List of Jewish chess players
Delete this for the same reason the List of Muslim athletes is up for deletion; see its AfD page here.
The faith of none of these people had a bearing on their career as chess players, and using lists such as these to boost ethnic pride is contrary to the principle of neutrality central to Wikipedia. Pilatus 14:43, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

- Comment-I know of champion checkers players who got their start in church functions. If there are cases of chess players who got into it in synagogue or yeshiva I'd say keep. Uncertain though.--T. Anthony 00:09, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- If there are cases of people who got into chess because of the attendance at a religious group's activities, then that belongs in their article. Putting them in a list with co-religionists who perhaps learned chess in the navy, at school, on a gay safari in the Congo, or whatever, tells you nothing. Would we stand for a list of people who learned chess in school clubs, I think not. --Doc ask? 00:19, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- Let me rephrase because that's not how I meant it. "If there are cases of chess players who got into it in synagogue or yeshiva I'd say keep, under the understanding I mean restrict it only to chess players who started like that." I think learning from a religious institution would be more noteworthy then a school and I think religion can effect almost everything in a person's life. This is a very marginal possibility on that so I am not voting keep or voting at all.--T. Anthony 00:28, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

- Delete If being Jewish had any influence on the ability to play chess, I would vote to keep. But it doesn't. Denni ☯ 01:51, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
