Category talk:Jews from Mandatory Palestine

People born in Mandate Palestine
I have noticed that many individuals in this category were only born in British Palestine, but have nothing to do with it and have grown up and lived in Israel. I think they should be removed (e.g. Arik Einstein). Please share your thoughts. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 09:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It is an odd category. Why is Arik Einstein here, but Ariel Sharon not? Jayjg (talk) 23:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It is indeed an odd category. But if it exists, should it be separated into Ottoman and British period pages?Historicist (talk) 03:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The original discussion was in 2007, and today I think the category should be deleted. It's inherently problematic, and will either:
 * List all of the Jews who were either born or lived in the pre-state area, which is completely useless, or:
 * List those Jews associated with that period, for example Avraham Stern, Yosef Trumpeldor, etc. This is inherently OR, because who will decide which people were really associated with the period?

 * Isn't it straightforward to work out who was resident in Ottoman and British Palestine 1516-1948? Ian Pitchford (talk) 17:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

What's wrong with listing people like Ariel Sharon in both categories? Chesdovi (talk) 13:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
