This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Judaism. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page. Adding a new AfD discussion Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps: Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Judaism|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread. There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier. Removing a closed AfD discussion Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot. Other types of discussions You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Judaism. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice. Further information For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Shifra cheese

Shifra cheese (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

All seven references are used simultaneously for every section. Verifiability for these claims is questionable. No page numbers are given for any of these books. The two links given are dead and cannot be recovered from the wayback machine.

Furthermore, the citations for the books seem off. For example, there is a Daniel Rogov who writes guides on Israeli wine, and there was a version published in 2005, but the title The Ultimate Guide to Israeli Wines isn't used (there is a The Ultimate Rogov's Guide to Israeli Wines from 2011) and they seem to be published by Toby Press, not Gefen Publishing House. There is also a book called "The New Middle Eastern Vegetarian: Modern Recipes from Veggiestan", but the author is listed as Sally Butcher, not Gil Atlas. I cannot find the Schreiber or Lewin books anywhere. Only the Solomonov and Cook reference has no apparent flaw. If anybody can find a few of these sources (perhaps they're in Hebrew), I'll withdraw this nomination, but as is, the article appears to be built on almost nothing.

Israeli feta

Israeli feta (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are many problems with the references. For one, no page numbers are given. I cannot find the books "Cheese from the Land of Milk and Honey: A Guide to Israeli Cheese". I also can't find "Food in Israel: A Mediterranean Journey." or "The Secret Life of Cheese: The Complete Guide to Cheese and Cheese-Making in Israel", although the authors exist (Mayer-Chissick appears to be an Israeli author and is listed by the National Library of Israel (https://www.nli.org.il/en/a-topic/987007462694605171) but this particular book is not mentioned). The source by Gur exists (and can be found here https://archive.org/details/bookofnewisraeli0000gurj/page/220/mode/2up?q=feta) and has a section on cheese but does not mention Israeli feta. The same is true for the source by Nathan (https://archive.org/details/foodsofisraeltod0000nath/page/242/mode/2up) which is cited for a claim about bourekas, ziva, and borek, but does not mention any of these dishes, at least from a quick search. As such, it appears difficult to verify any of these claims, unless somebody can provide page numbers. ISBNs would also help.

The creator of this article also created the article Shifra cheese, which shares many of the same issues and which I also nominated for deletion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Shifra_cheese). Truthnope (talk) 02:08, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

Besides for the fact that this is probably not the primary topic of the word emunah, it doesn't look like there are any sources which meet the notability criteria. Yeshivish613 (talk) 18:19, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

• Keep this article should be a disambiguation page for the topic. The magazine should move to a section of a separate article on Emunah, including the organization Emunah of America (founded 1948), and maybe the worldwide Emunah (founded 1925)[2]. Jahaza (talk) 21:43, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

  @Jahaza a disambiguation page links to already existent notable articles, are you saying the magazine article should be kept and moved to a new name? And the primary topic I meant was Jewish principles of faith, which Emuna redirects to. Yeshivish613 (talk) 18:55, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

  Yes, I'm saying that the article should be moved to Emunah (organization) with a hatnote. Probably Faith#Judaism is a better redirect target than Jewish principles of faith since the former is more about the quality or virtue of faith per se and the later more about creedal beliefs.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
