[WikiEN-l] Thoughts on naming people - article content, this time.

[The Mangoe]

There's a similar set of LGBT articles, and both they and the Jewish
articles have been bouncing across CfD of late, along with a huge
laundry list of "X-ish Ys" categories. There seems to be a tug-of-war
between one group which wants to claim people out of some sort of
ethnic/religious/sexuality pride, and another groups which is nervous
about such lists.

I'm coming to the opinion that the category hierarchy scheme isn't
working, and that we would be better served by some sort of dynamic
facility which would produce the intersection of two (or more)
categories on the fly. That leaves open, of course, the issue of
whether we should identify people as Jews or homosexuals or
what-have-you in the first place. My inclination would be "not", but
someone else will have to fight that battle.
