Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Clifton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Article situation

From Matt-rex. Agree, but the other one should be removed as out of date.

Hi there, Matt-rex. First of all, to start a new discussion on a talk page, click the plus sign. After you've written what you want to say, sign it with four tildes (~~~~). For more information, see Help:Talk page. As for the articles, there is no need to delete anything in this case. If the article Diocese of Clifton were deleted, then whenever someone typed in "Diocese of Clifton" in the search box, they would get a message saying that no article by that name was found, and an invitation to create one. That's not what we want. Instead, the text of Diocese of Clifton should be replaced with #redirect [[Clifton Diocese]], which creates a redirect to this article. That way, when people type in "Diocese of Clifton", they'll end up here. —Keenan Pepper 20:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

That's great - thank you Keenan Pepper, much appreciated. Still new here to the editing side, so learning the etiquette and correct methods. Diocese of Clifton is out of date, so should be redirected to the correct up-to-date version: Clifton Diocese. Thanks. User:Matt-rex 09:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger & transfer

I have two suggestions to make about this article:

1) the separate article entitled Bishop of Clifton should be merged into this article; it would be natural to include a list of bishops in an article about the diocese; and

2) the section about the current incumbent bishop is biographical in nature and not relevant to an article about the diocese; it should be removed to a new article about the man.

Views?

In most other cases ther is a separate article for Bishop of and Dicoese of - the list can get pretty long after all. Yes a separate article realy should be created for the current incumbent - there seems to be reasonable agreement that a Diocesan Bishop of the major episcopal churches is ex officio notable - it would however require sourcing.
