Notability? Editor2020 (talk) 00:03, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A Google search and a Google Books search shows that many reliable sources in the area of Biblical commentary discuss this word and its underlying meaning. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:22, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Cullen328, most of what I'm seeing through Google Books are one- or two-sentence mentions of this term without extensive commentary. What would you think of a merge or redirect? – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 16:28, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Someone asked me to weigh in on my talk page, so I will. It's hard to see this page being expanded beyond just a dictionary / glossary type definition. So, it should probably be merged somewhere else. I can't find any good place to merge, though. Best I could find was [[1]] Danski14^(talk) 00:26, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can tell, Asuppim refers to an area of the temple in Jerusalem. I can't tell whether it was a structure specific to the First Temple or Second Temple, but those could both be valid redirect targets if there is not enough coverage to warrant a separate article. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 16:28, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The page was just a dictionary/concordance entry, so the AfD made sense. I started a re-write just now (in progress), might still want to be folded into a Temple page. GordonGlottal (talk) 19:00, 2 April 2021 (UTC) UPDATE: new article complete, deserves its own page. GordonGlottal (talk) 03:22, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm moving to keep after reviewing the expansion by GordonGlottal. There is enough commentary on the etymology and proper translation of this term that we can expand beyond a regular WP:DICDEF. This information has encyclopedic value and we wouldn't be able to effectively merge all of it to the article on the temple. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 20:49, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
