[edit] Palatium Britannicum

I propose that this article should be deleted. Reasons include:

  1. The building it refers to is now called Santa Pudenziana and a page exists under that name - all verifiable information about the history of this church belongs there.
  2. After considerable discussion no-one has been able to present a verifiable source which suggests that the Santa Pudenziana ever bore the name "Palatium Britannicum".
  3. Palatium is Latin for the Palatine Hill, it doesn't mean "palace", so the name "Palatium Britannicum" is impossible linguistically.
  4. The "Palatium Britannicum" story appears to be derived from a discredited and dishonest source - Jowett's The Drama of the Lost Disciples.

Any opinions? --Nicknack009 22:15, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment I'd like to offer a tip of my hat to Nicknack009 for taking the time to present a lucid and compelling argument for deletion. - brenneman(t)(c) 00:43, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - after reading all of the discussion page for the article, I concur with the nomination. - Dalbury(Talk) 02:30, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Replace. A possible alternative is a rewrite that says that it is a fiction that has achieved the status of a myth among a certain fringe group, then giving Nicknack009's four essential reasons why it has no basis in fact. Wiki also has a value in debunking myth, since no paper encylopedia could afford to give them the space to dismiss them. --Red King 23:46, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
