Jewish?[edit]

Where does it say he's Jewish?

1: nowhere,

2: according to the Wikipedia guideline WP:MOSBIO, this is of very little import, if it is not a major reason why he is known,

3: please sign your comments with ~~~~ so that we can distinguish who and especially when the comment was made.

4:I too am looking for verification of this. A Google search yields plenty of assertions that he is, but all from hostile sources. —Morning star (talk) 19:29, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

5: I don't see why mentioning he has jewish roots is something to mention i the wiki, as he has not said anything about it public and don't seem to identify himself as one. /D

1.61 meters??[edit]

This is almost a trivial fact:

Pagrotsky is 1.61 meters (5'3) but says he has never suffered from discrimination because of his height.[2]

Don't we have more important things to write about? OK, so Mr Y had shoe number 52, but explained he had no trouble with it. Aren't such statements actually like NULL-statements? ... said: Rursus (^mbork³) 14:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that he's short (for a Swedish male) is an integrated detail of his public figure and important and notable in his context. The fact that he's made a statement aboutt it is not a coincidence and he was even referenced to as a "hobbit" in Jon Stewart's Daily Show.. -- Henriok (talk) 16:52, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
