:NOTSOAPBOX and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The creator of the article obviously has no real grasp of Judaism, which is a religion, if he connects it via the title, as he does with atheistic and anti-religious Communism that also violates Wikipedia is not for things made up one day.

 * Keep - the topic is real true and fascinating i hope and wish somebody would have the time and energy to collect the sources to render it valuable for our project--YY (talk) 15:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
