:Regardless of whether the sources I cited were reliable or not, you have a very common misconception here. A person is of Jewish decent even if he's an atheist or doesn't identify himself as one, since being Jewish is also be a matter of ethnicity, just like having an Italian ancestry for example. Concerning the sources used, I don't understand why you insist on deleting any mention of Hal being Jewish, even in the category. These sources say he's Jewish: 1 2 3. It's obvious he's Jewish, so why be so strict about it? I mean, can nothing but an explicit New York Times article be accepted as a source? This is just not right.
