[edit] Abraham a Sancta Clara

from VfD:

This appears to be a hoax. A few telltale signs here: firstly, there is one edit by a known vandal yet it is wikified and has a Template:1911 tag on the image. I can find no information on barefoot Augustans on Google and I've never heard of them before! However I could be wrong about this. I'm putting it on VfD anyway. - Ta bu shi da yu 02:47, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep -- It appears to check out. Searching for "Barefooted Augustinians" gives 197 hits on Google, the first being from the Catholic Encyclopedia [1]. "Abraham à Sancta Clara" gets 153 hits, mostly in German. DCEdwards1966 04:51, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Yup, it's definately from the EB. A lot of our from-1911 articles are actually being created by anons, oddly enough. --fvw* 05:02, 2005 Jan 6 (UTC)
  • And the barefooted Augustinians are even mentioned in our own article on the Augustinians. Keep. That was easy. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:12, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep it. Notahoax. —RaD Man (talk) 10:26, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Famous for preaching in Vienna when it was besieged by the Ottoman Turks for the second time in 1683. See [2]. I moved the page to Abraham a Sancta Clara, since the apostrophe is not correct (after all, this is a Latin name). Martg76 23:15, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. One of the most famous German-language preachers of all times. The Augustiner-Barfüßer (in Latin: OAD Ordo Augustiniensum Discalceatorum) are also real, although they are commonly known as Discalced Augustinians in English. See the entry de:Augustiner-Discalceaten in the German version of Wikipedia. --AndreasPraefcke 07:40, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
