Although the site is a common source for Bishop and Diocese-related articles here on Wikipedia, I wasn't able to estabilish WP:NOTABILITY of the subject from a swift Internet search alone, and the article currently presents inappropriate sources for determining such, one being an Alexa page and the other citing the website directly. Alternatively, a redirect to Salt + Light Television is possible, of which the site's creator seems to work for. Game Is (presumably)  Wikipedian  ( tea? ) 20:59, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: Notability in question. fails WP:WEB. CleanAmbassy (talk) 02:05, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: needs some sourcing that it is used as a reference by news sources and authors. Linked to quite a few wikipedia English pages (~2500). Better to redirect if decided. 14:08, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * seems to be one of the top sources for info on Catholic bishops and dioceses used in various wikipedias

 * Comment Wikipedia is not a WP:RS. If there are sources that establish notability, they should be added to the article — Ad Meliora Talk∕Contribs 15:51, 21 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. Whether is is used here and there is nowhere near relevant. See Articles for deletion/Soccerway etc. The sources in the article don't talk about the website as such, at all. Geschichte (talk) 03:18, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I did not mean to list the links as support for notability just that it is used as a reliable source by numerous wikiprojects. The fact that it is used by numerous newspapers as a reliable source adds to its notability (there are books that use it as well). I kind of look at it like a newspaper (where many of the smaller newspapers have no citations supporting their notability but numerous wikilinks as they are used as a reliable source). Anyhow, I would prefer to redirect it rather than delete it and then maybe add a little to the author's mention so people can get at least a little idea of the source. anyhow, I put a note on the wikiproject Catholicism page maybe someone has some more input or sources.
