A copy of a one-sentence Catholic Encyclopedia entry; there does not appear to be anything further that can ever been said about this figure, as he is just mentioned in passing as the father of one of the Twelve Spies. Fails WP:GNG. Hog Farm _Talk 21:18, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete There are plenty of biblical characters who deserve a Wikipedia article, based on the content that exists about them. Numbers 13:7, in listing The Twelve Spies sent out to scout out the land, lists "from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph". We are told nothing about Igal and his backstory, and there is even less about his father, Joseph of Issachar. We have nothing available to expand this any further.

• Delete per the above. I'm amazed the article has lasted so long. StAnselm (talk) 22:08, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to List of minor Old Testament figures, A–K, which houses mentions like these. BD2412 T 01:14, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse BD2412's Merge solution. Especially since the figure was referenced in the Catholic Encyclopedia and that may lead people to go looking to see if there's more info available.--Jahaza (talk) 14:01, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree too. StAnselm (talk) 16:31, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree. Gabe114 (talk) 16:32, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree. talk 14:38, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to The Twelve Spies. This is a person of whom we know (and can know) nothing apart from having a son. However, there should also be an entry on the dabpage for Joseph. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
