:::I believe the category "[[:Category:Jewish_People|Jewish People]]", refers to "people who follow the Jewish religion", not necessarily whether he was an ''important'' Jew? One of Velikovsky's biographer's considers his Jewishness important enough to write an article "The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky", ''Aeon'' vol.2 No.6, 1991.
