St Francis of Assisi, Middlesbrough
This article is about a non-notable parish. This parish hasn't done anything unusual or important, and this article would be useful only to a very small group of people who live around the area. Wikipedia is not a collection of random information. Please note that this article is not about THE Francis of Assisi. --  T H  L CCD 13:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC) Delete all (except any that actually have information in their articles) and unlink them in the parent article - there is no purpose whatsoever in having a link from a list of parishes to a sub-stub "article" that merely states that the subject belongs in the aforementioned list of parishes. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 14:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC) Delete This is a reference-less sub stub. Also see Diocese of Middlesbrough which links to over 90 similar parishcruft articles which mostly lack content, references, or multiple independent sources to show their notability. A mass delete might be in order, but should be separately nominated from this AfD. The Wikipedia practice has been to delete such articles due to lack of demonstrated encyclopedic notability, even if a church history or some such is copied and pasted to fill out the article, or even if it links solely to the church's website.

 * Comment This article is about a parish not a person. Maybe you should adjust your nomination accordingly. You should also consider this before you proceed any further. (Note: I don't know the WP policy on including church parishes). --Folantin 13:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, lord, there are sub-single-sentence stubs on every RC parish in Middlesborough?!
 * Thanks Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I thought that a parish was the next stage above a Bishop. --  T H  L CCD 23:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Edison. The cathedral should qualify for an article if one is written, otherwise notability needs to be shown on a parish-by-parish basis. Most will fail. -- Bpmullins | Talk 21:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. WMMartin 18:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. It appears this is WP policy. The other parish stubs should go too. --Folantin 19:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: parishcruft not needed nor wanted. Go from here to the place from whence you came, and may the Lord have mercy upon your soul. Moreschi 21:24, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
