Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Saint symbology
I am putting this up for comments, and suggestions. --evrik 18:14, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comments - Seems like a long list for just the two columns. Intro seems alittle short, and if you can find a way to add some more pics. Joe I 18:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'll work on the suggestions. First, I'll add some pictures, and resize the boxes. --evrik 18:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comments - references? How do we know that this is complete? -- ALoan (Talk) 19:38, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- For now, it's complete. I have not been able to find any other sources. Having said that, it may grow incrementally. --20:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- In that case, oppose - I have concerns about its referencing and its completeness. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose for now, lack of references. —Nightstallion (?) 21:48, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- The references are problematic. Many of the articles reference the symbols themselves - and a lot of the symbols were gleaned from the articles. I added a reference section, though in truth, it is the same as the external links. I don't think that referencing each line is feasible either. Any suggestions on how to better reference the list? --evrik 01:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Frankly, I don't know, but just copying from other articles on Wikipedia is *not* something featured *** should do. Either use inline citations (been done before, compare list of European Union member states by political system), or add some (preferably many) reference works containing all the information at the end of the list. —Nightstallion (?) 10:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose. Is there any evidence that this list is reasonably complete? Didn't the Catholic Church have a few hundred Saints? Do all of them have symbols? If not, why? All that needs to be addressed somewhere in the lead. Also, the very first sentence of the lead needs a source, and using other Wikipedia articles as references is definitely a no-no. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 12:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
