Requested move 16 February 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: consensus to move. Supporters believe the proposed title is precise enough because we have no other articles on that topic and it would be primary topic. (non-admin closure) — Mr. Deletionist (talk) 01:57, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assyrian captivity of Israel → Assyrian captivity – Concise title. The shorter title is already a redirect. – Article editor (talk) 06:22, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:49, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assyria deported many nations and peoples, not only Israel. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:49, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Anthony, clearly not precise enough to identify the topic. It could be an article on the prison conditions as found in the Assyrian Empire. -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 11:53, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support as it is concise. Ariel ^✡ 07:15, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - it is too concise, failing WP:CRITERIA In ictu oculi (talk) 11:33, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too vague a title, not obvious who it refers to, Judaeo-Christian systemic bias as these were not the only people who underwent Assyrian occupation. PatGallacher (talk) 19:01, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per Nom. Kashta (talk) 19:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I quote Neo-Assyrian Empire: "Beginning with the campaigns of Adad-nirari II, it again became a great power, overthrowing the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt and conquering Egypt, Babylonia, Elam, Urartu, Media, Persia, Mannea, Gutium, Phoenicia/Canaan, Aramea (Syria), Arabia, Israel, Judah, Philistia, Edom, Moab, Samarra, Cilicia, Cyprus, Chaldea, Nabatea, Commagene, Dilmun and the Hurrians, Shutu and neo Hittites; driving the Nubians, Kushites and Ethiopians from Egypt; defeating the Cimmerians and Scythians; and exacting tribute from Phrygia, Magan and Punt among others." Why does "Assyrian captivity" refer specifically to Israel? PatGallacher (talk) 19:35, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support - Sad to see antisemitic opposing views. Mr. Deletionist (talk) 19:45, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per Babylonian captivity and a quick Google Books search. —Srnec (talk) 03:07, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - As mentioned before, The Assyrian Empire invaded and deported many other nations. This article is specifically about the deportation of the people of Israel. Chaldean (talk) 13:35, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:UCRN. Akkadian 21:33, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support as concise. --Article editor (talk) 06:57, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
