Talk:Seraphim Storheim

reduced to lay monk
Seraphim has been reduced to lay status by the OCA. I could add this to the text but am not sure how to word the first sentence. OCA statement deposing and laicizing Seraphim --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:22, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

What to call him. Should it be "Monk Seraphim, deposed and laicised Retired Archbishop Seraphim of Ottawa, (born Kenneth William Storheim on 25 January 1946) is a former senior hierarch for the Orthodox Church in America (OCA)"? or "Seraphim Storheim, retired, deposed, and laicized Archbishop of Ottawa, (born Kenneth William Storheim on 25 January 1946), is a former senior hierarch for the Orthodox Church in America (OCA)"? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 18:23, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Second options sounds better (more neutral) to me. Just be sure to also add references to reliable sources.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:55, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Someone did it, looks good, if no reference or source. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 15:13, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I have removed the unsourced contentious assertions per WP:BLP. They should never have been added without reliable secondary sources to back them up. Do not restore them without adding such sources. Elizium23 (talk) 01:26, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

I found a source that seems good - the OCA itself announcing its decision. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:02, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
