The result was keep. I see a consensus here to Keep this article. LizRead!Talk! 05:00, 4 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Arbitrary cross-category without evidence of notability that wouldn’t need to exist even if the topic was notable.

CommentKeep. Not sure if a list is the best way to approach this, but "jewish" + "superhero" does seem to be a notable intersection:
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4]. It would probably work better as a prose article under a title like

Delete per Barnards (who gave a compelling delete reason, despite !voting to keep). You said it yourself that this would be better as a prose article. Also just a quick side note, the sources you're providing all talk about Jewish superheroes, but not all comic book characters generally, many of which aren't superheroes. Even restricting to that, even if it's a notable topic you could write an article about, it doesn't justify the existence of a list like this. A few random examples I looked at say nothing about this in their main articles, but are simply shoved into
Category:Jewish superheroes with no justification (a pretty non-
WP:DEFINING category to boot).

Merge (or simply redirect?) to
List of fictional Jews. That topic is notable, this list is overly specific and unnecessary.

Keep meets
WP:NLIST, the topic grouping is notable (
[5][6][7]. Criteria is clear, curation seems ok, maybe needs a bit more attention but no reason for deletion. —

Keep. Not arbitrary. Meets
WP:NLIST per sources identified.

Keep I'm not sure if these cross categorizations are an obvious topic for an article. But I see enough reliable third-party sources to justify this article. Should be improved, not deleted.
