Talk:Unitatis redintegratio

Merger proposal

I propose merging the Separated brethren article into this article (Unitatis Redintegratio). Though the term was apparently coined earlier, the term "separated brethren" was first officially used by the Catholic Church in the Unitatis Redintegratio document. It was this use, within the context of Vatican II, that gives the term whatever significance it has or had. There has been debate about the significance of the term on Talk:Separated brethren, including at least one editor who has doubts about the import of the term at all ([1]). Regardless, the term can be best explained and placed in context within this article. Giving the term its own article would either cause duplication of the context that Unitatis Redintegratio should provide or would make it seem as if the term has more independent significance than the reliable sources indicate, or worse, would allow for the Separated brethren article to stray into WP:OR and WP:NPOV problem areas as it has in the past.

provoking things again huh? Of course that's no surprise at all, as you cannot help yourself....

I already proved fairly well why it should be its own article, (more than once this matter has been discussed, but since you're unstable and you change your mind on a whim, and can't be trusted, this matter is brought up again by you....)

and I cited VERBATIM where you're wrong. Do I have to paste it here again? It's a stand-alone subject, and it is referenced by itself, and and and WIKIPEDIA POLICY SAID THAT THINGS LIKE THAT SHOULD NOT BE MERGED OR DELETED. I love how you respect that. Then you wonder why I have SEVERE problems with you, Nova....and why I wish you would just disappear (at least from this article). You never change, and you can't be trusted. And you have serious issues.

(Also it's dishonest and convenient for you to say that it was only "Sweetpoet" that was "edit-warring"....ah, you were too, and you can't seem to grasp that. You edit-warred big time. But your selective analysis is par for your course, we know that already... Plus my "block" was for supposedly "sock puppetting" not necessarily "edit warring" by itself, which you were guilty of too...)

and again, to re-iterate to both you and Glen (though Glen is not as much as you it seems), check this down below again:

Merging should NOT be considered if

  1. The resulting article is too long or "clunky"
  2. The separate topics could be expanded into longer standalone (but cross linked) articles
  3. The topics are discrete subjects and deserve their own articles even though they may be short

as for number 3, there's NO QUESTION that that applies to the "Separated brethren" article. It's a subject that ALONE is sourced and referenced and of interest and importance. There is a number of sources that deal with the specific term "Separated brethren" alone.

So, as I said, to answer your question, yes, I do have WP policy and guideline to support my position. This subject alone is easily sourced, and easily recognized, and independent, on its own, and can be proven to be so...and that's a lot of the criteria and policy.(As you yourself admitted.)
