Jewish history month

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. The article establishes that the controversy behind Black History Month exists and, perhaps, could be notable. However it does not establish notability for the Jewish History Month proposal made by some high school students. If not deleted, perhaps a redirect to Jewish American Heritage Month would be in order. Nick—Contact/Contribs 03:41, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The Jewish History Month program, while started in one school, as since been discussed and debated in area schools and student forums. The establishment of the controversy surrounding Black History Month is well documented, but also no the only driving reason behind the creation of this article. This article is not meant to draw attention solely to the idea of Jewish History Month, but also provides useful information about the thoughts and ideas being shared in communities nationwide concerning American race relations. Because of this this article is necessary and is not merely a report of an idea made up in school one day. The ideals behind Jewish History Month are founded in group discussion and comprehensive debate over the merits of race recognition and the history of contributions by ethnic groups in America since its founding. I appreciate you concern and the attentiveness with which you police this site - your contribution is the reason why I and many others feel Wikipedia is one of the foremost research tools on the web.

 * Comment - It should be noted that the line "It was created by students at Solon High School to highlight the important contributions of Jewish culture on American history" has been removed since the nomination for deletion, however no additional information supporting notability has been provided. --Nick—Contact/Contribs 04:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing more than rant heard every February that since there's a Black History Month, there should be a "_____ History Month".  It reminds me of the joke of which month is "White History Month" -- all twelve.  Mandsford (talk) 14:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Clarification?: Nick-do you have any suggestions for aiding in establishing notability? The article is not a rant nor does it push any racial joke. It solely speaks to different ideas that exist for recognizing the contributions of other races. This article does not advocate the idea or attack the premises of Black History Month. The notation regarding the deletion of the aforementioned phrase is in to highlight the fact that this idea has now spread to be discussed on a wider scale.

 * Comment Find some reliable sources which cover this proposal in sufficient detail to meet the notability criteria. Nick-D (talk) 07:03, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete There already is a Jewish American Heritage Month. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:28, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
