Hello TheLonelyPather,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Transformare l'organizzazione dei luoghi di detenzione. Persone transgender e gender nonconforming tra diritti e identità for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Transformare l'organizzazione dei luoghi di detenzione. Persone transgender e gender nonconforming tra diritti e identità to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi I have sent you couple of messages requesting a review of the revised draft - may I again request here once to bring to your notice the earlier messages thru my talk page over last week.

Would be happy to receive your review and possibly sufficient work done for removal of earlier decline. Jn.mdel (talk) 11:54, 12 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just wanted to give you a heads up on an off-project discussion I had with a couple fellow editors regarding future articles in the Christian subject area. Do you have any key Christianity articles that you feel should be a priority to getting to GA or FA in 2025? ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:13, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Pbritti Thanks for the ping! I believe that FAs are more of a personal effort and so I am not inclined to push people to do it. That being said, I would like to see the following articles becoming GA in 2025. I believe that there are a plethora of sources available regarding these important subjects. I am trying to be inclusive for all denominations through this list.

Place: Notre-Dame de Paris—if Westminster Abbey can get GA then so can "the most famous of the Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages" (Britannica).

Bible: First Epistle to the Corinthians—important, relevant, and (somehow) contentious. One could argue that we Wikipedia editors have a responsibility to provide prevalent and accurate scholarship up here to the general public.

Person: Francis Xavier—I was about to put Thomas Aquinas here but it would take years to bring his article to GA; fortunately Francis Xavier didn't write that much and would make a suitable candidate.

Book: Mere Christianity—highly notable, sources are plenty, and the book isn't that long.

Institution: Seminary—we need to fix this article. It is in dismal state.

Council: First Council of Nicaea—need I say more?

My personal priorities for 2025, right now, are

• Johann Adam Schall von Bell—German polymath missionary in China.
• Lin Zhao—martyr during the Cultural Revolution.
• Jingjiao Sanwei Mengdu Zan—a little surprise for you all.

Happy Advent to you! Let us expect some beautiful articles happening next year. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 21:34, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Draft:Old Catholic Apostolic Church (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thanks for the review and for the reasons given for not approving the article. It’s not going to be an easy one to fix as the article is about the Old Catholic Apostolic Church, for which the authoritative source of information, and citations, is the web site and documents of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church!

I’m struggling to see how I can cite other sources. Do you have any concrete suggestions?

TheFenlandFather (talk) 15:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for reaching out, @TheFenlandFather. I think it will be helpful for you to read WP:Notability. To quote from Wikipedia's general notability guideline: A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

If you cannot find significant independent coverage of your topic, then I am afraid that it is not suitable for Wikipedia—yet. Feel free to go to WP:Teahouse if you have other general questions as well. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 16:04, 11 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
