Fails WP BIO; depth of the only primary source is not enough for proving the notability Shinsi Bohansetr (talk) 09:29, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, WP:BISHOPS states that bishops of major Christian denominations, such as the Anglican Communion, are considered inherently notable. -Samoht27 (talk) 19:19, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:BISHOPS, "The bishops of major Christian denominations are notable by virtue of their status. This includes Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran and Anglican Communion bishops." As a bishop in the Anglican Communion, Ingen is covered by this longstanding precedent, and he is also an acting primate of an Anglican Province. (See also WP:CLERGYOUTCOMES, "The bishops of major denominations, including Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran and Anglican Communion bishops, are typically found to be notable.")

As I have mentioned before - WP BISHOPS is only an essay and it is not an official Wikipedia policy. Shinsi Bohansetr (talk) 11:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Virtually every bishop covered by BISHOPS has been kept at AfD as far back as you can go. It’s not just a common outcome, it’s a near-universal outcome. The whole point of it is to express the view of the community about bishops’ notability. Dclemens1971 (talk) 11:50, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a valid argument for keeping an article. Just because similar articles about bishops have been kept at AfD in the past doesn't justify keeping every bishop's article without considering individual merits. The focus here should be on whether the article in question meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines (particularly WP ANYBIO and GNG) or not.

• Keep. We have always kept diocesan bishops of major denominations. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:10, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
