The result was delete. I originally closed this as withdrawn, but I started kicking myself after. I've decided to go with consensus, since the article is pretty much fraudulent. bibliomaniac 15 BUY NOW! 01:45, 3 July 2007 (UTC) reply
The biggest issue with this "article" is that all the sources are misrepresented. It was created by banned user
Serenesoulnyc who recently reappeared with many abusive sockpuppets. It's poorly written and chock-full of
original research. The only instance where a statement is directly cited is through a link to the web that has nothing at all to do with what is being claimed. I checked two of the references listed at the bottom. Davis (1988) pp. 64-66 (which is presented as a supposed citation under References), as expected, says nothing at all lending support to any claims in the article–it only very briefly describes the concept of slavery in Judaism. Potok (1978), p. 395 makes no mention of slavery whatsoever, and the only instances in which slavery is mentioned in the entire book are mostly in relation to Bibilical accounts of Jews being enslaved. One reference is impossible to check and there is no doubt that the other is as blatantly misrepresented. I was going to tag the article for speedy deletion given that it nearly qualifies as
WP:PN and was created by a now banned and abusive vandal, but since I am not quite sure, I'm nominating it instead. —

I am also nominating the following related page on which claims in
Jewish Slave Trade are purportedly based:
I am withdrawing the nomination as there has not been sufficient discussion to address the doubts that seem to have been raised, nor more specifically the contents of the article. Admin, please close nomination as withdrawn. — Zerida 20:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC) reply
