Proposed deletion of St. John Chaldean Catholic Church

The article St. John Chaldean Catholic Church has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Little secondary and notable sourcing to bolster the article with additional citations

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I've tried using Google and couldn't find very much. Secretlondon (talk) 11:49, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried looking on archive.org or any of the sources availible on The Wikipedia Library? Maximilian775 (talk) 13:33, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No I haven't. It does seem to be fairly unremarkable church though. Dedicated in 2017. Secretlondon (talk) 22:35, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's notable, but I thought you folks should know that another user nominated it. Bearian (talk) 21:41, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - we appreciate it. Secretlondon (talk) 22:51, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian: your PROD notices are always greatly appreciated. I concur that there's unlikely enough available to save this article. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:50, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Vietnamese Catholic Lunar New Year (Tét)

Hi there I wanted to cover how Vietnamese culture and the Catholic faith blend together. This is Especially important to me and for removed communities or younger generations who are more unfamiliar with their significance in the Viet-Catholic community. I would love to see pages on other countries or cultures too if they have special masses or formularies approved by the church. I would love getting help since this is my first time doing wiki stuff.

Donjadao (talk) 16:23, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

also could someone help me update the title of my draft to reflect the correct accent marks from Tét to Tết? Donjadao (talk) 16:27, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

St. Anne's Church, Chennai

I'm afraid that we have two choices: send this to AFD, or add reliable sources. Let's do something about it. Bearian (talk) 22:23, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That strikes me as a good candidate for AfD. I'll take care of the nomination. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:08, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Great Conversation (Catholicism)

Project members may wish to comment. The wikiproject banner marks this as "high importance" for your project... Not familiar with the topic so no opinion myself on this topic. Best.4meter4 (talk) 05:12, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find much on this, from a trivial search. I doubt this is high importance. Secretlondon (talk) 11:39, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Non-Diocesan entities in Diocesan infoboxes

Is there an existing consensus as to whether non-diocesan/religious-order institutions should be in diocesan infoboxes? I think it's uncontroversial that the Diocese of Covington's infobox contains links to Thomas More College and Bishop Brossart High School, as both institutions are administered by the Covington diocese. The question is whether religious-order institutions, IE Our Lady of the Ozarks College, should be included in the template of the diocese in which they are located, (in the case of OLOC, the Diocese of Springfield–Cape Girardeau. Maximilian775 (talk) 21:49, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think if a jurisdiction's ordinary can exercise ordinary authority over an institution, then yes. If the ordinary authority belongs to some else, no. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:01, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of Catholic bishops in Great Britain?

G'day everyone! As there are pages such as List of Catholic bishops in the United States and List of Catholic bishops in Australia, would it be appropriate if I created one for Great Britain? I don't believe there is such a list for Great Britain (if there is, I haven't been able to find it). Just want to double check before creating List of Catholic bishops in Great Britain. Thanks! TheTimeBombII (talk) 09:40, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TheTimeBombII: yes, with proper sourcing it absolutely could be done! ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 21:26, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Darth Stabro: Awesome, I've created the page. Should I add a link for the list page to Template:Catholic bishops and archbishops in England and Wales? That may be beneficial. Furthermore, should a link to the list be added to the see also section of individual British bishop pages? If so, is there any way to speed that up, or would it just have to be done by hand? Cheers!

List of bishops, prince-bishops and archbishops of Strasbourg

This article has been unsourced for almost 20 years. I would appreciate editors from this project assisting in adding references. Best.4meter4 (talk) 20:54, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

History of Catholic theology

I've recently made the article, and I think the subject is very important, but it also needs a lot of work. Any help with it would be appreciated. Thanks! Wikieditor662 (talk) 02:03, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
