Neutrality
The neutrality of this article is disputed: may be is this article a "Curriculum Vitae" ??? Bollawiki (talk) 08:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Globalize: only italian perspective
The examples and perspective in this may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

There are only books and articles in italian language.

Is very important that "he did his schooling in the liceo classico of the 'Pius XI' diocesan seminary at Venegono Inferiore, in the province of Varese" ???? Bollawiki (talk) 08:39, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

The need for accurate information on contemporary scholars
I find the mindset of some intervention on Wikipedia stunning. Of course, there has been a whole series of debates about persecution of contributors who have then left the scene and the project has been criticized for its low quality levels. Here we have a lengthy bibliography of a prolific young scholar and to have it is a service. Since when is mid forties young? And what's with the ageism anyway? What's wrong with Italian? The oligarchy crowd who run the Italian edition are not really on the same wavelength as the English group and they cancelled, wrongly, an Italian article. Here there is scholarly content. It looks reliable. Why cancel it? You cancel an article because it mentions a guy's school? On those grounds, you might as well burn the entire biography section of any library. The school means the guy was a kid at a school named for Pius XI, who was a great mind and the Archbishop of Milan, who was before that at the Ambrosian Library and the Vatican Library, who founded the Oriental Institute and did a lot for learning, hated Nazis. This guy Manzi is part of a tradition of scholarship. It's a fact. Why hide it?

Then, are the people proposing cancellation into Qumran and the Letter to the Hebrews? Perhaps, but then perhaps not. There is a lively debate about all this, and it would be a plus for Wikipedia to be documenting around the subject, and in particular to be crossing the iron curtain between the hapless English-speakers with no foreign languages and the rest of humanity. Here there is a guy who has researched this topic at doctoral level and gone on to do a lot of other stuff. Why cancel his existence? Why so snooty about doctorates all of a sudden? Wouldn't it be better to document other people working on the same stuff and add a few analyses of trends, etc. If that happened on wider scale, Wikipedia would enter a new phase of usefulness. What's wrong with a school in Varese? Go look at some of the articles on minor members of minor rock bands and every burp is documented. Come on, guys, loosen up and no hard feelings, but leave the bonfires for roasting potatoes. (Alfion (talk) 15:09, 27 August 2010 (UTC)).

Personal interest?
All this fuss because Bollawiki, an Italian, undertakes a personal crusade. So far as I can gather he/she has a single article to his credit (home village!) that he splashes round whatever language editions he can manage. It should be harder to unseat an article that has been round for such a length of time. It was Bollawiki that for some obscure reason zapped the Italian version's equivalent article. Can I get people like that excluded for vandalism? (SBessarion (talk) 17:01, 27 August 2010 (UTC)).
