List of Jews in business[edit]

Nominating for the same reasons as List of Jewish criminals, List of Jewish bankers, List of Jewish publishers, and so on. At their best, such lists are unencyclopedic and unmaintainable. There are, by my count, 24 subcategories similar to this under List of Jews. I'm not saying they should all be nominated right now -- I need to review them carefully -- but I think we should at least consider an omnibus AfD on this issue.

• Delete. Staying out of most of these 'Lists of Jews' 'Lists of Muslims' 'Lists of Discordians' debates, but there's no attempt to define what 'in business' means. --Last Malthusian 09:35, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The editors creating these lists seem to have good intentions, but there are just too many problems here. --JJay 08:14, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
