The Coptic Orthodox Synaxarium (Book of Saints) from which this article is adapted is in the public domain. The URL you are referring to is just one online version of the synaxarium. Identical copies exist at dozens of other sites, and also at: http://www2.orthodoxwiki.org/Abraam_Bishop_of_Fayoum

Can I assume that the version at http://www2.orthodoxwiki.org/Abraam_Bishop_of_Fayoum was written by the same author who posted it here? Alphax ^τεχ 01:33, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes!

I've attempted to make a start de-NPOVing this article. I'm aware that religious figures such as this particular Saint are beloved and stories about them are similarly well loved but wikipedia is not a hagiography and these stories are inappropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Please stick to the facts. That being said I don't think this article needs to be deleted we have a whole fleet of articles about Catholic Saints it just needs to be cleaned up and conformed to wikistandards.
