Talk:List of Baptists

Untitled
Can this list be merged with the much larger list:Baptists ? Kyle.Mullaney 23:53, 12 November 2005 (UTC)Kyle
 * This is the only list of Baptists I am aware of in Wikipedia. Could you provide a link to this other list you are referencing?  Gold Dragon 03:20, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

The link is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Baptists I am sorry it is a category not a list


 * You might be thinking of List of famous Baptists. Yeah, I think those two articles should be merged.  71.205.25.184

Justin Timberlake
Does anyone have a reliable source that he is a Baptist? He said here that he was spiritual, not distinctly religious. Mad Jack 19:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Question to User:Gold Dragon
Well I guess. That being I'm unclear why the creator put all names in "Surname, Christian name" format. Like I couldn't add Christopher Priest (comic book writer), I had to add Priest, Christopher. I'm guessing adding difficulty avoids spurious additions maybe? Was that your reason? (His/Her talk page seems fairly well ignored)--T. Anthony 13:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * This is a common format when listing names in alphabetical order but the other way is also common. The format just started that way when the list began on the Baptist page so it continued that way when it was moved to its own page. If you wish to change it, feel free to do so as long as it stays consistent, I really don't care what the format is.  Gold Dragon 23:18, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay. Actually I think I'll leave it as is. It makes adding names a bit more work, but changing the whole thing would be far more work.--T. Anthony 03:08, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Patrick Swayze
I know this list is pretty loosely defines a Baptist, but if Swayze was raised Catholic, converted to Buddhism and then to Scientology, then when was he a Baptist? He should be removed from the list, unless we can find out when and to what extent he was

List Red links
As this list should be one of notable Baptists, those without wikipedia articles should likley either have an article written, or be removed.

In addition, for those who are not notable for being something were that would automatically come up in their wiki biography, please ensure that the bio does say something about it, and that it is from a reliable source. --Rocksanddirt 18:10, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Red links removed per no discussion for over a year. SonPraises (talk) (contributions) 12:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Pictures
Pictures are a huge bonus to the page, but just a reminder, fair-use of copyrighted images may be appropriate for the biography of the person, but it is not fair-use on a list article. In a biography the image is used as fair use because it illustrates the subject. SonPraises (talk • contribs) 01:55, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
