We already have articles for Amnon and for Tamar (daughter of David), which deal almost exclusively with this story. Having a third article for the same subject seems like overkill. I redirected this to Amnon, but on second thoughts a redirect to Tamar (daughter of David) may be better. The article creator thinks it is better as a stand-alone article, so here we are.

Merge to Tamar (daughter of David). Given the amount that has been written and created about the incident, I think it would be possible to have a separate article on the "story" in addition to the articles on Tamar and Amnon, but that article would by WP:COMMONNAME probably best belong at Rape of Tamar, which is currently a redirect to Tamar (daughter of David). This would raise certain other questions about whether the encyclopedia should center the act over the victim, but we can set those questions aside for the moment. Given the current relative paucity of the article at Tamar (daughter of David) there's plenty of "room" there for more info after a merge.--Jahaza (talk) 15:40, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
