Malagasy legends of ancient Israelite ancestors often feature red zebu—a local adaptation of the biblical red heifer

• ... that millions of people from Madagascar claim ancestral ties to ancient Jews, according to a centuries-old origin myth called the "Malagasy secret"? Source: https://rai.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-8322.12391 "the number of Malagasy adherents to normative (i.e. rabbinic) Judaism is eclipsed by probably millions within the larger society who casually affirm genealogical descent from ancient Israel"

Requested move 31 May 2024

History of the Jews in Madagascar → Jews in Madagascar – Per MOS:CONCISE and MOS:PRECISE, this article's undiscussed move should be reverted. "Jews in Madagascar" is more concise and also more clear that it doesn't refer to "the Jews" (who would be generally read as foreigners) in Madagascar, but also largely to indigenous Jewish conversion as well as indigenous Judaic syncretic mythologies and esoteric religions. A lot of the article's subject is also contemporary, and "history of" doesn't reflect that well. Zanahary (talk) 20:12, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

@Omnis Scientia Zanahary (talk) 20:16, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

I see this move has also broken the GA nomination, and I think resulted in its automatic failure (see my Talk page for the notice) Zanahary (talk) 20:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

@Zanahary, my apologies, I did not know it was a good article nominated page. I was merely changing the name of the article to the normal way it is written in just about every other page related to Jewish communities in any region of the world. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

I understand that's the standard, and maybe it makes sense for those articles' contents, but this one has relatively little information about the "history of the Jews in Madagascar", and maybe would be even better titled "Judaism in Madagascar". Is there any way you can revert your move, and open an RM if you maintain that it ought to be renamed? Zanahary (talk) 20:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes I can try to. Again, my apologies. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:31, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much! Zanahary (talk) 20:33, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

So I tried to reverse it but it couldn't. Hence, I will lean support per @Zanahary's explanation and undo the name change. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:36, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Closed—it’s been done by a page mover (I think) Zanahary (talk) 22:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Well that's good. Once again, apologies for any inconvenience I may have cause for your GA nomination and, if you will be trying again, good luck with it! :) Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:33, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

No worries, and thanks! Zanahary (talk) 23:23, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
