[edit] Page name

I'd like to move this to "History of Judaism in Arabia" if nobody objects, because the current page title is a bit of an anachronism. Slacker 02:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

• No. The current page is now a disambiguation page, and there are Jewish history articles for each of the present states in the Arabian Peninsula. See History of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula with all its conncted articles for each of the countries now on the Arabian Peninsula, that includes History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia. Thank you.

[edit] Solution to Arabia vs Saudi Arabia vs Arabian Peninsula

Please see the following articles that should now solve the problems we have been discussing:

• The History of the Jews in Arabia page is now the History of the Jews in Arabia (disambiguation) page (see it to understand the comprehensive nature of the solution and why it is necessary.
• A new main article is now History of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula that summarizes the Jewish histories within and connected to the areas of all the present countries in the Arabian Peninsula.
• The History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia is now part of a set of nine articles that relate to the nine countries in the present day Arabian Peninsula, as follows:
  • History of the Jews in Iraq
  • History of the Jews in Jordan
  • History of the Jews in Bahrain
  • History of the Jews in Kuwait
  • History of the Jews in Oman
  • History of the Jews in Qatar
  • History of the Jews in Saudi Arabia
  • History of the Jews in the United Arab Emirates
  • Yemenite Jews

• The main category for all the above is now the new Category:History of the Jews in the Arabian Peninsula which is itself a sub-category of: Category:History of the Arabian peninsula, Category:Jewish history by region, Category:Jews and Judaism in Southwest Asia, Category:Judeo-Islamic topics

This took me a while to write, research and organize, but it was well worth the time and efforts I put into it to create clarity and avoid confusion from now on. Thank you very much, IZAK (talk) 13:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
