List of Jewish Fellows of the Royal Society

 * Strong Delete Once again, a case of listmania. In addition, there are many errors in this list, and in essence, just a group of repeated names.
 * Strong keep. Why do so many people want to delete lists of Jews?  The fact that there are several such lists, many of which are frequently edited, shows that many in the Wiki community want them.  If there are errors, let people correct them or at least flag the article for attention.  If we deleted every article with errors in, where would Wikipedia be?  Unlike the previous editor, I am happy to sign my vote. RachelBrown 13:18, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete People want to delete the lists of Jews because they're getting seriously repetitive and our part of the great listmania craze. Soon stuff like List of Jews on BBC with Red Hair will appear. Ofcourse people like you would naturally blame it on anti-semitism. Have some sense. 72.144.150.139 15:35, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, provides a useful resource. Evil Eye 16:22, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I just got done voting on another one of these. We don't both listing members of the Royal Society but do bother doing more specific groups like Jews? What a joke. Antidote 19:30, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Wrong! There is a category for Fellows (not members!) of the Royal Society. Easy enough to knock up a complete list if anyone wants. 81.153.43.82 13:31, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above --Rogerd 13:27, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems useful. Klonimus 05:24, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep There is no doubt that Fellows of the Royal Society deserve to be included in any respectable Encyclopedia. In current situation not all Fellows of this List are included in List of British Jews. LazarKr 07:44, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I've found this useful in my researches - 213.187.48.246 18:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete What categories are made for. 72.144.191.32 03:44, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
