Deletion of Stereotypes of Jews (2nd nomination)

Comment: it'll take some hard work to pull this together, but it can happen.  I did a quick review of the sources and things are looking good.   reminds us that Wikipedia isn't censored; any view expressed here in AfD along the lines of "we shouldn't have an article like this" conflicts with that core policy.  I also think that there is a difference between "antisemitism" (i.e. fear or hatred of Jews) and simple stereotypes (i.e. Jews are often known for having big noses), so a merge between this article and antisemitism is unwarranted

Comment: this '''(1)''' inevitable violation of ING (of Stereotype) that's also clearly a '''(2)''' POV magnet that will allow wildfires of POV warring, (notice how Stereotypes of Italians and Italian Americans was already conveniently REDIRECTED to Stereotype rather than get into wars in great detail that they are viewed as they are "Fascists, Mafiosis and run drug cartels"). '''(3)''' Building articles around such nebulous, volatile and dangerous "themes" such as "stereotypes" pushes the limits of Jews and others "by profession or type" into ridiculus and very dangerous grounds, so that ''seemingly'' "encyclopedic" descriptions of Jews leads ''directly'' to to "encyclopedic" ''Der Stürmer''-style content with stereotypes and caricturaizations demeaning Jews and '''(4)''' it opens up a pandora's box and cans of worms of thinly disguised racism and hate in violation of many other WP violations such as ; ;  of all Jews and Jewish editors on Wikipedia, ity. '''(5)''' Note that Stereotypes of African Americans is also justifiably up for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stereotypes of African Americans because '''(6)''' these types of articles topics are attempts to ''duplicate in negative terms'' of main articles like Jew and African American, and the material can easily be included in Antisemitism, Racism and the whole range of Discrimination articles as found in the Template:Discrimination sidebar|Discrimination template. '''(7)''' If there are positive, or negative things to be said, ''in an obviously careful scholarly and truly significant manner'', then they can go into the main articles about Jews or African Americans. '''(8)''' Are we now to have Stereotypes of Germans that they are "Jew-haters, racists, Nazis and mass murderers" ands so on and so forth? when these points can be made and included in a a much heaalthier way in other more mainstream articles and these kinds of trivial and demeaning "Stereotypes of ____" articles can be redirected to the relevant articles about each ethnic group and its history. Otherwise, choose a word and it can be added to "Jews" or "African Americans" etc and presto you have a series of lame exdcuses for "articles" about anything that is really nothing notable

Comment: and drastically improve.  Yes, the article is ugly and embarrassing to the encyclopedia as it stands, but the subject is clearly notable and (sadly) it can be verified that these allegations have been made.  Jews have been a minority people for most of their existance and as such its no suprize that stereotypes have popped up over time and these have been well recorded and written about. The subject easily passes  and

Comment: as contentless wiki-link farm. The article creator herself admits (in the article creation edit) to this being a case of  (and her choice of targets is Hymietown|bringing me back to 1984). To put it bluntly, I see nothing here worth saving. Perhaps a few of the wiki-links could be moved to the Antisemitism "see also". Regardless of whether or not this title '''could''' make for an encyclopedic article (and it Shylock|may Woody Allen|well Adam Sandler|make Kyle Broflovski|for Max Davidson|one), I think we can all agree that this current "stub" is neither encyclopedic '''nor''' a critical "stepping-stone" foundation for a future encyclopedic article - so nothing of serious merit will be lost in its deletion. If the article is substantially re-written before close, I will happily re-visit my opinion

At least the current version of the article which describes Jews as "venal, money-grubbing or thrifty, enterprising" can be verifiable but just not verified as of yet (I also claim some |common sense in this case). One need not go far to find scholarly sources analyzing Jewish stereotypes http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=jewish+stereotypes&hl=en&lr=&btnG=Search Google Scholar, for instance
