[edit] Nazi Pope

Nazi Pope (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This very short article provides so little in the way of useful information it almost worthless. It seems to be an attempt at a dab page for a search term that is unlikely to be used by anyone. Any necessary information on this very controversial, and highly contested, topic is available in the articles to which this article refers, i.e., on the two respective Popes, as well as the two book titles listed in the See Also section. Without references, an article with such a title, if referring only to the current Pope Benedict XVI, would violate BLP. Simply put, the term is inflammatory, and it is highly unlikely anyone would search Wikipedia for an article with such a title. RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 02:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• redirect to Pope Pius XII. ^Law/_Disorder 02:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Such a redirect would imply that "Nazi Pope" is a legitimate term of reference for Pope Pius XII. That would be not only wholly inappropriate but offensive. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 04:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

it doesn't imply anything other then that it's something people use. i've heard of him referred to as such. ^Law/_Disorder 01:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

And that matters because? JuJube 15:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

"Other names, pseudonyms, nicknames, and synonyms" - WP:REDIRECT. Are you done being incivil to me? ^Law/_Disorder 22:17, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unless there is strong evidence that the term is widely used. I removed Pope Benedict XVI from that page to satisfy the rules on biographies of living persons. - Chardish 02:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Chardish. Redirect would be inappropriate. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 04:50, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Per Chardish. Also agree, a redirect would be absolutely inappropriate. - Rjd0060 04:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Do not redirect Unfixably POV. --Folantin 16:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• No deposit, no redirect per above. I'm aware that there are people who have heard of the person who was Pope during World War II, and wouldn't know that it was Pius XII. However, "I've heard this term" doesn't excuse namecalling. Would you type in "Polack Pope" to find John Paul II? Mandsford 02:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Not namecalling... why assume that i'm trying to push some agenda? the redirect would be usefull and thats alwase a good reason to makea redirect.^Law/_Disorder 22:24, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Then I'd hate to know which adjectives might be useful for a redirect to a page on Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. We're the ones trying to push an agenda, not you. Some of us are of the opinion that terms like "Nazi Pope" are offensive and shouldn't be tolerated. Mandsford (talk) 02:04, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

If he was commonly referred to "happy happy joy joy pope" we would redirect from that too. Do you dislike "nazi pope" because it makes you uncomfortable? ^Law/_Disorder 06:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
