Talk:Bertrand Delanoë

Untitled
I heartily agree with de-linking the assailant. These would-be assassins are losers who just want attention. Let's not give it to them; and the world will be a safer place. --Ed Poor


 * Thanks for agreeing but that wasn't my point: My point was that if the only thing of note that this person did was non-fataly wound a mayor of a large city then that doesn't merit an entry on that person. It would be silly to say in this article that such and such stabbed Delanoë and then the only thing interesting to say at the article on the assailant is that he stabbed Delanoë. Now if he actually killed the mayor then that would be a borderline case. We shouldn't be worried about encouraging losers to be assassins just because we have an article on them but at the same time we shouldn't encourage the creation of useless articles. A couple months ago I also de-linked an edit link to the crazy inmate that killed Jeffrey Dahmer while I was expanding Jeffrey Dahmer. Who really cares about reading the bio of Christopher Scarver when all he ever did of note was kill an infamous serial killer? It would also be very difficult to find info on this person and near impossible to check facts about him that are later inserted by other contributors. --mav 21:21 Oct 11, 2002 (UTC)

Paris is larger than Berlin - please correct the statement about Paris being the world's 2nd largest city with an openly LGBT mayor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.38.107.25 (talk) 21:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Paris has a larger urban area population, but the population of Berlin proper (3.4 million) is larger than that of Paris (2.1 million). Pruneautalk 20:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Religion
What's his religious stance? It's always hard to know with French Socialists as they tend to be extremely discreet on that subject. I think he was raised as a Roman Catholic but would rather identify as agnostic. A few years back I read in Le Point one of his best friends was an elderly Pied-noir Roman Catholic priest still living in North Africa. Could anyone shed some light on that?

Hi There. He was raised as a Roman Catholic but self-identifies as "agnostic" (but not atheist). He made it clear in his last book. He says he does not know if God exists or not. Also, unlike many French socialist politicians, he shows respect for the Catholic Church. He named Paris' central square "Place Jean Paul II" and faced violent opposition, physical threats and verbal abuse from deep within his own ranks. A pretty unusual figure in the French Socialist Party. - Martin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.129.163.212 (talk) 15:13, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Italian Descent?
He is listed as "French people of Italian descent". Why?--88.70.82.112 (talk) 14:06, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Request for Comments
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 16:59, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
