Per all the other religion-ethnicity-nationality-occupation intersection listcruft. This one has all four! Dbromage [Talk]  07:17, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This list encompasses so much that I fail to see any notability for this intersection Corpx 18:16, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as patently trivial listcruft. VanTucky  (talk) 19:02, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Agamemnon2 21:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * delete this is what categories are for.Dark Tea &#169;  22:14, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Black Jews which currently contains a list. Kappa 06:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Black Jews per Kappa. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 08:00, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge... and then consider moving Black Jews to a title that's a little bit more up to date, like, say, "Jewish African-American". "Blackjews!" "Gesundheit!!!" Mandsford 16:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Not all people of African descent are American. Kappa 21:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * First, a quick glance at the article would show that there are specific groups around the world called "Black Jews". Second, there's no need to be a dick. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 21:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for the reasons relating to Non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference and violation of Listcruft. See also: Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. IZAK 08:20, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If this is a non-notable intersection, why don't we just merge it into a notable one? And pretending WP:LISTCRUFT is a policy is mendacious. Kappa 07:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - These types of lists only add clutter to Wikipedia. It is what we have categories for. Padishah5000 16:55, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to suggest a Category:Jewish African-American entertainers but we live and learn. Kappa 23:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * There is probably enough reliable sources out there to write a decent article on African-American Jews, e.g. the book The Black Jews of Harlem: Negro Nationalism and the Dilemmas of Negro Leadership, or the essay "Locating Afro-American Judaism: A Critique of White Normativity." in A Companion to African American Studies; and there is sadly not enough information about African-American Judaism in the current Black Jews article. However, as that article already contains a list of people, many of whom areindeed African-American Jewish entertainers, this list should probably be merged into that article, per Kappa, after it is trimmed of unverifiable information (we all know that Sammy Davis, Jr. was a Jew, but I haven't seen any confirmation that his father, Sammy Davis, Sr., was).

 * Delete arbitrary listcruft. What next: list of American entertainers whose mother is Chinese and father is German? Mukadderat 18:15, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
