Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Recanati and Loreto

Merger proposal
I propose to merge Roman Catholic Diocese of Recanati into Roman Catholic Diocese of Recanati and Loreto. It seems they duplicate each other. (Generated using markasduplicate.js.) --Looperz (talk) 04:32, 3 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Who duplicate one another? I presume the bot is referring to "Diocese of Loreto" as the page to be merged. It is obvious from looking at the two pages that the do not duplicate one another. "Roman Catholic Diocese of Recanati" is a well-developed article, while "Diocese of Loreto" is a stub. What about the article Basilica della Santa Casa, which contains nearly all of the story, and the article Roman Catholic Territorial Prelature of Loreto?  A second problem has to do with the name you wish to impose. "Roman Catholic Diocese of Recanati and Loreto" is not and cannot be the name of the diocese. Italian State Law and Catholic Church ecclesiastical Norms no longer allow the union of two dioceses under one bishop, as Looperz's naming proposal would have it. It is better to leave this situation as it is, rather than to create monstrosities in ignorance of the topic. I oppose the merger at the present time.
