List of Slavic Nobel laureates

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't see why we need a list of "Slavic" recipients of the Nobel prizes. No source is cited to show that being "Slavic" (undefined in the article, but seems to refer to ethnic Slavic speakers and nationals of Slavic-majority countries) is in any way significant in the context of the Nobel prizes.

 * Delete - we have lists of Nobel Prize winners by nationality and religion, but I don't see a need for further breakdown by ethnicity. As stated by nom, there's no criteria for what Slavic even is; for example, Shmuel Yosef Agnon and other Jews born in the former Soviet Union would generally be classified as Jewish, not Slavic. This same user is creating every one possible, including List of Arab Nobel laureates, List of Latino and Hispanic Nobel laureates, List of Asian Nobel laureates. He recreated List of Hindu Nobel laureates but it was already deleted. —Мандичка YO 😜 06:44, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Who is Slavic? The problems of definition are patent in the large number of Jews on the list.   But even if we remove, say, Menachem Begin and other Jews who would would have been shocked, perplexed, and/or amused to hear themselves categorized as "Slavic", we are left with serious problems. Is everyone born in a country speaking a Slavic language a Slav? Historically, these regions have had substantial populations of families who would identify as members of other ethnie, particularly German.  I suggest we stick to categories we can define.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:05, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
