Ayal[edit]

"Ayal" is simply the Hebrew name for ~~dear~~ deer, probably according to the sources I've seen an oryx or a gazelle. If it really is an acrostic that should go in the appropriate article. Doug Weller talk 19:59, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete Wikipedia is not a Hebrew dictionary. Debresser (talk) 20:26, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete as WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Redirect to Deer, As alternative names normally redirect to the animal's page. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 21:14, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. First of all, translation of Hebrew אַיָּל is "Eyal", which in wikipedia may be referred to name of place or person. The disambiguation page for this already exists - Eyal. So, no need to redirect to "deer", but simple remove as not proper word at all. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 08:04, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Doug Weller, Debresser, ThePlatypusofDoom, and Arthistorian1977: No-one has noticed that this was originally a redirect to Ayaal before an article was put on top of it. There seems to be a consensus quickly forming that we don't need this article, but should the outcome be delete, redirect to "Ayaal" (as before) or to "Eyal (disambiguation)"?

I don't think we need a redirect, since it's just a wrong spelling. Just delete. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 10:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Editor now blocked (not by me) after statements such as "You have violated the sanctity of the words of The High Priest Of Israel, Minister Of God. You are out of your league. You think you are meddling in human affairs. Restore that which you have profaned. You are not a Jew and wholly uneducated and unqualified to even speak on the issue let alone to censor and entire contribution. Correct your mistake. Be aware. God Bless You." Love their new reference for this, The Big Jewish Book of Baby Names. Maybe it was a troll. Doug Weller talk 11:11, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was definitely a troll and taking into account the statements I assume it's a teenager troll. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 11:39, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
