Abraham in the Catholic liturgy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Compared to the other subjects documented under Catholic liturgy, this seems to be excessive detail. It's kind of like an "In popular culture" section, except it's restricted to Catholic rituals. I don't think simply listing all the references to Abraham in such rituals is particularly encyclopedic, especially since in most cases Abraham is not a notable part of the ritual. All the important rituals having to do with Abraham are already covered in sufficient detail at Abraham. -- Beland (talk) 20:34, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - According to, the original version is from the Catholic Encyclopedia. This may also explain the high level of detail and some opinionated language in the current version. -- Beland (talk) 20:41, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

 * delete I do not think we need a list of name-drops in the liturgy, and that's pretty much all we have. And really, the CE article, copied into our space, is essentially as it stands constructed from primary sources— out of date at that, considering it's referring to the Tridentine and not the current rite. There might be something to be gotten from a theological work that actually discusses the matter, but that's more likely a matter of typology in general, and in any event it argues for applying some WP:TNT to what we have now.
