Labaya was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.
Review: No date specified. To provide a date use: {{DelistedGA|insert date in any format here}}.

The example of the "Amarna letter", I don't think reaches, even minimum standards. (Very, tough work if you were to work on it !)

Delisted GA

This article did not go through the current GA nomination process. Looking at the article as is, it fails on criteria 2b of the GA quality standards. Although references are provided, the citation of sources is essential for verifiability. Most Good Articles use inline citations. I would recommend that this be fixed, to reexamine the article against the GA quality standards, and to submit the article through the nomination process. --RelHistBuff 13:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-Israelites in Canaan in regard to

"One possible interpretation of his name is "Lion of YHWH", which raises some tantalizing questions about the presence of YHWH-cults in pre-Israelite Canaan."

At least according to the Tanakh, Abraham lived in Canaan for around 100 years. His son Issac lived in Canaan, and his son Jacob (Israel) lived in Canaan. It wasn't - again, according to Biblical accounts - until Joseph reconciled with his brothers, and moved his family to Egypt that the "Israelites" left Canaan in the first place.

So while the Hebrew Bible may be considered an inaccurate historical piece to many, it *does* write that - starting with Abraham for 100 years - four generations lived in Canaan, up to the move to Egypt (the fourth generation), and later the Exodus out of Egypt and back to Canaan. So evidence, or even the concept of pre-Exodus worship of YHWH shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
