List of battles between Israel and the Philistines

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

Too specific. Not notable in its own right. While List of biblical battles would be appropriate, this is just too minor and specific; it encourages articles like List of battles between Israel and the Canaanites, List of battles between Israel and the Assyrians, and List of battles between Israel and the Greeks, which would all suffer from the same issue Clinkophonist (talk) 19:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I concur, but would prefer to merge and redirect this into an existing article / list, if one could be found. I'm usually against list on Wikipedia, but this is well-defined enough that it could go into a larger, less specific list. - Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 19:26, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - A category would be more appropriate. Deb (talk) 19:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Redirecting to an appropriate article would be preferrred. Catgeorization may work in tandem with a redirect. Majoreditor (talk) 20:58, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge Into Philistines. The two redlinks should be addressed, too. Pastor Theo (talk) 22:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge content into two separate places: Philistines and List of battles before 601. SMSpivey (talk) 18:02, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - this list as it stands doesn't accomplish much (and is incomplete), and could stand deletion. But a full article about Battles between Israel and the Philistines rather than a mere list would seem appropriate.  Maybe this list could form the beginning of such an article.Rlendog (talk) 01:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
