Maccabean Revolt

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is an article already called: Maccabees. No need for an extra or similar one. Jerm729 (talk) 00:31, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Are you kidding me? This event is unquestionably covered in multiple independent, reliable sources. The fact that there is already an article on a related topic does not take that away, even if their content overlaps significantly. &there4; ZX95 [ discuss ] 02:20, 16 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep: the Maccabean Revolt is a subject distinct from the Maccabeans; though it is what they are the most famous for (which, I assume, is the nominator's reasoning), the two topics (each extensively covered by suitable sources, per ZX95) are distinct. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 02:27, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep The article itself references more than enough reliable sources to justify a keep. There is no way that this nomination is going to end in anything but a keep, so I recommend a snow keep per WP:SNOW. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:41, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep The revolt is a topic that stands on its own, separate and apart from the Maccabees article, backed up by reliable and verifiable sources. Alansohn (talk) 02:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * @ZX95, הסרפד, Spirit of Eagle, Alansohn - Article: Maccabees covers the exact same thing if you actually read both articles. An article with reliable sources does not make a phony article legit for Wikipedia. Simply this, Maccabean Revolt is a WP:SA that covers some exact information as Maccabees covers more of the same. --  ♣Jerm♣  729 03:03, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Jerm729: No, it does not. The Maccabees were a historically important family; the Maccabean Revolt was one war they waged. That, considering that the Maccabean Revolt has in-depth coverage in its own right, is reason enough for a separate article though it is a stub for now. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 03:10, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * הסרפד: The article is basiclly covering and using information from articles: 1 Maccabees and Hasmonean dynasty, Also, 1/4 of the reliable sources is a dead link. -- ♣Jerm♣  729 03:32, 16 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep The revolt is a topic in its own tight. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:06, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly this article differs from Maccabees. Although this needs work, the subject matter is definitely notable. Why didn't the nom at least have a discussion on the talk page before making such a silly proposal?  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 07:11, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
