People born in Mandate Palestine

edit

I have noticed that many individuals in this category were only born in British Palestine, but have nothing to do with it and have grown up and lived in Israel. I think they should be removed (e.g. Arik Einstein). Please share your thoughts. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 09:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

It is an odd category. Why is Arik Einstein here, but Ariel Sharon not? Jayjg (talk) 23:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
It is indeed an odd category. But if it exists, should it be separated into Ottoman and British period pages?Historicist (talk) 03:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
The original discussion was in 2007, and today I think the category should be deleted. It's inherently problematic, and will either:
  1. List all of the Jews who were either born or lived in the pre-state area, which is completely useless, or:
  2. List those Jews associated with that period, for example Avraham Stern, Yosef Trumpeldor, etc. This is inherently OR, because who will decide which people were really associated with the period?

Isn't it straightforward to work out who was resident in Ottoman and British Palestine 1516-1948? Ian Pitchford (talk) 17:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

What's wrong with listing people like Ariel Sharon in both categories? Chesdovi (talk) 13:07, 27 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
