Paintings - WP:OCAT

See the policy. Please stop adding paintings to inappropriate cats like Category:Christian art (already in this tree lower down) and Category:Christian iconography (for topics in the subject, not normally individual works). Adding to Category:Altarpieces will often be appropriate. If and when we get a category for gold backgrounds, it should use the technical term: "Gold-ground paintings". Thanks, Johnbod (talk) 15:55, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Adding - if anything Category:Roman Catholic Church paintings would be the appropriate category, but that is so incomplete it is hardly worth adding to, imo. Johnbod (talk) 16:15, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Felix Meyer (industrialist)

The article Felix Meyer (industrialist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Written by a descendant? Nothing here to meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Felix Meyer (industrialist) and John Hennig articles

Hello. In Felix Meyer (industrialist) and John Hennig there are no references. Can you state where the articles were sourced from? Better still can you go back and add references, per WP:BURDEN? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:58, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Deletions in Infoboxes: priests

I believe I may understand your problems with including Permanent Deacons under secular priests. But nowadays they perform most of the functions of priests, except the consecration of the host and the forgiveness of sin. They are certainly fully functional administrators in most dioceses, especially where a shortage of priests means there is no residential pastor. Your problem (and mine) is with the template, which should have separate categories for various ordained ministers.

And, one cannot simply say "(religious)" with a small -r-, which means one has a positive belief with regard to things divine. That is not the same as "Religious Order". One must keep in mind that the general reader is not likely to be acquainted with the niceties of theology, ecclesiology, or terminology.

Word use: diocese vs. bishopric

You ought to look at original documents. A pope never creates a new bishopric. He creates a new diocese, delimits it, and names a cathedral church. Only then does he appoint a bishop for the new diocese.

Antony Brown (journalist) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Antony Brown (journalist), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creep^Talk 12:05, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
