This is a violation of Wikipedia:Consensus (and indirectly of Overcategorization: Non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference as will be explained.) This list was created by User:BrownHairedGirl to counteract and pre-empt a similar vote about the fate of Category:Jewish United States Supreme Court justices that is taking place now, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 April 24#Category:Jewish United States Supreme Court justices. She says: "I have created List of Jewish United States Supreme Court justices to preserve the information." But the point of putting that categeory to a vote is that the information does not deserve to be "preserved" which she has taken it upon herself to decide on her own while a vote is in progress, indeed as a unilateral response to that vote. In this case, both this category and the list are of an identical nature, and an editor should not undertake any preemptive moves, maneuvers, or leights of (the editorial) hand of moving categories to lists or lists to categories, or renaming articles, lists, or categories while a vote is still in progress with the sole purpose of saving them from a possible axing.

... I would say that you are quite wrong, IZAK. The point of putting it up for a CfD vote is to judge whether or not it is wrong for categorization. Some information is better suited for lists, while some is better suited for categories, that is why there are different discussion sections for each as each have different criteria."the point of putting that categeory to a vote is that the information does not deserve to be "preserved""
Now, I suggest you curb your very uncivil tongue. The initial AfD comment and the "wake up" response are seriously out of bounds. Tarc 15:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply
