delete or re-write with encyclopedic content I could see a list like this that also gives some encyclopedic information about history, etymology, and usage and discusses the social and historical importance of anti-semetic slurs. This information could either be here or at anti-Semitic, however. HominidMachinae (talk) 23:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:NOTDICTIONARY, WP:INDISCRIMINATE. As noted above Anti-Semitic could have a list like this, but as part of the article, not a stand-alone list. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:44, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect content to either List of religious slurs or List of ethnic slurs. Singling out the Jews with their "own" list of slurs is going too far. IZAK (talk) 06:53, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Expandable; several of the items are notable in their own right, and therefore a list of them is appropriate. The others probably are also & the articles should be written. . A list of unpleasant things is as encyclopedic as a list of pleasant ones. DGG ( talk ) 22:13, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
keep—per DGG, as well as wp statement on standalone lists of words: Wikipedia:Stand-alone_lists#Lists_of_words. this one clearly meets WP:GNG as the subject of the list has been discussed in multiple rs as a topic in itself. see for instance:

Geoffrey Hughes (2006). An encyclopedia of swearing: the social history of oaths, profanity, foul language, and ethnic slurs in the English-speaking world. M.E. Sharpe. pp. 272–. ISBN 978-0-7656-1231-1. Retrieved 10 October 2011.
Philip Herbst (15 June 1997). The color of words: an encyclopaedic dictionary of ethnic bias in the United States. Intercultural Press. pp. 133–. ISBN 978-1-877864-97-1. Retrieved 10 October 2011.

note that the last one is a reliable source suggesting that a dictionary of words related to ethnic bias is an encyclopedic topic, also the link points at "kike," but the rest of them are in there too, not only defined, as in a dictionary, but discussed, as in an encyclopedia. i only looked for english sources here, as there were enough to make it clear that the subject is notable.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 23:07, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (back) into List of ethnic slurs by ethnicity or List of ethnic slurs, or put any new content into anti-semitism. However, i suspect there is nothing new here. By my searching, this is the only group singled out at this time for its own list article of slurs. since its nowhere near the largest list (the only criteria i can think of for starting to consider breakaway lists), theres a distinct POVness to this existing here.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:31, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
