The result of the debate was keep - due to conditions presented - see Articles for deletion/List of Jewish Americans (2nd nomination) StabRule 07:40, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

List of Jewish American writers
List of Jewish American artists, List of Jewish American musicians, List of Jewish American sport figures, List of Jewish American academics, List of Jewish American scientists, List of Jewish American business figures, List of Jewish American showbusiness figures --- these are all compiled into the main article List of Jewish Americans -- having them as separate lists is utterly farfetched StabRule 08:15, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Solution: Mass delete all these lists, as they are virtual "copy and pastes" from the main article. StabRule 08:30, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * User:Vulturell suggested that perhaps it may be better to delete the big List of Jewish Americans than these smaller lists - which is fine - if a vote is put on the large list I will get ride of the afds on these. StabRule 10:28, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep this is a clear bad WP:FAITH nomination, this user is almost certainly a sock puppet and their sole edits Special:Contributions/StabRule and that of one of their ips Special:Contributions/72.144.161.73 have been devoted solely to placing afds on Jewish lists and spamming users, who they seem to choose on the basis of their acquaintance through another account.

 * Keep and edit for relevance. Deal with nominator per WP:Point. Durova 16:54, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * First of all, the WP:FAITH nominations are just set up as a distraction by User:Arniep who himself went on a rampage recently and nominated literally dozens of lists for deletion on the basis of a WP:POINT. I have been on wikipedia under an anonymous IP and finally decided to make a username because people were bitching about anonymous IPs on page deletions. For that reason, I am concentrating on deleting the lists that are the most numerous - among them happens to be a lot of jewish lists. A blatant call for anti-semitism on User:Arniep's part I expected, and he seems to be very immature. I already discussed with User:Vulturell that either these smaller lists need to go or the bigger list because they are virtual copies of eachother. There is no WP:POINT nomination here - this could even be considered speedy delete material. StabRule 21:15, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Again, this user is unnaturally obsessed with deleting Jewish lists. This is getting incredibly boring, there is no lack of space on Wikipedia, all ethnicities should be allowed their own lists. Please see StabRule's contributions for evidence of his crazy obsession Special:Contributions/StabRule, Special:Contributions/72.144.161.73. Arniep 22:20, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - the overall list is unwieldy; we should do what was done with the List of Jews and make it into a catalogue of lists. - Taxwoman 23:14, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; wikipedia is not paper: I see no problem with subdividing sufficiently long lists. &mdash; RJH 01:43, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Same for all religion lists per openly stated policy and Martin Niemöller. How about we mass delete stupidity and bigotry.-- JJay 01:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
