List of popes by length of reign

 * — (View AfD)

I see value in keeping a list of the 10 longest reigning popes, however, I find everything written below this article to be lacking in adequate research, OR at the very least to be slanted with an anti Catholic bias in regards to St. Peter. Non-Catholic Christians can claim that Peter was not a Pope because no one used that title until a later date but that does not make it so, Using this logic, I could claim that there is no Trinity or Bible, for that matter, because both of these titles were not used to name the concepts until years after the concepts were widely accepted. Also, I'd like to see a cited reference to Originally, popes were styled "Vicar of Peter," TCHERAMIE 01:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with 10 shortest reigning popes, and get rid of the POV stuff that follows the list. It has nothing to do with the list, and the only place where it could belong is in an article on Peter or the Papacy (although there it would probably be too POV to stay for long).
