Suddenly someone just votes it for deletion but shouldn't wikis edit info "mercilessly" before deciding if the core is delete worthy? Please anyone just start editing it mercilessly and chucking out anything you think is irrelevant and we will see what remains. It is strange to see that the people who nominated it for deletion apparently don't even know enough about
Eberites to have been confident enough to try to edit it first. I have done just that with appologies here to anyone's info which I have deleted. Or is it because the subject matter is just so obscure? But isn't coverage of obscure subject matter what makes Wiki sometimes superior to more mundane encyclopaedias? Or is the objective to make Wiki into a common encylopaedia with nothing special to offer?

Hurrians, who gave rise to the Hebrews and to various other peoples, and who are referred to as "Eberites", are assertions that I cannot find anywhere else. If we don't delete something like this, what's to stop someone from gathering together some names of peoples, some of which sound a bit alike, and making up a history that relates them all?

It seems to me that there is a lot of source info quoted in the article so I don't understand your complaint about references. I have no problem if anyone votes it up for deletion since I already know alot about the subject and it is for the public to decide if they are interested in it or not. -Kaz
68:, a candidate for deletion (see above), has moved its entire contents here. The change in title helps nothing; nobody uses "Eberite" this way either. The article remains pure speculation. An attempt, for example, to connect "Eberite" (or "Heberite") with the Iberians via a Google search turns up nothing other than this article.

I cannot take credit for the whole article but I will defend it. Heberite or
