Wikipedia:Proposed naming conventions (Catholicism) - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Catholicism))

This is a failed proposal.

Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.

This page in a nutshell: The terms Catholic Church and Catholic are acceptable names for the worldwide church in full communion with the Pope in Rome. Although branch theory-derived objections tend to be rejected along WP:FRINGE lines, what settles the WP:CONSENSUS is WP:PRIMARYUSAGE. Article names, and by consequence its content, should not be changed from this convention without strong reason.

These naming conventions regarding the Catholic Church is a collection of guidelines on how to name Wikipedia articles about the Catholic Church, as well as associated people and entities. It is offered as a central point of reference.

Background: failed 2017 naming convention proposal

The background of the former draft was summerised as below, on the situation across Wikipedia with inexisting, centralised naming convention. Until a more accurate understanding is proposed, this is what is offered:

The article name Catholic Church was set in 2009. Branch theory-derived and theological neutrality-appealing WP:POV/WP:PRECISION (ambiguity) objections tend to be dismissed along WP:IDONTLIKEIT/WP:POINT/WP:FRINGE lines. However, what has nevertheless settled the WP:CONSENSUS since 2009 is interpretation of WP:COMMONNAME/WP:PRIMARYUSAGE; both echoing preeminent self-designation. Generic articles since followed suit per WP:CONSISTENCY until all generic Catholic Church-related content pertained in 2017 (notably excluding episcopal conferences, provinces, dioceses, and some independent organisations). A naming conventions mirroring this consistent, arguably de facto convention, was drafted here in September 2017 with background in User:Vaquero100/CC vs. RCC from 2006, in turn a mix of an essay and a naming convention proposal previously referred to in discussions. While in a drafted state, a formal admission proposal by voting was initiated by a user but failed after a few days 6 October 2017. It has since been renamed and maintained in a failed proposal state. Though, a follow-up discussion includes a derived Cuius regio, eius religio-styled convention. In 2018, a new proposal was drafted at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Catholicism).

Working todards a new draft: Introduction

After Wikipedia:Proposed naming conventions (Catholic Church) failed, discussion about it went on at 1) Wikipedia_talk:Proposed_naming_conventions_(Catholic_Church)#Cuius_regio.2C_eius_religio, and 2) User talk:andrewa/Roman or catholic#Possible new proposal name.

To refocus the discussion again, this naming convention draft article emerged as a centralized location where on the talk page there is room to discuss the possible revival or modification of a new proposal, suggestibly taking into account the former failed proposal.
