Ayn Karim and Ein Karem are the same place. Two articles on the same place are unnecessary.--Geewhiz (talk) 15:39, 12 February 2012 (UTC) This is an old discussion had 2 years ago, the Zionists lost then. Due to their intransigence in incorporating relevant details from mandate period.Ashley kennedy3 (talk) 08:13, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, from what I recall; user Fipplet (who was most definitely pro-Israeli, blocked/unblocked a bit) started this article, as "someone" did not want the info-boxes which goes with the 48-villages to go into the Ein Karem-article. Personally, I think we should revisit this discussion; this article is only 5 K, the other 14 K, if we added both, we *migh* end up with one decent article, instead of two shabby ones.

According to Walid Khalidi cited by Nur Masalha and others, Ayn Karim was one of seven villages whose buildings survived intact. The relevant thing is how reliable sources treat the villages. Are they seen as separate or the same village? --IRISZOOM (talk) 21:50, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
