Category talk:American Jews by occupation

These subcategories once existed, but were deleted
The following subcategories existed at one point in Wikipedia's history, but were deleted over a period of time (see User:IZAK/Deleting lists and categories of Jews). I recommend that some of these be recreated (and placed in Category:Jewish Americans by occupation) in order to reduce the unmanageably large size of Category:American Jews. --Wassermann (talk) 10:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Category:Jewish American actors
 * Category:Jewish American businesspeople
 * Category:Jewish American comedians
 * Category:Jewish American economists
 * Category:Jewish American figure skaters
 * Category:Jewish American journalists
 * Category:Jewish American lawyers
 * Category:Jewish American philosophers
 * Category:Jewish American singers
 * Category:Jewish American spies

Some of the above subcategories should be recreated - they were deleted by a user who wanted virtually all Jewish-based categories deleted, yet did not gain consensus to do so. The actors and comedians subcats should certainly exist, as a) many Wikipedia biographies fit into those cats; b) many of them use Judaism and / or Jewish culture in their entertainment work. Examples of that are Woody Allen and Jackie Mason. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 04:09, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
