This page is against the Manual of Style for disambiguation pages for several reasons. There is one definite redlinkable article (although it is not redlinked) and one possible. However, it does not look like these articles are being worked on so this is just an unneeded placeholder that does not direct the reader to intended content. Furthermore, it goes into more detail than is needed to disambiguate the subjects (even though the subjects are directed to the same article), and the on top of that there is controversy over its accuracy. "Jerusalem of the West" might be an alright See also since there could possibly be some confusion and it is certainly related wording wise. "East Jerusalem" is the exact opposite wording wise but is related subject wise if looking at similarities of the legal issues. Axe tis disambig and bring it back when there are two articles (even then questionable) written that needs a disambig. I can see the use of this disambig in the future but it is nothing but trouble now. Cptnono ([[User talk:

- Keep as a stub article on the part of Jerusalem that came under Israeli rule in 1948, or else redirect to Jerusalem, as the situation was before August 2007. --Lambiam 01:58, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep can be a good stub or disambiguation page. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 21:46, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There is a strong argument for separating out discussion of West Jerusalem from the main Jerusalem article. Many more states recognise the Israeli claim to that part of the city than to the East but some do not, being able to discuss the West separately would prove useful. Similarly being able to have an article which explains what buildings are there would be useful. While Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, the President of the United States has today suggested that a solution to the Israeli/Palestinian problem should be based on the pre-67 borders. An article documenting which parts of Jerusalem would fall within those borders woudl be informative.--Peter cohen (talk) 21:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
