 * Delete per nom - Clearly copied off & reworded here & there, I appreciate the creator had reworded it somewhat but unfortunately it's not good enough here. IMHO I don't think anyone will transfer to WikiSource (I've never used the site in my life so wouldn't know the first thing about transferring there!), – Davey 2010  •  (talk)  21:28, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'm not overly convinced this should be kept nor do I agree with Plagiarism but at the end of the day we're an encyclopedia and we should have articles on stuff like this, So I'll have to say Keep. – Davey 2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 02:36, 5 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Prune and keep -- I accept that we cannot keep plagiarism. However, if she is a saint revered by the Assyrian Church, we ought to have an article on her.  I would thus suggest cutting this donw to just the lead and adding an external link to the plagiarised source, by way of reference.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:36, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. Agree that we should retain articles on saints recognised by legitimate churches. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:11, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
