Talk:Karaite Folk

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... (your reason here)

• Oppose Yes this article is partially a duplicate of Crimean Karaits. But please note the size of the two articles. While the size of this article is over 50 kbytes, the size of the other article is less than 25 kbytes. That means that deleting Karaite Folk will result in loss of information.

• Oppose At first I too thought this was partly a duplicate of into at the Crimean Karaites page, but on closer inspection one can discover that the two subjects are significantly distinct. In contrast however, the Crimean Karaites article, may indeed need deletion for notability reasons (there are only 80 Crimean Karaites in the world[1]) and for being significantly misleading and or off-topic (The Crimean Karaites article gives the impression that the religion of the Crimean Karaites is a form of Judaism, but feast of harvest ‘Oraq Toyu’ (‘The Sickle Festival’) has nothing to do with any form of Judaism) [2]. I don't think these two articles can even be compared.Budo (talk) 12:02, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

This is disinformation .Suggest to review deletion withdraw

The base of this page cannot be "Independently corroborated brief summary of information from the 6 volume Karaite Folk Encyclopedia", because it includes a lot of references that I have add personally (10,11,12,13,14,15,16,23,28,33)to Crimean Karaites page. Actually the origin page is one of Kaz's versions of Crimean Karaites. He had left my references fully distorting their meaning.You can see some of these references on current page of Crimean Karaites .He probably has added the list of other references from Russian page or some additional places ,that in spite of impression of referenced article actually have no connection with his conclusions. If we will start merging of this page with Crimean Karaites we will got the October headache back,of the article that looks like "Modern Karaylar claim "A"... while historical documents say "not A". Actually some Kaz's ideas like "Only clergymen must be circumcised and keep the Torah" are not claimed by any Karaylar. Due to his issue with "Law of Return" I am not sure that Kaz is Karaim at all.See the dialog with him on my talk page. It is not clear to me why Budo cooperates with this blocked user.
