The result was no consensus to delete; default to KEEP. My personal belief is that bishops are probably notable by virtue of their office, which is at least equivalent to that of a regional legislator. - Philippe 03:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Louis Vezelis

Louis Vezelis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Fails WP:NOTABILITY. Fails Google News Test. Very little if any objective information on a regular Google Search. In short this fellow simply does not appear to be notable. Article is completely unreferenced, and also fails WP:NPOV. I have made some efforts to clear the latter up, but it turns out this fellow appears to be a Holocaust Denier (see article's Talk Page). Frankly, I don't think this article belongs on Wikipedia due to the sheer lack of external sources. Also note that it appears to be entirely original research.

I know that Bishop Louis Vezelis, OFM did not like being "put" on Wikipedia. However I've done "damage control" for about year now, filling in details and making it objective as possible. I know the Bishop would support the deletion of this article. I also know that Bishop Giles Butler, OFM would also support the delete of his own article. - Bay17832

  • It's not objective. It's very much original research, and very biased in his favor, and the fact that it doesn't mention his Holocaust denial clearly violates WP:NPOV. I suggest you take a look at WP:BIO--TLDR version is that things need to be reputably sourced. Furthermore, this person simply does not appear to meet the standards for WP:NOTABILITY.

  • Keep. Even without the usual references, bishops (like members of a national or sub-national legislature) are probably notable. --Eastmain (talk) 03:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Delete Does not meet WP: Bio nor does it meet any other form of notability.¤IrønCrøw¤ (Speak to Me) 04:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
