June 22

There is as yet no definition on Wikipedia of what precisely is Jewish literature exactly. This category was created in a care-free fashion, and at the same time by the same user as a near duplicate to Category:Yiddish literature with basically the same 3 or 4 entries placed in it, compare [1] and [2]. This is a "category in search of a subject", and until such time as the subject of Jewish literature is developed on Wikipedia, there is no point to this category. There already exist related categories such as Category:Jewish texts relating to Judaism, Category:Modern Hebrew writers and Category:Israeli writers as categories representative of both Hebrew language and Israeli (Jewish literature). The aforementioned thus create further doubt about exactly what Category:Jewish literature uniquely includes? (Maybe some day it would be good for secular Jewish books or authors not writing in Hebrew or Yiddish.) But at this point it appears to be a weakly defined category and should be deleted.

There were only about five items in this, which I have now moved to the rest in Category:Political organisations. Deus Ex 11:00, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This category was created for two Swedish scientists, Hans von Euler-Chelpin and his son Ulf von Euler, both Nobel laureates, and as a subcategory of Category:Swedish nobility. I removed the "Swedish nobility" categorization, but it is in any case silly to have a category for only these two persons. Tupsharru 09:43, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Too damn wordy, and actresses is not appropriate, where "actor" is gender neutral. Suggest Law & Order actors, Actors in Law & Order etc. Three subcats need renaming too. -SV|t 07:56, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ought to be renamed to Category:Users of banned substances in football. The title itself is POV-sounding. Furthermore, it is also inaccurate: Mark Bosnich uses cocaine, which hardly makes him a cheat (cocaine reduces rather than enhances performance). Mandel 07:10, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Use of commercial or proprietary lists by Sony, FHM, Playboy is not an NPOV use of categories. Depopulate list to article, and recat articles by better scheme. -SV|t 00:34, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • I don't agree that this category is POV (it's a marketing label whose application can be objectively verified), but I do agree that this would be better served as a list than a category. List & delete. -Sean Curtin 05:04, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
