Simply put non notable paedophile priest.

I deleted a BLP violating version of this, and Will beback then recreated a properly sourced version - which is fine. However, I think it was largely to prove a point as even Will is questioning notability here (see talk).

Bluntly, the case has been featured in some reporting, but largely as one example of what's happing in Brazil or in the R.C church in general. If we follow the sources, we might mention this if it helped to illustrate a more general article, but it is not notable in itself. Scott Mac 15:23, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I haven't looked into individual notability, but if he's not worthy of his own article, this should be redirected to Roman_Catholic_sex_abuse_cases_by_country where he is also mentioned.--Milowent • talkblp-r  16:04, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * If he's notable enough to be a plausible search term, maybe.--Scott Mac 16:16, 18 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge to Roman_Catholic_sex_abuse_cases_by_country or Catholic sexual abuse scandal in Latin America. (They seem to have duplicated material and may be improved by merging as well). This appears to be a "one event" issue. It has been widely reported on in three continents and at least four languages. However, although the crimes were conducted over a period of years, the subject's notability springs solely from his arrest and conviction. Following the convictions, there have been only a few mentions in the media. Had he never been arrested the matter would not be notable at all. That is unlike, for example, the Tate-LaBianca murders, which were notable even before the culprits were apprehended. Due to the nature of the crimes, they are now always discussed as an example of an overall problem, not because the specific case is of continuing interest.

 * Merge - although I personally wouldn't merge much or anything at all, suggest speedy merge, there was a dispute and the article was in dispute replaced by user Will Beback who has now voted to merge and considering it was him that replaced it I don't see any support that this crime report should exist for any longer than necessary as a stand alone crime report appertaining to be a life story without any success at all. As for notability, well, I doubt myself if he is really noteworthy, scouring a few citations temporarily a few reports about his crime, so, imo as a person - no long term note at all.

 * Comment, as nominator I am content with a merge or speedy merge if someone wants to go ahead and make it so.--Scott Mac 21:54, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge (snow merge?) as the person is not actually notable except as part of the larger problem for which an article exists. List him as a non-link in the article at most, possibly with the diary cite as well. Collect (talk) 23:47, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested by Will Beback. I agree this is a sort of a WP:BLP1E issue; even though he molested children multiple times, this is the only issue he's ever been noted for (unless you expect us to believe his poor work or drinking problems would have been noted otherwise), so merging to a wider article on the topic, with some less relevant detailed trimmed, and a redirect in place, seem the most suitable outcome.
