http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman would object to being on this list. see Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From the Beaten Track - The Letters of Richard P. Feynman pages 234 to 236 and 343 to 344, I am removing him 76.177.221.164 19:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

absurd!

[edit]

Of course Richard Feynman would object to being on this list. He would probably object to this list even existing. In fact, the idea of listing Jewish this-or-that is probably completely silly, if you think about it, all the more so since people can't seem to decide if Judaism is a religion or an ethnicity. But the truth is that many of the people on this list would probably object to being on it, and we can't go around taking a poll, since many of them, including Feynman, are deceased. So in the interest of fairness, Feynman goes back on the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.40.186.184 (talk) 04:58, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • He has never been cancelled from the list and nobody requested such thing, so there is no reason for a request to put him back. Anyway, even if some or most of the people in the list would object to being on it, he is not somebody who would object: he is a sourced, strong objector, and it is not inappropriate to leave a note stating this. Isn't that in the interest of fairness? Eynar Oxartum (talk) 14:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I thought this comment was a reaction to my note in brackets in the article. I realised later, that there was a previous comment about that (so that's the reason I have cancelled my first sentence). So, I think the solution to this dispute is just leaving a note beside his name in the article, stating Feynman's own position. Eynar Oxartum (talk) 14:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
