The contents of the Sabaeans page were merged into Sheba on 15 January 2025. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
User:Til Eulenspiegel, the person who was most opposed to that merge, is a globally blocked user notoriously known for sockpuppetry and trying to impose a pro-African view of articles related to Sheba by citing the bible. Now, I don't know what this article looked like 11 years ago when that discussion took place but quoting Til from that discussion ("the current scope of this article is Biblical interpretation") shows that that isn't the case now (as in before the merge). Those two articles pretty much overlapped and there isn't a reason to keep those articles separate.Pinging @Doug Weller, @Wdford and @يوسف حسين who all participated in that discussion Abo Yemen✉10:12, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't disagree that the kingdom and the people be covered in the same article, but it is surprising to find that article at Sheba. I suspect, however, that it will be hard to get it moved to Saba. Srnec (talk) 21:49, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer Sheba over Saba' or Saba (state). Maybe move disambig to Saba (disambiguation) and Sheba to Saba? Kingdom of Saba is possible also, I dont think rulers using the mukarrib title makes it not a kingdom. Hadhramaut rulers used "mukarrib" sometimes and we have Kingdom of Hadhramaut.

"Robin dated the kingdom of Yashhuril to the beginning of the first century AD and considers him to have been the last ASA sovereign to take the title of mukarrib." (talk) 18:18, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Tbh idrk if there is a difference but if that's the case then i got np with the kingdom of saba name. We should open an RM btw Abo Yemen✉18:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning oppose. Oxford Reference has two articles on this topic: "Sheba" in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Archaeology in the Near East and "Sabaeans" in the Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity. It is not the primary topic for "Saba", unfortunately. Srnec (talk) 22:05, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. The present title exceeds the title "Saba" in usage in book sources - [1]. The nom says it's more "appropriate" to call it @Saba, but without any explanation as to why, or how that fits with WP:AT article title policies. — Amakuru (talk) 13:17, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
