Bishop Kevin Vann[edit]

Over to you guys. Originally tagged as speedy-delete (criterion A7). — Timwi 17:13, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the official website:[1]. Catholic Bishops certainly can qualify for articles, but I reserve comment on whether all bishops deserve their own article. --M @r ē ino 17:27, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth, which has more information about him than this article, which is basically a stub and a prayer. The prayer (presumably from his investiture) is hardly encyclopedic and has no value from what I can see. Generally, I've only seen individual articles on cardinals and notable archbishops, or bishops who have been involved in major news stories. Fan1967 17:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article was tagged for deletion while it was in the process of be built.
- He is the servant for the people of this diocese, therefore I belive that yes he does deserve his own article (as does anyone in a substancial authoritave role).
- More information will be posted as I recieve it.
- Diocese Page should list the bishops but leave the details to individual articles

Redirect per Fan1967. --TM 19:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand, or redirect to list or diocese if not expanded. Bishops in major churches are notable enough in my view, more notable than the average professional baseball player. u p p l a n d 20:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Contains personal info For some reason, this article contains a mailing address. I suggest that the article be deleted (there's not really much else to it to salvage), but see no reason against re-creation of a real article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:35, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If you remove the prayer (copyvio) and the address (against policy) there's nothing left but a stub with less information than we already had at the Diocese article. Fan1967 21:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Fan1967. As a second choice, if the article is kept, move to Kevin Vann per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). --Metropolitan90 03:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete to remove copyvio and personal info, then Redirect per Fan1967—WAvegetarian•_{_{CONTRIBUTIONS}}^{^TALK}• ^{^EMAIL}• 03:53, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
