I have archived the discussion as was suggested by a number of users, while there may be some information that isnt relevant to or the result of recent events I think its best to start all discussion fresh. Gnangarra 01:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Category:Australians of Jewish descent

I agree with Gnan's revert and believe this cat should remain off the article per previous discussions. Roxon's paternal grandparents are jewish, I do not believe this should make her eligible for the cat. Infact I am against the cat altogether as it's too ambiguous, I would not want my grandparents religion/heritage to be declared my descent. Timeshift (talk) 01:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. See the AWNB thread about Fooians and Booians where consensus seemed to mitigate against such categories. Orderinchaos 01:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Also agreed. Two of her grandparents were Jewish. The other two presumably weren't - were they (say) Catholics? Should we create a category called ""People of possibly Catholic descent"? How about "People who are not Jewish but who may have some relatives who were Jewish if you go back far enough"? Sarcasm aside the category is too ambiguous to provide any information about the people within it and is against the previously-mentioned Fooian/Booian consensus. I am mystified at the apparent obsession for attempting to label Nicola Roxon Jewish when there are sources in the article making clear she isn't. We had an interminable talk-page discussion on this issue earlier this year. Surely we don't need to revisit this every month or so? Euryalus (talk) 04:47, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
