However, I'm not sure I love the popular culture categories/inclusions. In my experience, it's hard to draw a line and you end up with 1000 links to songs, parodies, poems, etc. (I just killed a whole para like this that infested <a href="/wiki/Talk:Gettysburg_Address" title="Talk:Gettysburg Address">Talk:Gettysburg Address</a> if you want to see one). How long before you have to link the (offensive, IMO) "Hanukkah Harry" character Seinfeld did on <a href="/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live" title="Saturday Night Live">Saturday Night Live</a>. Also, I have a problem with "Hanukkah Bush," which first of all, has basically nothing to do with Hanukkah and much more to do with Jews observing a Christian holiday, and secondly, is an American thing, so is limited in scope. <a href="/wiki/User:Kaisershatner" title="User:Kaisershatner">Kaisershatner</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kaisershatner" title="User talk:Kaisershatner">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Hanukkah#c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-06T15:40:00.000Z-IZAK-2007-12-05T10:44:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-06T15:40:00.000Z-IZAK-2007-12-05T10:44:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-06T15:40:00.000Z-IZAK-2007-12-05T10:44:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-06T15:41:00.000Z-Kaisershatner-2007-12-06T15:40:00.000Z"></span>Whoops, reading more carefully I see Harry is already in there.

I would agree that it is typically difficult to draw a line when there are lots of movies, songs, and TV shows. In that case it is best to include the category instead of listing each song or movie (see the Christmas template). However, in this case, there is just not that much Hannukah media entries on wikipedia and so it is not really an issue. Until it becomes one, my feeling is listing these songs and movies works in the template. But I can understand taking out Hannukah Harry since he is such a minor media reference. Your thoughts?

My view is take out the whole category of media: (1) it is USA-centric, (2) it is the type of category that will grow unbounded and require enormous POV arguments about what to delete/include, (3) as it stands it includes several works that only nominally have to do with Hanukkah (eg, the "Hanukkah Song" which is really about what celebrities are Jewish and not so much about the holiday), and (4) it includes works that are mostly about portraying Jewish/American stereotypes, not about the holiday. Related to this, I am also against including Hanukkah Bush and Chrismukkah on this template. To me this just strikes the wrong chord. <a href="/wiki/User:Kaisershatner" title="User:Kaisershatner">Kaisershatner</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kaisershatner" title="User talk:Kaisershatner">talk</a>) 16:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC) (NB that I too would welcome other views on this).<a href="/wiki/User:Kaisershatner" title="User:Kaisershatner">Kaisershatner</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kaisershatner" title="User talk:Kaisershatner">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Hanukkah#c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-06T16:24:00.000Z-Remember-2007-12-06T16:11:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-06T16:24:00.000Z-Remember-2007-12-06T16:11:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-06T16:24:00.000Z-Remember-2007-12-06T16:11:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jfdwolff-2007-12-06T18:29:00.000Z-Discussion_copied_from_WikiProject_Judaism"></span>I agree the template should not descend into <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TRIVIA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TRIVIA">WP:TRIVIA</a>.

Now I just have to convince you that the rest of my argument is right :) Although HG's comments are clearly meant at least partly in fun, I'm sure he knows that <i>resistance</i> to assimilation is the core theme of the holiday. Somehow, pointing people to examples of syncretism (a nice way of saying Jews abandoning their traditions to absorb Christian ones) is in my view totally backwards for the Hannukah template. If you and/or the other editors here don't agree with that, then I would ask you to consider two more points: one, AFIK both the "bush" and "Chrismukkah" are completely American things. There's no reason a British Jew or any user from anywhere looking at En.wikipedia should have highlighted for them a regional limited cultural fad (one which, no less, is not endorsed by Jewish organizations and which in the case of Chrismukkah was decried by a rabbinical board as "insulting" to Jews and Christians alike). To be consistent you would have to add local Hanukkah traditions from Yemen, Mexico, Russia, or wherever. Two, sure, you might say "Jelly Donut" or "MaOTzur" are equally subjective or random traditions to include, so why not these other ones? The difference IMO is that at least those traditions represent Jews celebrating <i>Hannukah</i> in idiosyncratic or regional ways; in the case of the bush/Chrismukkah these are regional ways in which Jews observe Christmas. I will join in the applause for Remember, both for making the beautiful template and for having the courage to take criticism, and I reiterate that I understand the whole thing to have been done in good faith, but I still strongly hope the remaining links to (non) Hannukah "traditions" be removed. <a href="/wiki/User:Kaisershatner" title="User:Kaisershatner">Kaisershatner</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kaisershatner" title="User talk:Kaisershatner">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Hanukkah#c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-07T14:49:00.000Z-HG-2007-12-06T23:30:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:49, 7 December 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-07T14:49:00.000Z-HG-2007-12-06T23:30:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kaisershatner-2007-12-07T14:49:00.000Z-HG-2007-12-06T23:30:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Remember-2007-12-11T18:55:00.000Z-Kaisershatner-2007-12-07T14:49:00.000Z"></span>I have no strong feelings about this.

I am soliciting more views, again. It is my view that the template pertaining to this Jewish holiday should not link to examples of American Jews celebrating Christian traditions, or if you take a less critical view, at least not to examples of American Jews celebrating some completely non-Hannukah-related cultural fads. I am not saying there shouldn't be articles about these things, since they clearly exist, just that the template shouldn't point to them. They also happen to be (1) regional (non)customs, rather than components of the Jewish observance of Hannukah, and (2) precisely opposite in intent from the core rationale of the holiday itself. And just to emphasize this, I have contacted user <a href="/wiki/User:Remember" title="User:Remember">Remember</a> and made it clear this isn't personal (I appreciate the hard work that has been done in an effort to improve the article). I have a very serious difference of opinion about it (it is my personal POV that (3) it is offensive to link to this; would we link to "Yom Kippur Brunch" on the YK template if some Jews "observed" YK by eating omelettes?). I would like to know if I am alone in this.
