- The Alfred the Great article is already quite long, and surely there's enough to be said about the Jewel to make it a complete article on its own, so I say keep. Everyking 22:10, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Keep as a separate article; move stuff out of Alfred the Great (incl illustration). The "Alfred Jewel" is only incidentally about Alfred, and the description of the jewel is lost at the end of a long article about history & politics. Wile E. Heresiarch 22:22, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Keep: The material on "Alfred" should probably exist to explain the illustration, while the separate article could be wished longer and fuller (poss. incl. some of Alfred's artisan shops, his Pastoral Care as evidence of giving to churches (the "bookmark" he gave with it).

Keep: I'll admit to an interest in this - I wrote the original article! I agree that it needs extending, it is only a poor, wee stub after all. But for me the key argument is that anyone wanting to know about the 'Alfred Jewel' won't search for 'Alfred the Great'. It's one of the most wonderful of Saxon artefacts from England - it deserves an article! - Chris Jefferies 21:44, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. The jewel definitely deserves a stand alone item. Moriori 22:21, Jun 27, 2004 (UTC)
