Levite Tithe

~~Created as a WP:POVFORK of Maaser Rishon to present a specific POV independent of other editors.~~ Any non-duplicative reliably sourced material can be merged with Maaser Rishon --Shirahadasha 17:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC) Agree with Pharamond that this is a simple content fork, not a POV fork, and existence of two articles representing two POVs would better be addressed through a merge proposal, which has been made. --Shirahadasha 14:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: As far as I can tell, Levite Tithe, the alleged "POV fork", was created two days earlier than the article the nomination claims that it was forked from. Did someone use a time machine to accomplish that? (Levite Tithe was created, more or less fully developed, on November 12, 2006, and Maaser Rishon was created two days later, on November 14.)

Keep. As noted above, it cannot be a POV fork, since it was created first. Maaser Rishon is the POV fork. By the way, Levite Tithe isn't representing an independent POV of the other editors (not least because the article was created first), but is actually representing this article in the Jewish Encyclopedia. I'm going to spoil the fun of anyone who wants to guess who it was that created that POV fork - it turns out that it was Shirahadasha, the editor raising this afd--User talk:FDuffy 22:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rubbish. When I made my post on WP:JEW, I was unaware of this discussion. JFW | T@lk 22:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Pharamond's point is well-taken and I agree this article does not have the same history as Aaronids, its companion AfD, and shouldn't be treated in the same fashion. Accordingly, I now believe a merge proposal would be the best way to handle the parallel articles Maaser Rishon and Levite Tithe, and both this AfD and the parallel AfD for Maaser Rishon should be closed as premature without prejudice to future actions. --Shirahadasha 02:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
