Deletion of List of Jewish American musicians

Comment: while acting in good faith, the nominator doesn't appear to be familiar with the system that this page is part of.  This isn't a seperate list, it is part of '''Lists of Jews''' which was too large to be a single article.  Lists of Jews is in turn part of '''Lists of people by nationality#By ethnicity''', which is in turn part of '''Lists of people'''.  It's part of an indexing system of all the articles on Wikipedia on people, in which people are presented by various descriptors to make them easier to find.  Ethnicity has a strong precedent here, and people's ethnic heritage has been shown repeatedly throughout history to be a strong social force, and therefore it does not constitute a "loose association" in the context used in '''#DIR'''.  Please, let's not introduce holes in the Lists of people collection.  Thank you

Comment: While there may be plenty of reasons to keep our cogent and well-researched American Jews article, this list is a Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Cross|non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations. Also, this list is a loose association and #DIR|Wikipedia is not a directory of loosely associated items. The criterion for inclusion in the list is not defined sufficiently such that inclusion is too subjective. For example, how Jewish must one be to be on the list? To what extent does the notability of the person have to be attributed to the person being Jewish to be included in this list? To what extent does the notability of the person have to be attributed to the person being an American Jew to be included in this list? What level of relationship need there be between being Jewish and American to that of being a notable musician?  Also, if this list were to be complete, it would be too big to be manageable. Further, this list encourages inclusion politics. There seemingly is an endless number of hyphenated Americans who are notable musicians and this list encourages others to seek representation of their hyphenated American group by posting their own hyphenated American musician list. Of course, then the other nations will want their own hyphenated musician lists. Wikipedia is on the wrong path with these hyphenated musician lists and AfD is a place to correct that
