List of Catholic Comedians

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Ample precedent, like Articles for deletion/List of Catholic American entertainers. I don't think there's such a thing as Vatican comedy but there might be. Bulldog123 03:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It's just not a natural intersection of topics. What would be the impetus for perusing a list of comedians of a given religious denomination? Deranged bulbasaur 03:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable juncture. I don't see List of Methodist comedians, List of Episcopalian comedians, List of Baptist comedians... Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 03:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I wish we had some way to do set operations on categories and display the result. That way, this sort of category would be completely unnecessary. You want Catholic comedians? Do Catholics ∩ Comedians. I'm always in favor of the technical solution when there is one. Deranged bulbasaur 03:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Mereological operations would make even more sense, so you could rope in articles that are in a subcategory of each category where the subcategory itself is not shared between them. Deranged bulbasaur 03:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * mw:Extension:DynamicPageList? Don't think it's installed over here though ... cab 03:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless shown by reference to WP:RS that this is a WP:N intersection. And even if it is, it should be restricted to comedians whose Catholicism is relevent to their comedy routine or other professional activities. cab 03:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Replace with category Corpx 03:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure but couldn't that be WP:OCAT? Roman Catholic Comedians? Bulldog123 04:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point, I think this might be a violation of "Trivial intersection". (same thing should apply here) Corpx 04:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Also a violation of "Non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference". --Metropolitan90 07:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Obviously...per nom. Jmlk  1  7  07:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice against recreation. This list sucks and is useless, but religion andcomedy are not trivial intersections. Many, many comedians base much of their act around their religion, other members of their religion, and their religious upbringing; it isn't in any way a trivial intersection. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 09:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivial intersection. Useight 09:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete trivial intersection. Carlossuarez46 18:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This can be a sub-category of the Comedians category.--JForget 23:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep/comment Why is this any more unacceptable than Category:Jewish American comedians? IrkCome in for a drink! 00:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That should be deleted too! Corpx 01:27, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If you can actually make that happen, I'd be amazed; see Special:Prefixindex/Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Jewish if you need some examples of how those debates usually go. cab 08:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete I see no evidence that being Catholic had anything to do with the act of any of the comedians.  Not that I haven't seen routines where references are made to papal infallibility, fish on Friday, St. Christopher's medals, etc., but as with Bob Hope, this is about people who happened to be comedians and Catholic.  With Jewish American comedians, Who ARE these people?  I'd say the same there too, unless the comedian made his Judaism part of the comedy routine.  Mandsford 01:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
