Insufficient material for a stand-alone article. The material is already covered in Emil Fackenheim. Cosmic Latte (talk) 17:51, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Emil Fackenheim. As said in nomination, covered in Fackenheim article. Bsimmons666 (talk) 18:52, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Bsimmons666. This is a notable concept but not necessarily known by this particular name, and it is sufficiently covered in the Fackenheim article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't make an article; pointless redirect. Only 145 unique google hits for "614th Commandment" and the top one is Emil Fackenheim.  Springnuts (talk) 16:51, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect this six line stub to Emil Fackenheim where it belongs, as correctly pointed out by the nominator and User:Bsimmons666, otherwise put: "The 614th commandment - Thou shalt not give Hitler a posthumous victory" in Wikiquote. The rest of the stub is ridiculous as a stand alone piece because a non-traditional philosopher like Fackenheim cannot "formulate" an addition to the more than 3,300 year old 613 Mitzvot ("commandments") of the Torah that's venerated by religious Jews, so that when this stub claims that: "This was formulated by philosopher Emil Fackenheim. Because Judaism recognizes 613 commandments, not just 10, the expression is equivalent to 'the eleventh commandment' in Christian culture. Rabbi Fackenheim meant not giving up on Judaism, continuing Jewish life, maintaining Jewish traditions" -- then his little fabrication here is a just a tongue-in-cheek way of making a literary point, at the expense of classical Judaism, and have it sound "Jewish" when it is actually not officially anything except Fackenheim's own concoction, which were it not made up by him would be a violation of WP:NEO and Wikipedia is not for things made up one day.
