Religion in the State of Palestine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is essentially a Content Fork for material that already exists in the following article: State of Palestine (see Religion section). It is redundant. Also, there is no material in this article that is not already covered in the other article. Steve Quinn (talk) 02:18, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * NOTE If "there is no material in this article that is not already covered in the other article" was ever true, it certainly isn't now. This is much longer. Johnbod (talk) 15:51, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Revert back to initial edit, which is a redirect – this is a redirect page that someone copied a content fork over. Or delete it, and re-establish the redirect.  &mdash; The Transhumanist   02:26, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to State of Palestine - present article state has NPOV issues (e.g. lack of Jews, focus on Christians) as well as sourcing issues (citations lacking for much of the content). If the article is properly expanded - then it can be standalone, but at present the redirect target is better than what we have here. Icewhiz (talk) 08:19, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * There are Jews living in the State of Palestine? Are you sure? How many? The source at note 1 says "A small number of Jews associated with the Neturei Karta movement oppose Zionism on religious grounds, and refer to themselves as "Palestinians."" - it doesn't say they live there, and at least the vast majority don't. The NPOV/error elephant in the room is that all the Muslims are said to be Sunni, which is (unsurprizingly) not the case; the main State article is better on this.

 * Depending on the definition of the State of Palestine (e.g. if it includes the entire West Bank) - then yes - there are quite a few Jews in the State of Palestine (e.g. see CIA factbook for one estimate). Icewhiz (talk) 16:03, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, I wasn't - you may not have noticed, but West Bank ≠ State of Palestine. As I understand it, that the various Jewish West Bank settlements and part of Hebron are not in the territory controlled by the SOP is a matter of great contention. Johnbod (talk) 18:49, 14 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge to State of Palestine; this one has more detail, though see above. Johnbod (talk) 15:42, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
