Oppose simply because of the lazy ratinale. Some explanation of why nom thinks it common or a proper name, or what it's too be consistent with, is not too much to ask, is it? OK by me.

Support. "East" here is used as a proper noun. All the people with this title will use it as such, so it should be capitalized.--

Support. Agree about the lazy rationale, but the bottom line is the reader, and
User:Cuchullain has filled in the rationale in any case (thank you).

Support. Agree with the two other supports, namely that "the East" is certainly a proper noun.

Split

No consensu to split

Split proposed. Please see hatnote. Please note that there are no interwikilinks. This is essentially an arbitrary list of any and all
patriarchates in
Eastern Christianity, and for no obvious reasons as a standalone article. If even that - is it simply a list of patriarchs that share the name "East" in them? Why would this be necessary as a scope? We don't have anything equivalent on patriarchates in
Western Christianity, and for good reasons. It would all better be collected simply and with a proper overview at
Patriarchate - west as well as east - while some detailed information that would be redundant there could be moved to the specific individual patriarchates in question.

This article should be about the title Patriarch of the East. Maybe it needs a little cleanup and citations, but a split makes no sense. Yes, the history of the eastern churches is confusing. Yes, our coverage of it ranges from quite good to, more often, absolutely terrible. But we need overarching articles like this.

It doesn't have to be that confusing. I'm trying to understand you. Is it a
Patriarchate of Antioch disambiguative article that you in fact see a raison d'être for? That I could agree with. But for a "of the East", I still don't get it.
PPEMES (
talk) 15:28, 9 May 2019 (UTC)reply
And I don't get what you want. A split of what? This is basically a dab page. It is possibly redundant to
Patriarchate of Antioch and
Catholicos of the East, so it needs to be pared down, redirected or deleted. But what do you mean by split?
Srnec (
talk) 18:39, 9 May 2019 (UTC)reply
Isn't that what split means?
PPEMES (
talk) 19:32, 9 May 2019 (UTC)reply
You ask a lot of questions, but do not propose clear answers. We don't have an article titled
Patriarchate of Antioch.
Srnec (

Keep: The split suggests less information (or no information) is better information. To my mind, the present "Patriarchs of the East" is a very useful dab page that leads to all the pages a reader needs. A redirect to
Patriarchate of Antioch or
Catholicos of the East is not useful and just adds to confusion or arbitrary redirecting to one section and not the other. The existing page, if kept, can be improved through a better listing and with some additional "See also"s. Caveats added to our present article could explain what exactly a "Patriarch of the East" is meant in the page, and some words of caution to the reader would be useful and clarify the concept. But to destroy the page and fragment it to tens of pages is useless and makes the concept as "well now its anybody's guess. Reader, do your own research and find your way if you can. If you can't, tough luck. Just wonder left and right and you'd eventually bump up into some of them if you're lucky and if you are determined and persevere in your hours of blind search, hurrah, you'll find some of them and that gives you bragging rights and self-congratulation of a great work done for a tough challenge". Is that what we want our readers to go through to get the information they need? As for leading the page into some arbitrary vague umbrella title redirect, well that serves no purpose either. It just leads to a subset which may be as confusing to the reader. Having said that, a renaming to "List of Patriarchs of the East" could be contemplated for example.

Close discussion and remove the talk note. This discussion is dead and no decision was taken to close the issue. Meanwhile the eyesore remains at the top of the pageof
Patriarchs of the East. Please close and remove the annoying template that has resulted in no meaningful support. I say the all-encompassing page is a good resume and we don't need to lead the public to a blind adventure of no focus but of utter hocus pocus.

Second reminder to close the page and remove the note It is clear that the proposal has no support except for the colleague who suggested it. It is time to close this thread and remove the note from multiple pages where they were put two years ago and still stand without resolution or support.
