List of Jewish American engineers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

For essentially the same reason as List of Jewish American fashion designers is being nominated, we're heading into extremely trivial subdivisions with these lists. Aside from list of engineers and List of inventors, these appear to be the only lists subdivided by a strange ethnicity-religion-nationality combination that doesn't justify why it is notable in the first place or what criteria can be used to confirm its notability as an intersection. Also, "inventor" is redefined in these lists, as biomedical research and scientific discoveries now seems to count as inventions as well. That along with the fact that whatever sources can be found, usually only mention what seems to be the entire root of these lists in passing. African-American writer seems like a relevant intersection, but I have hardly ever heard of the "Jewish engineer", except Amon Goeth from Schindler's List. Bulldog123 06:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with the nomination. There are no sources, and I find no need or significance of this article. BeanoJosh 06:40, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with the nominator also. The two terms "Jewish American" and "Engineer" are practically unrelated. CG 08:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all as per nom. Mandsford 13:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Don't seem to be any more than lists of (foo) (bar) (baz). Non-notable intersection of categories. Stifle (talk) 17:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all per all--Victor falk 17:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all sheesh. JJL 13:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone can come up with a compelling reason why being Jewish American has any bearing on being an engineer/inventor (authors or politicians I get, but engineers?). Cosmo0 21:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Arbitrary cross-section of no encyclopedic value. Also original research /POV to a significant degree. `'Míkka 22:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, first of all, straight lists are more appropriately addressed in categories, yet in this case these shouldn't even be categories as they involve non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference. -- M P er el  05:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this violation of Listcruft. See also related Non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference and Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. Thank you, IZAK 10:23, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
