Article is a fork[edit]

Saverx's edits seem to be some sort of fork of Bet Hamikdash. This article, of extremely marginal notability to start with, was about Aharoni's find. There's no reason to add all this stuff which is at Bet Hamikdash. Please justify your additions or revert them. -- Zsero (talk) 15:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page isn't just about Aharoni or anyother archaeologist, but it is focused more so on the Biblical term "House of Yahweh" and everything that is Biblically included. I made a separated archaeology section so that it could still review over that area of the issue but the point of the page is more so on the subject Biblical subject of the 'House of Yahweh'(Miscon or Bet Mikdash) and what it represented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saverx (talk • contribs) 16:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not convinced that this article is needed, nor that it's quality is adequate. Here some of its problems: The first sentence is an utter confusion. The title of the article is "House of Yahwe (biblical term)", but the article doesn't mention which term that might be. If the term in mind is "schechina", this Hebrew word also does not appear in most of the passages that are cited! The article tells us nothing about the various interpretations of the term. Furthermore, it spends more time talking about priests than about the House of Yahweh itself. I recommend deleting it. - jajafe Jajafe 08:16, 13 September 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jajafe (talk • contribs)

You may well be right. Meanwhile, I've streamlined the lead so it makes sense and is hopefully accurate, if not complete, and stubbed the article. If it is to be rebuilt, it needs to be rebuilt using what reliable sources say about this, not just someone's compilation of biblical citations. Dougweller (talk) 10:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
