[edit] St Mary Magdalene Church

This is in fact a list of churches dedicated to Mary Magdalene. Even though she is the saint I worship most I can't see the point of having a list of churches dedicated to her. Pilatus 03:13, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand real and verifiable church. ♥♥purplefeltangel♥♥ 03:18, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • The article doesn't document a real and verifiable church. It says that St Mary Magdalene Church is a church dedicated to St Mary Magdalene, and then has an external links section. — mendel ☎ 04:58, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:CSD A3 (Any article whose contents consist only of an external link, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, or rephrasing of the title.) These links would be far more useful at Mary Magdalene. --anetode¹ ² ³ 04:14, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• Perhaps merge a few small lines about the popularity of dedicating churches to Mary Magdalene into the "veneration section" -- that is, if it isn't there already, but I didn't see any. The actual links to churches don't need to go in, though. Jacqui ^{★ 05:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)}
• Keep and expand this list of churches dedicated to this saint.--Nicodemus75 08:28, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as above, and redirect to Mary Magdalene. Radiant_>|< 12:11, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand (or merge with Mary Magdalene) I can see nothing wrong with having a list of Churches dedicated to a person. --Doc (?) 15:45, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't see the purpose of this. An indiscriminate list would be akin to a dictionary, which Wikipedia is not, and a list of particularly well-known churches dedicated to Mary of Magdala would be silly. Remember: data!=knowledge Pilatus 02:36, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
    • There is no "dictionary" in the world that has a listing of churches dedicated to any saint. A listing of churches dedicated to a Saint is, by definition, not indiscriminate.--Nicodemus75 05:03, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
