Talk:Horowitz

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Yaakov Yitzchak Horowitz was copied or moved into Horowitz with this edit on 06:13, 14 December 2012. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

The article says: "This family produced some of the greatest rabbinic scholars (Sephardic) of France and Italy in the 12, 13, and 14th centuries." How is this possible if the patriarch of the family is thought to have lived in the 16th century? Sounds like a lot of retrospective myth-making.--74.103.157.38 (talk) 08:58, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 26 March 2021[edit]

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was proposed in this section that Horowitz be renamed and moved to Horowitz family.

result:
Procedural close. For one thing, Horowitz family titles an article with significant content and so is ineligible as a page-move "new" title. Another thing is that the nom agrees there should be three pages, and both the current title and the new title are part of that suggestion. It appears that all that's needed is the dab page, Horowitz (disambiguation). Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy, Healthy Publishing! (nac by page mover) P.I.

Horowitz → Horowitz family – Horowitz by itself could refer to the town or the surname. "Horowitz family" is more precise in refering to the historic Jewish family. For example, the page about the Rothschild family has "family" in the page name rather then just "Rothschild" Ibn Daud (talk) 20:45, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose (probably). It *appears* to me that you are trying to convert the current (as of right this second, following repeated reverts of cut'n'paste moves) set index (ie. largely a list of articles about people with the surname Horowitz) to a more detailed article about a (or the) specific Horowitz family. Horowitz family was originally a very short such article that was merged here and hence the now quite lengthy lead for a set index article. I would think that the current list should remain, possibly with a shortened lead and possibly at Horowitz (surname). I have no view on whether a new (or WP:SPLIT if some of the text content from this article is used in a new article) article at Horowitz family would be notable but it doesn't seem that a move of this article to that title is appropriate because it is primarily a list and set index and the list should be kept.

Comment It would make the most sense if we moved the curret text about the Horowitz family to Horowitz family and kept this page an index of people with the surname Horowitz AND it's variants. Ibn Daud (talk) 22:17, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If we want to follow the Rothschild example (and I think we should), there would be three pages. Horowitz (disambiguation) for a general dab, Horowitz for people with the surname, and Horowitz family for the historical family. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 23:26, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Ibn Daud (talk) 23:30, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
