What about Achzivland?

... two people and a bed and breakfast, at least. +sj +

Date under Archaeology

There appears to be a typo in the date given for the Chalcolithic Period. Can someone identify what the dates here are meant to say? Downstrike (talk) 07:45, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Merge

Propose to merge Az-Zeeb -> Achziv, due to the fact it is the same place and essentially same place name with different transliteration. The article Az-Zeeb refers only to historic time window of small Arab-populated village on the Achziv site during Mamluk, Ottoman and British eras, while multiple other cultures had also occupied Achziv (Canaanites/Phoenicians, Seleucids, Romans/Byzantines, Crusaders and lately Israelis), which altogether has a long and rich history. Both articles are too small by themselves (26kb and 9kb) and will have more information if merged together.GreyShark (dibra) 09:57, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

  • Here I would agree to the merge.Davidbena (talk) 01:15, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
  • My reading of the articles is that Az-Zeeb is a current (not just historic) town and that Achziv isn't identical. I therefore oppose the merge. Klbrain (talk) 21:27, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Agree this is two names for the same place, so it's obvious they should be merged, or do we also want articles on Ecdeppa, Ecdippon, Achzib, az-Zib, az-Zeeb, and Ak-zi-bi? All are valid iterations of the settlement through history. (Note:.I began the difficult merging of these articles and they were reverted unilaterally reverted.) GenQuest 23:31, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Disagree Az-Zeeb's land was also divided into Gesher HaZiv and Sa'ar; how can we accommodate that, if we merge the two articles? I don't see how we can. (And yes, I unilaterally reverted your unilateral merge) Huldra (talk) 23:45, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Disagree If anything, a merge should be in the other direction. Articles on modern locations include sections on the history, not the other way around. Zero 00:21, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
Even if we do not merge these two articles (usually, I'm against merging of sites where there is a common English or Hebrew name, and another one with an Arabic name), the English/Hebrew title (Achziv) is, in my view, the more commonly used name. The history of these two articles overlap; having the exact same history, excepting only after Israel became a State when the site ceased to be recognised by its Arabic name.Davidbena (talk) 13:44, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Support. Currently the two pages serves as WP:POVFORKs. Both dedicate much of the article to the same ancient site with the same history. There are actually three aspects of the location:
1. Ancient historical site (biblical mentions, Roman empire, Crusaders, etc)
2. Arab village that developed by the time of British Mandate
3. Current national park and disputed micronation.
There should either be 3 separate articles for each of the aspects (each linking to the two others), or a single article describing all three aspects. Currently there are articles for 2 and 3, and each contains repetition of 1. “WarKosign” 08:15, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
