424:, I'm having a hard time understanding why this isn't seen as a clear POV fork. Most other articles on the topic, while not particularly excellent, have due weight placed on the entirety of the topic - the circumstances of Jewish migration to Europe, the extent of their relationship with European governments and Christian/Muslim neighbors, their professions and customs throughout the middle ages, the evolution of Judaism itself over time, etc. This article has, from the start and for a long time, neglected nearly any mention of these important factors. As has been discussed on the talk page, to claim the extent of Jewish History can be explained through pogroms and expulsions is to push a POV. If it is a POV fork, then cleaning it up will turn it into a redundant fork, and both are precedent for deletion. If it is not a POV fork, perhaps I need to be enlightened.
254:, and other similar articles. This page has substantial POV issues as well, concerns over which have been debated for a long time in the article's talk page. Specifically, it appears this page was forked from the bulk of other Jewish history pages in order to build a historiography that ignores the day-to-day lives and customs of European Jews in the Middle Ages in favor of undue weight on the atrocities that occurred from the fall of Rome to the Crusades. This nomination comes after efforts to improve the article uncovered these other articles making those efforts redundant. It would be better to remove this page and focus improvement efforts on the other pages.
553:- "Articles should not be split into multiple articles just so each can advocate a different stance on the subject." yes, this article can be expanded to include what's missing (and I will help to do so if consensus is keep). But expanding the scope would just make it redundant considering all the other articles out there, so why not work on improving those?
419:
There has been discussion on the talk page for some time - If you view it, you'll see us reaching consensus on how the article should be handled. Specifically, the plan was to focus on Jews in Europe from the fall of Rome to the
Crusades. However, with the existence of articles listed above, and even

is a very small sub-topic. The medieval history of Jews (in Europe) is clearly a notable topic. The POV concerns of the nominator that the article over emphasizes the many pogroms and expulsions during this period are with little merit (as this is the emphasis in many RS) - and are not a reason for

come up as a reason to keep it, especially because the very essay on bad AfD arguments this comes from advises against arguing "keep" solely on the basis that the article can be improved. Every article can be improved; it isn't the reason I've nominated this article, and it would be appreciated if

rationale; a lack of conciseness about why you'd like this article deleted plays into my vote!. And again, a 20-edit account should usually be so green that they don't know how to link to a WP: policy/essay, and saying that you've been here a 'long time' without somehow editing once before raises

begins in 321. The nominated article begins its coverage on German Jews nearly a millennium later, immediately and exclusively writing on the persecutions and discrimination endured. I keep finding examples like this - One article written to provide a comprehensive description of the lives of the

Shouldn't be concerning that new users read how to use AfD before posting here (there's literally a step-by-step guide) . You can see the IP I used before creating the account in the talk page of the nominated article, as I disclosed it. History is a hobby for me, and I've used WP for a long time
498:
all contributors to this argument viewed the talk page to see the cleanup efforts thus far. Someone should respond to my argument above to explain why this article doesn't count as content forking rather than continuously leaving non-argument comments to keep, or to argue ad hominem.
303:- The article will become increasingly redundant as we clean it up, and the POV issues are merited as has been discussed on the article talk page for nearly a decade. Notability of the topic is not an issue, and has not been mentioned as such.
215:
567:
Look let's be real here, there is obviously no way this is going to end up deleted. Don't waste your time. If you have problems with the article take it to its talk page, although I admit at this rate you might get a bit of side eye.
405:
this topic is notable enough. While the main topic is
History of Jews in Europe, there are more than enough bytes so that this is a valid sub article. Any issues on the article should be addressed on the talk page and not via TNT.
530:
This is not a content fork, this is an article expanding on another article. There are tons of "see main article" in
Knowledge (XXG). The Middle Ages has enough information to break out from the main article into a larger one.
