[edit] Jewish category

I removing this material per wp:blp. also, the other stuff is not sourced and what is the relevance? Thanks, --Tom 20:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, there is a very clear reference, "Who's Who in the World, 16th ed (1999) p.130 , 18th ed (2001) p.163". Secondly, WP:BLP would mandate keeping the material since Mr Baxter is obviously a very involved Jew and it is derogatory to him to suggest that he might not be Jewish.--Runcorn 20:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I think we should have a source that he is very active in the Jewish community rather than just a source that he is Jewish, SqueakBox 20:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

We have a sourced reference: "He has been National Secretary of B'nai B'rith Young Adults, secretary of the Redbridge Jewish Community Council and a member of the Council of the United Synagogue."
