We already have Category:Jews, it doesn't make much sense to list them all on a page. Di (they-them) (talk) 22:00, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Lists of people and Judaism. Di (they-them) (talk) 22:00, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Indeed. We also have articles and categories for individual subgroups like Mizrahi Jews and Category:Mizrahi Jews. -- asilvering (talk) 22:10, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: this looks like someone's homework. We have well over 2,000 Jews in the various Jews categories. Category:Jewish Nobel laureates alone includes more people than this article lists. I'm sure this list was well intentioned, but it doesn't belong here. Owen× ☎ 22:15, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. SilverLocust 💬 22:17, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't Delete I created the site because it would be easier to research and learn more about these people. It's more convenient to have a page with these people in sorted categories. Sites like List of Israeli Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews are mixed and it requires more time to learn about the actual heritage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OctoGreeko (talk • contribs) 22:25, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OctoGreeko You are allowed sub pages to your user space. I have created User:OctoGreeko/Notable Jews work page - just work to your heart's content on that page, then it won't matter if the original list is deleted here. — Maile (talk) 02:34, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OctoGreeko It will be a lot less convenient when it has thousands and thousands of people on it! I hope Lists of Jews, which was linked below, helps you with what you're doing? -- asilvering (talk) 02:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks. OctoGreeko (talk) 13:25, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Should be moved to userspace if the author finds the list convenient, but I agree it isn't doing any good in mainspace. CycloneYoris ^talk! 22:56, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. No set criteria other than "notable" would be someone who qualifies under the WP BLP guidelines. Ajf773 (talk) 00:37, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. It's also worth noting that in addition to the category, we have Lists of Jews. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 00:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete These are usually quiet attempts to eventually either create an attack page or end up being derailed into one, which is the most likely result here. Categories handle it well already. Nate • (chatter) 23:54, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but how exactly would I "attack" someone with a list? Why should anyone even consider this possibility? OctoGreeko (talk) 19:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not you personally, but as someone who has to deal with list vandalism consistently there are bad actors that take articles like this and warp the original editor's intention into something else entirely. Nate • (chatter) 21:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. OctoGreeko (talk) 19:06, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per MrSchimpf. Great name for a band, terrible idea for a list or article, which all experienced editors just know will become a mess. Apologies to the Newbie, but we've seen this rodeo before. We already have similarly-named lists, so this will immediately become a content fork. Bearian (talk) 18:30, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
