Proposed deletion of this article
The event described in this article does not appear to be notable. Per Wikipedia policy, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. Significant coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline

This means that there need to be reliable secondary sources addressing the event. But this article relies entirely on primary sources - news article and columns. These are primary sources according to Wikipedia policy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_and_using_primary_sources#Are_news-reporting_media_secondary_or_primary_sources? Moreover, nearly all the sources are articles from Catholic media outlets. The lack of "significant coverage" from a mainstream news outlet suggests that this event was not notable. The only secondary source regarding the synods is Ed Pentin's book, which is available only in Kindle edition.

I recommend this article for deletion. Thoughts?PluniaZ (talk) 23:32, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

There are more sources on google scholar: https://scholar.google.de/scholar?start=0&q=%22Fourteenth+Ordinary+General+Assembly+of+the+Synod+of+Bishops%22&hl=de&as_sdt=0,5 And you can also find references in news outlets that are not Catholic: https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&bih=657&tbs=ar%3A1&tbm=nws&ei=JR9fXJCBN8rEwALjt7aADw&q=synod+2015&oq=synod+2015&gs_l=psy-ab.3...101825.105390.0.105886.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.0OFS_ImdW7U

Probably, the Catholic ones were used, as they are probably more specific. --QuasiPerlach (talk) 18:46, 9 February 2019 (UTC)


 * News articles are secondary sources, not primary sources. While there is also nothing wrong with using Catholic media, there was plenty of coverage in secular media as well. I oppose deletion.  --Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 17:17, 11 February 2019 (UTC)


 * No, news articles are primary sources by wikipedia policy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_and_using_primary_sources#Are_news-reporting_media_secondary_or_primary_sources  To compile a bunch of newspaper articles together to create an article, which is what this article is, is original research.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PluniaZ (talk • contribs) 01:34, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
