Assessment comments
Please leave this article at "Roman Catholic Diocese of Aberdeen". This is the article for the current Catholic diocese, NOT the historical one. If you want to create a new one for the historical diocese and split this one go ahead. The reason this is the way it is, is because it causes BIG PROBLEMS if you don't specify this is a ROMAN CATHOLIC diocese, particularly in Scotland (Church of Scotland), etc.Benkenobi18 (talk) 03:20, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Reading the article, it's about both. It's not just about the resurrected diocese because you declare it to be. Most of the content, and almost all of it until you came, was about the historical Catholic & Church of Scotland diocese (you'll also see from the links that the historical diocese is primary usage, so if you wanna separate them, open a new article). It works better keeping them together, and causes no problems; you see, the Church of Scotland hasn't had bishops since 1689, so there's no overlap. The only problem I can see are users trying to fit square pegs into round holes in an effort to steamroller nuance in favour of mindless uniformity.

There is no distinction between the resurrected diocese and the historical one. They are one and the same according to the Catholic church. For the period that the diocese was not Catholic, that can go in a historical diocese article, or a diocese of the Church of Scotland, etc. That way there won't be confusion between the current Catholic diocese and the rest of them. I really don't care what the Church of Scotland chooses to do so long as we have a diocese article on all the current Catholic dioceses, including this one.
