I don't know where the name of this page comes from, but other pages exist: Adullam and Cave of Adullam. Pages should be merged. --Sreifa (talk) 10:39, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Would like to merge all pages pertaining to Adullam; name of page not final. --Sreifa (talk) 15:33, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. The pages Adullam and Cave of Adullam related to the Hebrew Bible are sufficiently different from the article on the modern nature reserve that a merge is, in my view, not appropriate. -- Radagast 3 (talk) 20:20, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

what if we call the page "Adulam" with a section on the NR that exists there today?--Sreifa (talk) 16:50, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think we should merge this page into Adullam, instead. It would make more sense. Cave of Addulam could also merge there. Arlen22 (talk) 21:40, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Radagast3. A nature reserve is a geographical place based on some unique, rare, an /or endangered nature characteristic(s) the authorities deem worth protecting. On the other hand, if this was a national park, there would be a justification for merge since National Parks of Israel usually have a historical background, not a nature one. --Shuki (talk) 22:52, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, "name of page not final". I'm open to suggestions on how to do it best. As for a nature reserves keeping rare or endangered characteristics, that is not always the case in Israel. Many times a reserve is declared just to curb building and other developments, and leave green areas. Also, while parks are usually maintained for visitors (nature-based or otherwise), not all reserves are maintained. I'm not sure what is unique about this particular reserve, but I'm fairly certain that we can find a way to present all the info on one page.--Sreifa (talk) 07:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still oppose. A nature reserve to save grass and weeds as well as some flower is still a legitimate subject for a separate article. --Shuki (talk) 14:08, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Radagast3. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 17:06, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question—what is the reserve's relation with ancient Adullam or the Cave of Adullam? This is not entirely clear either from the three articles or this discussion. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:07, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The tel thought to be the site of ancient Adulam is in the reserve/park, the caves, too.--Sreifa (talk) 18:56, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this article is about the park, not the nature reserve

If the article is titled "Adulam Grove Nature Reserve" it should be only about the nature reserve. Shuki, your information is misleading. --Sreifa (talk) 10:40, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
