• It is relevant as an external link in that it is authored by Gareidi (though you missed mention of his authorship in the webpage title) and demonstrates his scholarship. Contributor613 (talk) 17:07, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
  • @Contributor613: What exactly is it though - a book, a newspaper article? Number 57 22:18, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
    • @Number 57: Good question. It's an article touching upon a number of Yemenite customs (including wedding, childbirth, and mourning). I don't know where it was originally published (considering his age I'm assuming everything Shimon Garidi published was off the internet). Aside from the value of the content in and of itself, the article certainly demonstrates Gareidi's connection to the Yemenite Jewish tradition. Considering the dearth of links in his wiki article (to say nothing of information), I think this article would enrich the entry. Contributor613 (talk) 01:28, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
      • OK, that sounds reasonable. I'll reinstate it - maybe in a Bibliography section - see what you think. Cheers, Number 57 09:44, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
        • Looks fine to me. Having it in a bibliography section instead of external links does seem to make more sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Contributor613 (talk • contribs) 16:09, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
