Congregation of the Heart of Mary

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no such thing as "Congregation of the Heart of Mary". This page simply lists unrelated religious congregations whose names happen to contain "Heart of Mary". Neither a broad concept article or a disambiguation page is suitable (because none of those listed here is actually called "Congregation of the Heart of Mary"). This might have been a useful page in the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, where it was copied from, but Wikipedia does not lump unrelated things together like this. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 11:33, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - the nom is essentially correct in saying that this article does not describe a single entity or concept, and thus should effectively be treated as a disambiguation page, with the relevant policy essentially coming down to something like MOS:DABMENTION. I note that one of the linked groups, CICM Missionaries is known as "Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary." How important is the distinction? Is the phrase overly general such that a redirect would be inappropriate? I'm not certain and will wait for others to weigh in. MarginalCost (talk) 14:52, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 'Keep, or failing that, split into an article/stub for each of the separate orders so as not to lose content. But I think the reader is probably better served by this long-standing multi-topic article. If gathering them under the title "Congregations of the Heart of Mary" seemed appropriate to the editors of the Catholic encyclopedia, experts in the subject area (I'm not), we're probably best to continue with it. (Our title was plural until a recent page move). Pam  D  16:08, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. This looks to me like a Set index article: a list article about a set of items of a specific type (Roman Catholic religious Congregations) that also share the same (or similar) name ("Heart of Mary"). The plural title might well have been better. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:51, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think you're right, . It being a SIA didn't occur to me. Withdrawn. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 20:49, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
