Soteris

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Catholic martyr and supposedly a saint. The topic is potentially notable, but the article cites no reliable sources, only self-published websites, and a book (without page number) that I believe cannot be accepted as a source given the identity of the creator: I noted in an AfD I closed that the creator,, lacks the skills required to research and write articles about scholarly topics (cf. Deletion review/Log/2020 May 10). The contents may be entirely made up or based on faith rather than any sources. If the topic is notable, the article would need a rewrite from scratch.

 * Keep: This is a Roman Catholic saint and this article should be retained on Wikipedia. Although the article does not have much sources now, it can be expanded to include more. I will try myself to do this. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 19:23, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: This user is attempting to delete lots of articles I wrote after I put a started a deletion review for a page that he deleted. I didn't mean anything personally against him when I started the deletion review and I hope he can see it like that. If there is a concern here that there is specific content that doesn't belong in an encyclopedia, I think the proper process to follow is that it should be specifically mentioned on the talk page and removed if it is challenged and sources cannot be found for it. I did not make up the information and it does come from those sources. I didn't include page references before and I didn't realize that not doing so would mean that everything in the article could be deleted. I'll remember better in the future.

 * keep Whatever enmity there may be between the parties here, the fact is that Butler and Baring-Gould, who also discusses her, are sufficient evidence as to her place within the Roman martyrology (and I would point out that "supposedly a saint" evinces a lack of understanding: a martyr would be titled "St. X"). One is not obligated to believe the legendaria of this figure in order to accept that the two of them (and there are other sources) are relating the stories accurately. Perhaps there are notability standards for martyrs and saints which she does not meet (though I think that is not likely), but this nomination doesn't address that.

 * Keep There isn't much content here anyway, so the "article would need a rewrite from scratch" argument is just not a reason for deletion. The first book source is enough to make this notable, not that there aren't more sources available. SD0001 (talk) 12:55, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
