[edit] Rosalia Lombardo

Appears to be a hoax. Google images, for instance, for this "appearance of only sleeping" - only has one relevant photo, discounting the drawing. Could have been edited, as there is only one photo, without vindication. Google hits reveal 288, seems rather suspicious. "Died before the secret was passed on" seems rather a hoax too - most scientists would be eager to pass on a great discovery. Natalinasmpf 01:14, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Apparently real. I remember her from somewhere but she is real. There is a catacomb (I dont think Paris) in which people people requested burial. Hundreds of years of dead people are stuffed in this place left to rot. Many of them have on their burial garments. Other, like Rosalia, are well preserved. Jaberwocky6669 03:27, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, see this morbid yet wonderful page: KING'S CAPUCHINS' CATACOMBS OF PALERMO ITALY Jaberwocky6669 03:29, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

Merge I change my mind to merge to Capuchin catacombs of Palermo Jaberwocky6669 04:18, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

Well gosh, now I say delete because as i read it, Rosalia Lombardo has exactly the same information as Capuchin catacombs of Palermo.

• Keep. Actually quite famous, for a corpse. - Nunh-huh 04:23, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• I am the most undecisive wikipedian ever. Hmm, you have inspired me to say Keep again... Maybe the page could include lots more info Jaberwocky6669 04:44, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - true story, and a notably well-preserved corpse. -- BD2412 ^talk June 28, 2005 03:32 (UTC)
• Delete as duplicate content, see Capuchin catacombs of Palermo. JamesBurns 28 June 2005 04:33 (UTC)
• Keep. I like fat redirects. Wile E. Heresiarch 28 June 2005 06:19 (UTC)
• Borderline case; she existed but died in infancy and is famous just because her body has been preserved in a famous place. There is not much information about her for a simple reason that she did not live long enough to do anything notable. One way would be be to turn this page into a redirect to Capuchin catacombs of Palermo in case somebody has heard her name and tries to find out who she was. (Note than when I wrote the page about the catacombs, I could not find more about her than is already included in the page). - Skysmith 28 June 2005 10:52 (UTC)
• Redirect to Capuchin catacombs of Palermo as duplicate info. As separate article, she is nn.Unsinkable 28 June 2005 18:42 (UTC)
• Keep, or Merge or Redirect - I've read more about this case - it's somewhere in my personal library but I can't go look for it right now because it is too hot. I shouldn't even be voting. Maybe I cancelled myself out. But don't delete - she really is a very famous corpse. --Mothperson 29 June 2005 00:44 (UTC)
• Redirect. At least this definitely isn't vanity. -Splash June 29, 2005 02:25 (UTC)
