Why aren't these categories being removed as

Because it turns out to be very hard to get these things deleted, in
practice.
For the list articles themselves, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish-American_politicians
I went one at random:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Gruening ...and
not one mention of "Jew", "Jewish", or "Judaism" beside the
infobox. The two
online sources:
http://famousamericans.net/ernestgruening.com/
http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=G000508
Also have nothing indicating his religiion. Why aren't these articles just
hammered for BLP concerns? Let alone the general lack of sourcing? Less than
half the names have any sources at all. I've seen people scrub lists that
were infinitely more trivial for lack of sourcing than BLP-related lists
like this...
