Template talk:Infobox

Closing comments (To be filled out by closing administrator) Background The religion entry in infoboxes has been a contentious issue for many years, with multiple participants disputing what, if anything, should come after the "Religion = " entry. Previous discussions and RfCs have made it abundantly clear that only actual religions should be listed, never anything that is a non-religion. A previous RfC determined that there is a clear consensus for removing the religion parameter for individuals (living, deceased, and fictional), groups, schools, institutions, and political parties hat have no religion, but that RfC was determined by the closing administrator to not apply to nations. A follow-up RfC determined that the consensus was the same for nations, states, etc. Despite the previous RfCs, we still have a problem with editors edit warring to keep various nonreligions in the religion entry, arguing that their favorite page is not covered by the existing RfCs. This RfC is an attempt to create a bright line answer concerning exactly what the consensus is concerning the religion entry for all infoboxes in all Wikipedia articles, without exception. Examples Extended content Examples of religions: Baha'i, Baptist, Buddhist, Caodaist, Catholic, Christian, Confucianist, Hindu, Jain, Latter Day Saint/Mormon, Lutheran, Muslim/Islam, Orthodox, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Shamanist, Shiite, Shinto, Sikh, Sunni, Tao, Wicca. Examples of nonreligions: Agnostic, Antireligionist, Apatheist, Atheist, Communist, Ignosticist, Irreligion, Leninist, Marxist, NA, Non-practicing X, Nonbeliever, None, Nontheist, Raised as an X, Secularist, State atheism, Unknown. ("Jew/Jewish" is a special case. The word has several meanings, so the source cited needs to specify the Jewish religion, as opposed to someone who lives in Israel or has a Jewish mother.)

This RfC only applies to the religion field of the infobox. This RfC does not address whether the religion parameter should be changed to something else or omitted entirely from the template. This RfC does not change the existing strong consensus that religion in the infobox must be relevant (per the template guideline), supported by reliable sources, and covered in the body of the article. Support / Oppose Proposal: In all infoboxes in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the religion parameter ("Religion = ") of the infobox. Support. Didn't we already settle this in some other rfc? For the same reasons as last time, I will support this. It would be nice if we had an appropriate infobox parameter to summarize atheistic beliefs, but "religion = " is not the one. For prominent atheism activists, such as Richard Dawkins, we can put "atheism activism" in "known for = ". For others, their atheism is not a religion and shouldn't be treated as such. If the question were, "Is this person religious?", then the answer could be "no". But when the question is, "What religion is this person?", there's really no applicable answer for atheists. We don't put "None (unmarried)" under "Spouse = " when someone is single. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:11, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
