I will ignore this as utterly futile, a empty notification, and a simple attempt of censorship. It was expected that the article would be censored on terms of Wikipedia's attack on science, while using censorship to enforce it. Difference in IQ between nations and ethnicities are scientific facts. The draft was duly referenced and it shows scientific data from a century ago until recent studies. Ideological bias on Wikipedia is an extreme case of the Encyclopedia officially violating it's own rules. Could the draft make someone think that the Ashkenazi Jews have a higher average IQ? That's exaclty what the scientific studies show. Selective and ideological censorship. Sawyersx (talk) 17:52, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence (April 30)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Bilorv was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This topic has previously been found inappropriate for Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence (2nd nomination).

This draft violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy for implicit and explicit assumptions, without scientific justification, that factors such as wealth, university attendance, IQ and Oscar wins(!) are measures of intelligence or demonstrate racial superiority rather than differences of opportunity.

Wrong. It is entirely based on science; you're using original research to bring the concept of "opportunity" to the topic. You are also using OR to disagree with the sources used in the draft. The fact that Wikipedia censors this kind of topic is only a policy to avoid delicate subjects. Your answer violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy; the article is referenced, including the topics related to Ivy League attendance, wealth and IQ. There are a lot of scientific studies duly referenced in the text. The term "racial superiority" is entirely new here, it is your words, the draft didn't say it a single time. The concept of race itself is controversial, and also, the Ashenazi Jews are descendants from Semitic-speaking people and 'Caucasoid people' (As you mention race so many times, when it's absent in the draft, i will use this old term here to follow your logic for a moment) as shown by genetic evidences that are even present in the article about Ashkenazi Jews, it wouldn't make sense talking about race here, you are doing it. The reasons for Wikipedia to censor some topics are encyclopedic conventions, not scientific rejections. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia; the point is your justification, with is accusing the draft of using concepts it didn't use (i.e., racial superiority) and it originally brings the "opportunity" concept, without any scientific backing. The fact that the justification lies about the content of the article is degrading to Wikipedia's standards. Sawyersx (talk) 18:18, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
