Nectarius of Digne

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable historical person; no hits for "Nectarius of Digne" on Google Books, News, or News archives except for this, which looks like a brief mention or false positive. CtP (t • c) 15:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, with no prejudice on recreation - Can't find any sources for both Nectarius of Digne and Nectaire of Digne (which is indicated by Bishops of Digne as an alternate spelling). And the, well, terseness of the article reflects this. If someone finds something, I'm happy to reconsider. -- Cycl o pia talk  17:44, 12 November 2012 (UTC) Keep per sources found and extension. I'm happy I've been proven wrong! -- Cycl o pia  talk  23:03, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Week Keep: Searching Google in French "Nectaire de digne" or in German "Nektarius von Digne" produces more results; someone familiar with the sources might improve the article considerably. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 19:19, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Would this reference in Latin to "Nectarius ... Dinienſem Epiſcopus" also refer to the same? I'm not familiar enough with Latin to be sure (I can only translate individual easy words). Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 19:26, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * In Gallia Christiana (Google Books - I don't know how to link to the page) volume III, p. 1112 (is this how it should be cited?) there is a nicely sized non-stub article devoted to him. Ratzd&#39;mishukribo (talk) 19:50, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * What was the spelling used in Galla? If we know the spelling, then searching the book for the individual page is easy. CtP  (t • c) 21:07, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Realized my error there. CtP  (t • c) 22:15, 12 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. The entry in Galla does appear to be about the same Nectarius, and there does seem to be rather more written about him that the substub suggests.  Nevertheless, although I lean towards presumptive notability for anyone from this far into history that can still have a cogent article written about them from extant sources, I'm forced to wonder whether or not bishops who have nothing else particularly noteworthy about them warrant inclusion merely by virtue of the office (cardinals, certainly, but at some point there's a line to be drawn).

 * Keep – I just incorporated further material from two sources, and will look for more. — Hebrides (talk) 22:03, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Per the good work of those wishing to keep the article (in particular, Hebrides), I am withdrawing my nomination, but per WP:WITHDRAWN the discussion should not be speedily closed, especially taking into consideration that there was another editor advocating deletion. CtP  (t • c) 22:27, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I've changed my !vote given the sourcing and improvement. I'd say this can be closed, given that it's withdrawn. -- Cycl o pia talk  23:04, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
