::Arniep: I agree that they should and must be part of articles about Jewish history, no question about it, but it is an exercise in futility (and stupidity) to put people into arbitrary lists that they themselves would have abhored or that serve no real scholarly or encyclopedic purpose. Unless you want to create lists such as: List of Jews who converted to Christianity, List of Jews who were atheists, List of Jews who never acknowledged their Jewish identity, List of Jews who married gentiles, List of Jews with dubious conversions to Judaism, List of Jews who fought against other Jews, List of Jews who disguised their identity as Jews, List of Jews who were identifies as Jews by the Nazis etc ad nauseum, these may all sound like interesting "historical" lists that could have many names placed into them, but they would serve no real real scholarly or encyclopedic purpose insofar as scholarship is defined.
