List of Jewish recipients of the National Medal of Science[edit]

Unusual intersection by religion/ethnicity. Prone to severe original research. Untouched for a year. Unprecedented. overextensive subdivision. No other subdivision of its kind: List of Christian recipients of the National Medal of Science, List of African-American recipients of the National Medal of Science etc. Bulldog123 19:38, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep — No consensus policy has been approved regarding intersections of ethnicity/religion and other factors. List is unambiguous, limited in scope, notable and is not in any sense defamatory. However it is in need of additional sources. The tendency of possible editors, the duration without edits and precedence are not valid criteria for deletion. Nominator is highly argumentative, so I'm not planning to return for discussion. Thanks. — RJH (talk) 19:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- But notability of intersections is considered a guideline, and opening the floodgates is also an issue. WP:POINT, WP:CIVIL please. Bulldog123 20:01, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. From Wikipedia:Overcategorization#Non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference:

People should only be categorized by ethnicity or religion if this has significant bearing on their career.. CG 21:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; it's just an alphabetization of this list at JInfo.org. -- Rob C (Alarob) 02:01, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — same results could be better achieved using the Semantic MediaWiki or categories. Cedars 02:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
