Split into two lists?

edit

Is there a good reason for keeping comics (strip and book) artists together with animators in this list, or should they be split? postdlf (talk) 18:47, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I wouldn't suggest splitting into separate list articles (we could later if it gets longer) but I would like to see the list organized some way other than alphabetically. Maybe break it into a few subsections based on specialty (comic books/comic strips/gag cartoons/caricatures/animation/etc.) and then we could organize the artists chronologically within in each section. Better yet would be a sortable table like the one at List of ancient Greek philosophers with sortable columns based on Name, Date of birth, Date of death, specialty and non-sortable field Notes.

Making it sortable would certainly be an improvement. But why shouldn't it be split? postdlf (talk) 14:31, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
To me splitting a list is usually done when the list is too long. For example, the entries on this list were originally in List of Jewish Americans, until that list became too long and it was necessary to split it up. Similarly, List of Mongolians has not been split because there are so few people on the list. At some future point the section List_of_Mongolians#Artists.2C_Writers.2C_Classical_Musicians may get longer and then get split into separate sections for artists, then maybe even Mongolian artists in their own separate list. But we're not quite there yet, and I similarly feel this list of Jewish American cartoonists is too short to split at this time. Thanks, Starblueheather (talk) 16:57, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
Agree w/Star as to the bottom line here.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:55, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
For that matter then, this list could be incorporated into list of Jewish American visual artists (which does already have at least one comics artist included). In the alternative, this list could be divided internally by separate headers for comics artists and animators without splitting it into separate list articles. Which is my main point, apart from all the concerns about length and so forth: those are two different fields and I don't see any overlap in the personnel, the industries, or the role Jewish Americans played in each. postdlf (talk) 21:50, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
I would have no problem with the second approach Post mentions at first glance (as long as that is not used as yet another reason by other(s) to attack the list and seek its deletion; i.e., questions as to the definition of comic artist vs. animator being reason to delete the list).--Epeefleche (talk) 22:22, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
