Amadia and Akra


Both places already have existing articles. This is a contested speedy, so bringing it here. D e nni talk  22:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep for a number of reasons. Firstly the nomination is incorrect, the sees don't have their own individual entries, they are recently created redirects to the general region.  Even if they did the dioceses could be seperately noted from the towns. Secondly dioceses (IMO) have inherent notability, and this goes double for dioceses that are not titular.  Finally, they are listed in the Catholic Encyclopedia which gives them notability even if it isn't accepted that dioceses have.  Wikipedia can't be regarded as comprehensive if it excludes subjects of significant articles in major encyclopedias.  JASpencer 22:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per JASpencer. Nomination is mistaken, as they do not have articles on their own. I agree with JASpencer that dioceses are notable enough to have articles of their own, and these have already been included in another encyclopedia. Uppland 07:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
