List of Russian saints (until 15th century)

 * Nominator(s): Tomcat (7) 14:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

The first part of a list of Russian saints canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church who died at most sometime in the 15th century. Due to size reason I decided to create two separate lists. The second part will feature saints from the 15th century on. Seems to meet the criteria. Tomcat (7) 14:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that the name of the list is wrong. For example, not even the precursor to the Russian culture/society existed when the first entry lived. Maybe "List of saints by the Russian Orthodox Church"? Nergaal (talk) 11:47, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The last part of the lead states "most of which are Russians in the most different sense, while others are essential and important people in the Russian history". "List of saints by the Russian Orthodox Church" would be odd as they are not saints only in the local church; better would be "List of saints in the Russian Orthodox Church", but that name is not really ideal. --Tomcat (7) 15:54, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Why? The latter name is much better than the current one. Nergaal (talk) 09:35, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Then I have to add every saint canonized by the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church in pre-Schisma era (for example Old Testament prophets or the Church Fathers); this would be unneeded work as they are self-evident saints, honoured by the West and the East.--Tomcat (7) 10:49, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delegate's Comment: Sadly, this doesn't appear to be on its way to gaining a consensus either way. I'm archiving this nomination. If you decide to renominate, I recommend trying to review a couple other lists, and noting in your review that you also have an open nomination. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:50, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
