Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Jewish American musicians
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
