I happened upon these while looking at the new pages feed, and I'm not sure about the intent behind them. I think it definitely falls under [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]], as rather random categories (fraudster + Jewish/Irish) - there's no connection between them (i.e. they're not fraudsters because they're Jewish/Irish, or the other way around), and the only reason I can think of to categorize them like this would be racism-intentioned [[WP:SYNTH|synthesis]] (pardon the lack of [[WP:AGF|good faith]]) which would somewhat become a [[WP:BLP]] concern. Unless that is confirmed, though, I think we should stick to the first issue.

::There doesn't need to be an inherent connection as in [[List of Irish novelists]]. Nobody is claiming there is an inherent tendency for Irish people to be novelists. In fact many lists categorise by two informative characteristics, which have no ''inherent'' connection eg. [[List of English-language Canadian game shows]] or [[List of hotels in Singapore]], which are not hotels ''because'' they're in Singapore. The connection itself is informative.

I think it definitely falls under WP:INDISCRIMINATE, as rather random categories (fraudster + Jewish/Irish) - there's no connection between them (i.e. they're not fraudsters because they're Jewish/Irish, or the other way around), and the only reason I can think of to categorize them like this would be racism-intentioned synthesis (pardon the lack of good faith) which would somewhat become a WP:BLP concern.

- There doesn't need to be an inherent connection as in List of Irish novelists. Nobody is claiming there is an inherent tendency for Irish people to be novelists. In fact many lists categorise by two informative characteristics, which have no inherent connection eg. List of English-language Canadian game shows or List of hotels in Singapore, which are not hotels because they're in Singapore. The connection itself is informative.
