List of Jewish anarchists

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Completely uncited, offers nothing to the reader beyond Category:Jewish anarchists. Skomorokh incite 02:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and per the redlinks that are contained within that list. --Blanchardb- Me MyEars MyMouth -timed 02:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, above, and unsourced. Cirt (talk) 03:31, 14 December 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete. Is fine as a category, and it's completely unsourced. J- ſtan TalkContribs 04:37, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Um... It's impossible for the list to both duplicate a category and have red links; if the list included only category members, there wouldn't be any red links. Per WP:CLS, categories and lists "should not be considered to be in conflict with each other" (emphasis in original). The list includes some notable Jewish anarchists whose Wikipedia biographies have yet to be written, which is one of the advantages of a list relative to a category. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 06:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm conflicted over this article. While I agree that you've outlined one important difference between this list vs the category, I must probe: to what end?  If all of the red links were replaced with blue ones; if each subject included were of an existing page, this list would truly serve no purpose.  It offers no information divergent of a category.  If it were to provide a secondary piece of information that would aid a reader in understanding Jewish anarchists and their history, I'd be all for keeping it.  This article leaves me with little to support.--Cast (talk) 07:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment We could simply add the redlinks to Requested articles or somewhere in the Anarchist task force. Skomorokh  incite 16:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Fair point. Added them to the To do list at Anarchism task force page.--Cast (talk) 20:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been listed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Philosophy/Anarchism. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 06:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Per Malik Shabazz's argument, the list provides one thing the category cannot; a list of currently non-existent Jewish anarchist biography articles. Other than that, I can't think of a reason to keep it. I'll be saving this list to my sandbox, so that if it is deleted, I'll have a list of Jewish anarchist articles that need to be made.--Cast (talk) 07:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Redundant article, recreate in the future if category needs to be expanded with people that do not have an article. Lord Metroid (talk) 10:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep after further consideration I changed my mind, the list needs to be extended rather than deleted Lord Metroid (talk) 12:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete One complete list of anarchist is sufficient. Lord Metroid (talk) 11:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep as per Malik Shabazz. I'd also like to note that as long as these people are cited correctly as having anarchistic beliefs in their own articles, then the list article does not need additional citations. Alun (talk) 12:20, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Malik Shabazz. Maybe it's the inclusionist in me, but I don't see how this list couldn't be improved instead of deleted. Murderbike (talk) 19:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Malik Shabazz. Allixpeeke (talk) 04:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as long as the material is verified. This is a notable conjunction; as Cast says, there are a good many articles to be made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs) 21:31, December 17, 2007
