:What happened to the List of Venezuelan Jews?  I've been busy for a few days and haven't logged in, but I recently did my best to try and cleanup, categorize, move, and tag the article/list, yet now it seems that it has been deleted.  Who deleted this list before it even had a chance to be improved, expanded, sourced?  --WassermannNYC 01:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Articles containing absolutely no references of notability are subject to removal. Names that were confirmed as notable were moved to this page as there is no point of having a separate list with 10 names. One week will be given for Wassermann and yourself to confirm these people are notables and Jewish. If confirmations are not available when that time comes, the list will be redirected to here and this talk page again. Usedup 03:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why aren't you targeting the dozens of other Lists of Jews or List of Latin American Jews, over 90% of which contain ZERO sources?  --WassermannNYC 05:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have been. This one is just the hands down worst. In about two days, I'm moving all red-linked unsourced and/or non-notables to the talk page, in which case they can be returned when proof of notability and Judaism exist. Look at List of Chilean Jews and List of Mexican Jews. After this, its List of Brazilian Jews. List of Argentine Jews looks ok as of now. Usedup 12:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any evidence that he is Jewish? --PMLF
:Good question. While I remember reading something to that effect, the lack of any reliable online evidence seems fairly damning for such a prominent figure, so I've removed him. -Juko

message: i removed nicolas massu from the list, i think that if he's only added because his mother is jewish toncs of other "celbrities" should be added as well.
:As noted on List of Jews (and discussed at length elsewhere), the word 'Jew' refers to both  a religion and an ethnicity. It is the second sense that makes it meaningful to describe someone as 'half-Jewish', just as Salma Hayek is half-Lebanese and Jennifer Aniston is half-Greek. As long as these cases are clearly marked out, current policy is to include them in lists such as these. In Massu's case, his exposure to his mother's (and grandfather's) Jewishness definitely had some effect on him, even if not in a religious way. (A separate point is that according to halacha, having a Jewish mother makes one a Jew). Juko 21:07, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't believe we should include non-Latin American personalities here. A lot of foreign born jews lived in LatAm, but we shouldn't include them. Only those born (or naturalized) in any of the countries.

message: now that this list has been properly kept, we can properly maintain it. Generally, lists of people like this have an inclusion statement that 'to be listed, there must be WP article or citations showing that the person meets certain criteria', in this case, Latin American, Jewish, and notable.  People who do not meet this criteria may just be deleted or may be moved to the talk page where the names can wait until such time as they do have an article or the citations.  
It seems the talk page has such a list (not well identiifed), so it looks like we need to move a bunch of items from the list to the talk page.  What do other editers think?
