Subject of the article is a major feature in the article benefice. It is redundant and inconvenient, especially considering that other articles link to this one. Mebigrouxboy (talk) 22:04, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:DICT. This article can only be a dictionary definition, and Wiktionary would be the appropriate wiki project for that. I would not oppose a redirect to benefice but not convinced one is required. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:11, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Benefice. StAnselm (talk) 22:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge and Delete to Benefice per WP:MAD. The disambig at Living is sufficient and Living (Christianity) is a confusing and ambigious title and an unlikely search term for the idea of a "Living" in Anglicanism. Jahaza (talk) 03:30, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Benefice. I do not think there is much to merge.  I do not think the reference to Trollope's novels is in fact correct.  My understanding is that a living is much the same as a benefice, which might be a rectory, a vicarage, or even a perpetual curacy.  The matter of holding a benefice and paying a curate on a pittance is likely to be an aspect of pluralism, as formerly practised in the Anglican church.

 * Redirect to Benefice as an alternative to deletion, as I think this could be made into a proper article with some research. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 16:42, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
