Merger proposal

[edit]

I propose to merge Revelry of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai into Tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai#Annual Lag BaOmer Celebration. I think that the content in this article can easily be explained in the context of Tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and between that article and the Lag BaOmer article, this seems excessive IMHO as mentioned here. Especially as the name "Revelry of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai" is so foreign. | MK17b | (talk) 21:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The page about the tomb should be about the tomb: its ownership, layout, architecture, history and legends, mentioning briefly it hosts an annual pilgrimage. The Hillula, being the second largest pilgrim gathering in the country, should explore what happens at the pilgrimage (the festivities, customs, facts and figures) and notable events which have previously occurred during it...?

If and when the tomb article gets too large, I can see the value of having separate pages. At the moment, it just seems like there was a rush to create a multitude of pages post the Meron incident and the Revelry/Hilula page in particular seems half baked. | MK17b | (talk) 03:49, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
