Legitimacy
[edit]Forgive me for questioning the legitimacy of this article, but is a tiny village of 60 people (two classrooms in elementary school or half a lecture hall in a university) that does not exist for more than 60 years, deserves an article? Is there an article about every small neighborhood that ever existed in the world? 79.180.58.149 (talk) 19:30, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Is there an article about every small neighbourhood that ever existed? Regrettably the answer is more or less yes all across the globe. Whether that is desirable is altogether another matter. Ho hum. Velela Velela Talk 19:34, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
short description
[edit]Ok, lest this be a central point where we discuss what "short description" of these -48-villages should be (I suspect this will end up as a RfC):
- My suggestion: "depopulated Palestinian village" or "Palestinian village, depopulated in 1948"
- Other suggestion? Huldra (talk) 20:38, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
To avoid the word "Palestinian" is not acceptable; that was the reason they were depopulated, after all. Also, to say that these were villages in "Mandatory Palestine" can be misleading: it sounds as if that was all they were, when many of these villages had a documented history of hundreds, (some cases even thousands) of years, Huldra (talk) 20:58, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- I would go with "Palestinian village, depopulated in 1948". Zerotalk 01:49, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- @GhostInTheMachine and Herniac: what are your arguments for any other solution? thanks, Huldra (talk) 08:28, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- There is value in saying that the village was in Mandatory Palestine at the time it was depopulated, but villages can be depopulated for various reasons, so including the year is probably more valuable:
