List of Roman Catholic Bishops of Hong Kong

 * Nominator(s): Bloom6132 (talk) 02:35, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel its structure and formatting mirrors the other lists I have successfully nominated to FL and it now meets all 6 FL criteria. —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:35, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Source review –
 * Xlibris Corporation releases self-published books, so the reliability of ref 7 is in some question. For this to be reliable enough, Barrett would probably have to be a published author on the topic, or an expert in the field.
 * According to his obituary in the NY Times, William Edmund Barrett was the "author of more than 20 books and countless short stories" on "religious faith and social justice". —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:33, 18 April 2020 (UTC)


 * The all caps in a bunch of the references should be removed.
 * Fixed for the names. I've retained the caps for post-nominal letters – hope that's alright. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:33, 18 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Other than those issues, the reliability and formatting look okay, and the link-checker tool shows no issues. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 19:23, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm satisfied with the explanations above, and consider the source review passed. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:07, 21 April 2020 (UTC)


 * This may be a stupid question, but since John Tong Hon became a bishop again, shouldn't he have another row after Yeung? ~ HAL  333  02:17, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Not a stupid question at all! It is quite a complicated and unusual situation indeed.  Tong is not "Bishop of Hong Kong" again (as in he never re-acquired that title).  He is merely a caretaker right now until a permanent successor to Yeung is appointed.  The only reason why Tong and Francis Hsu have that caretaker title (i.e. apostolic administrator) listed in their notes is because they either were previously Bishop of HK (Tong's case) or eventually assumed that post (Hsu).  If any hypothetical caretaker in the future doesn't either become Bishop of the Diocese or was previously Bishop there, then they will be merely mentioned in a footnote (just like Fr. Gabriel Lam is in footnote G). —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:19, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, that makes sense. It's just an acting position.


 * Support Nice job. ~ HAL  333  04:57, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
