Strong keep. I wonder if there's any specific argument to contest the notability of the article's subject matter. Behemoth (talk) 11:44, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - there does not seem to be any reason why this guy is notable - it falls just short of WP:CSD#A7. as I said in my nom WP:NOTNEWS. Codf1977 (talk) 11:50, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep Roman Catholic diocese bishops are concern to be notable and Bishop Padovese was the bishop of the Apostolic Vicariate of Anatolia-a missionary diocese in Turkey-Thank you-RFD (talk) 12:03, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Roman Catholic bishops are notable, lots of press has been written about each and every one of them. Royal broil 12:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We are talking about this one - what has been writeen about him prior to his death ? Codf1977 (talk) 12:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bishop Padovese was a theologian and scholar and published several books-[1]-Thank you-RFD (talk) 12:36, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep Even if Monsignor Padovese was not notable before his murder, people are often notable only for the means of their death. (E.X. Rachel Corrie, various Victoria Cross winners, etc. V. Joe (talk) 15:48, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Roman Catholic bishops are notable per se. Those who are martyred just before meeting the pope or after being connected in a notable trial most certainly so. The nom is so off-base ("just short of A7") it seems to rebut an initial assumption of good faith. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:38, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per reasons above. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 ^{> haneʼ} 21:25, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is yet another case of someone having to wait for an article until they die. That doesn't mean they weren't notable in life. Certainly does not fail WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E as the nominator has said. --can dle •wicke 00:17, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a bad joke? He was a RCC diocese Bishop, theologian, scholar, and author of multiple books who has been not just been murdered but murdered for reasons that may make this into an international event. Keep --CatholicW (talk) 02:55, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He was notable before his death- all Catholic Bishops are-, and he's more notable now. Courcelles (talk) 02:57, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. In addition to the more relevant reasons mentioned by others before me, as of yet he has articles on five other wikipedias already. --Túrelio (talk) 07:20, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
