Parishes[edit]

(1) excessive number of red links (which probably will never achieve notability); (2) individual items are not referenced; (3) wiki-links are to Italian communes, not to parishes, and the communes do not mention parishes; the articles on communes are unreferenced stubs for the most part, with no material pertaining to religion or the diocese; (4) doubtful purpose for the list, which section does not make clear. Is the list notable? It should probably be deleted, unless the problems mentioned can be fixed. --Vicedomino (talk) 00:24, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another request for review and comment made in February 2018, with posting of 'notability' template. --Vicedomino (talk) 19:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Diocese of Pinerolo maintains a list of its parishes on its website—which seems to make the list in the Wikipedia article unnecessary. For Wikipedia, the issue is still notability. Not all information is intrinsically notable. --Vicedomino (talk) 06:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
After twenty months, with no arguments, no comments and no objections, I have deleted the list. --Vicedomino (talk) 07:49, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removed flag of Italian Republic (1946)[edit]

I removed the Italian Republic flag (of 1946) icon from the Infobox, in accordance with several sections of WP:ICON; specifically (quoting),

  • Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many....
  • Flags make simple, blunt statements about nationality, while words can express the facts with more complexity. [Asti was for many centuries part of the German Empire (Holy Roman Empire), of the Duchy of Savoy, of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the French Republic, the Empire of Napoleon I, and under the domination of the French and the Spanish at various times. The Italian flag removed was that of the Republic of Italy, not created until 1946; Catholicism no longer the state religion]....
  • Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure [including some bishops], event, object, etc. Political boundaries change, often over the span of a biographical article subject's lifetime. Where ambiguity or confusion could result, it is better not to use a flag at all, and where one is genuinely needed, use the historically accurate flag.
