Nominating for Tilobittes who gave reason refers only to Jews in a region and not a nation like other Jewish groups have been described. there is already a page where this article should be a part of.. Not support nor opposition. ♥ Solarra ♥ ^{♪ Talk ♪} ߷ _{♀ Contribs ♀} 22:17, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Article meets WP:Notability and is in line with similar articles like American Jews. ♥ Solarra ♥ ^{♪ Talk ♪} ߷ _{♀ Contribs ♀} 22:19, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Per Andrew Davidson. Flipandflopped (Discuss, Contribs) 23:43, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The logic for the proposed deletion is seemingly a variant of WP:OSE, if there is a significant cultural variation regarding the History of Jews in Kurdistan, then let there be an article about the History of Jews in Kurdistan. Besides, we have articles galore formatted in a non-national format, such as History of Jews in Alsace, History of Jews in Opatów, and etcetera, if we're playing the OSE game. An article should be judged on it's subject matter, notability, and merit, not upon whether it describes the history of Jews within a region rather than within a nation.

Keep. Another odd deletion nomination "helped" by someone who takes no responsibility. Solarra, IMHO, no one should "help" this way. --do ncr am 00:19, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable, decently well sourced, and has plenty of information -- don't see a reason why it would be deleted. Adamh4 (talk) 18:25, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Do we have a policy to punish the nom for this foolishness? There is no legitimate reason given for deletion. There was no discussion on the talk page prior to this nom. The nominator has been here long enough to know better. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:10, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Notable and well-sourced. History of Jews in Kurdistan, like History of the Jews in Iraq, History of the Jews in Turkey, History of the Jews in China, etc. etc. are not regional analyses of the Jewish diaspora, but significant histories that document the unique customs, practices, and liturgy that developed in each of those formerly insular communities, and that each family continues to practice in their new homes in Israel and America.
