- Keep You have at least three things going on here: 1) Historic antisemitism at ivy league schools, which have plenty of RS'es 2) current protest events being alternatively branded as anti-Zionist or antisemitic, also covered in a lot of RS'es but as current events rather than historical reflection, and 3) commentaries connecting the two. I don't see how we can avoid covering this, even if the ultimate focus needs to be bigger than Columbia and the ultimate title needs to be different. An AfD may be a good place to start such a discussion, but I doubt it will end up resolved well here.

- For the record, the protests themselves are already being covered at 2024 Columbia University pro-Palestinian campus occupation. Esolo5002 ( talk) 17:16, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Some parts of this page might be merged to 2024_Columbia_University_pro-Palestinian_campus_occupation#Allegations_of_antisemitism. Or they might be used to cover the alleged recent wave of antisemitism in multiple US universities, not just Columbia. However, given the framing of the subject of the page (i.e. it even covers 20th century), it seems to stand as a separate page. My very best wishes ( talk) 17:41, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Unfortunately given what's happened, an article like this needs to exist, despite the creation by a sock.

- Keep by SNOW. The issue of quality may be valid, and the creation issue definitely is, but it meets GNG (whether or not some content needs to be merged somewhere else), and no reason for deletion exists. FortunateSons ( talk) 11:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
