How has this article been moved around and deleted entirely without any discussion? Anyone care to explain what's been going on? Tiamut 23:34, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article restored

[edit]

The article isn't pretty, but it does contain information that should not be deleted without discussion. Tewfik, please do not just delete articles using redirects without discussion, especially if you don't merge the information into the articles you are redirecting too. --Abnn 01:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is missing sources though, that is an issue. --Abnn 01:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Much of the information on this page is from the CIA Factbook. The contents of this page is very similar to the "Political Geography" section of the "Geography of Israel" article, thus there is precedent for keeping it. --Abnn 01:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit confused by your renaming this "Geography of the Palestinian territories". My understanding of the naming standards was that Geographic information would be dealt with as West Bank or Gaza Strip, which are geographic areas, and not by Palestinian territories, which is a controversial political term with differing meanings.

There is an ongoing effort in WP to blur the lines between the region of Palestine (a geographic region) and Palestinian territories, a POV political term. ←Humus sapiens ну? 22:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Humus sapiens reverted the page back to a redirect today. See this diff. That was unnecessary. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Palestine/Archive2. Abnn and Tewfik seemed to have come to some kind of agreement. --Timeshifter 00:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I like having the page with the 2 geography links on top. There is no need to redirect to West Bank and Gaza Strip. That page is good for disambiguation, though. So I added it as a "see also" link. --Timeshifter 00:23, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geography of the West Bank and Gaza Strip

[edit]

[Later note. Concerning Geography of the West Bank and Gaza Strip this section is copied from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Palestine/Archive2#Geography_of_the_West_Bank_and_Gaza_Strip and shows that Abnn wanted an article named Geography of the Palestinian territories. Here is the last version he worked on. He did allow that article to basically be just a pointer page to separate geography articles for the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. --Timeshifter 20:53, 14 August 2007 (UTC)][reply]

Blanking the page and redirecting against consensus

[edit]

Those who are blanking the page are asked to cease doing so. If you believe this page should be deleted, take it to AfD. Alternatively, you can re-open the discussion. Tiamat 17:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above has two editors (Tewfik, Humus Sapiens) who explictly support the article containing just the two "see also"-like links, and a third editor (Timeshifter) who says he likes that format. You seem to be the only one insisting on inserting non-consensus material - please cease this, and get consensus for your changes on the Talk page first. Isarig 17:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Until I copied over the above section in blue in the last day, it was near impossible to follow the reasoning for the many variations, reversions, deletions, etc.. So Tiamut was correct to demand an explanation. Abnn settled on the version I linked to in my introduction above the section in blue. I agreed with it. That version was much clearer than all the previous versions. From that discussion I believe Abnn said he didn't really care either way whether the geography articles were combined or in separate articles. As long as people could get to the geography info from the logical title of Geography of the Palestinian territories. --Timeshifter 20:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
