Talk:St. Jude Catholic Church (Allen, Texas)

Church personnel should be relevant
How is the pastor of a church, especially one who has garnered independent news coverage, not relevant to an article about the church? It shouldn't be the focus by any means but as a section of this article it certainly feels both useful and relevant. - Dravecky (talk) 02:47, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Dravecky, have a look at WP:BLP1E - I don't think the fact he is married should be mentioned in this article. PhilKnight (talk) 02:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * And if he were the subject of this article, as that policy describes, I would agree with you but this is a simple entry about the pastor of a church in the context of a larger article whose subject is this particular parish. If proper sourcing can be found, a line about his religious education or training would also be appropriate. I do accept that the paragraph was perhaps poorly placed and should not have been in the opening section of the article. I'll attempt a light rewrite/reformat on it to better integrate it into the text. - Dravecky (talk) 05:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * After poking at it a bit, I've added a bit of history I found a solid reference for in the Allen Image magazine, added a key category, reformatted a tiny bit, and cut down the section on Father Church quite a bit. Indeed, since the ABC News article did not address him directly (which I was under the mistaken impression that it had) I've cut it and the trivia about the number of married priests then tagged the remaining sentence with a fact tag. My preference would be for a brief, well-referenced paragraph or two detailing the pastors assigned to this parish but my Google-fu has failed me this evening so I'll leave it be for now. - Dravecky (talk) 05:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
