Requested move 2 August 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved (closed by non-admin page mover) DannyS712 (talk) 05:28, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish question → Jewish Question – During the late 19th and early 20th centuries -- and even earlier -- the European question "What do we do about the Jews among us?" had become so extensively discussed that it had been reified into an entity, the "Jewish Question". Perhaps somewhat under the influence of German (although discussed throughout Europe, German-speakers were a significant portion of those involved in the controversy) where all nouns are capitalized, the reified entity was almost always capitalized as the "Jewish Question", and was rarely seen as the "Jewish question". For this reason, I believe the article should be moved to the capitalized form. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:53, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I am aware there was a previous RM held in 2013. Six years is certainly a suitable time to allow reconsideration. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:00, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. The Jewish question (disambiguation) page lists various works which use uppercase "Q", not simply because initial caps are used in titles, but also because "Question" used in this context becomes a proper noun. Also, as pointed out in the 2013 discussion, above, other such main title headers — Eastern Question, Armenian Question or Polish Question — used uppercase "Q". It may be noted, however, that in the middle of the 2013 discussion, one of the participants in that discussion unilaterally moved Polish Question to Polish question and it has remained in the lowercase "q" form since then. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:28, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per the solid reasons given in the nomination and Roman Spinner's !vote, to which I have nothing to add. – Levivich 03:17, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 04:03, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move as a large majority of sources use the capital. Also per Eastern Question, Armenian Question, and German Question, which I happened to notice. On the other hand see Thracian question, Irish question and indeed Polish question (which was rightfully moved in this edit, based on a majority of sources using the underscore "q"). Debresser (talk) 13:45, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and also per all other reasons given above. warshy ^(¥¥) 15:08, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The word debate

The Jewish question has been thoroughly debunked as anti-semitic. Therefore I think we should label it as such rather - like we do on the article QAnon - rather than use 'debate' 78.150.129.45 (talk) 18:35, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Marx and Bauer

Section #3 Karl Marx – On the Jewish Question includes "can the Jews become politically emancipated?". The reference leads to https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/jewish-question/index.htm but I don't see the quote on that page. Mcljlm (talk) 16:21, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sartre?

Surprised Anti-Semite and Jew 1944, by Sartre isn't discussed in the article. Jimhoward72 (talk) 17:15, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
