No indication of wp:notability under SNG or GNG. No content other than it's existence. IMO an inevitable permastub limited to that. Better merged to a line or sentence or two in the rail line article. North8000 (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Is not even a guideline, it's an observation of common outcomes, and per other posts, it appears that even that observation may be wrong
  2. Conflicts with their blanket statement, stating a few types which are usually kept after which it says:"Other stations are usually kept or merged and redirected to an article about the line or system they are on.""
North8000 (talk) 13:47, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All WP:RAILOUTCOMES does is illustrate the consensus, which most assuredly exists and has been established over many AfDs. Nobody is claiming it is a guideline, but WP:CONSENSUS is a policy. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:30, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My post just said that that is not accurate, and gave many specific. You are just repeating your previous assertion. North8000 (talk) 16:06, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Existing heavy rail stations on a main system (i.e. not a heritage railway) are generally kept at AfD. Is this is a heritage railway? No it isn't. And yes, it is accurate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:18, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the first section from the essay that you have been quoting from and trying to mis-use Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Common outcomes#Citing this page in AfD and you will see that what you have been trying to do with it here conflicts with it in many ways and is invalid.North8000 (talk) 13:21, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One AfD does not a consensus make and the comment by the closer is irrelevant and overreach (they should have joined the conversation to take a position). So what is the change in consensus from the RfC from 2019 to which you refer? Djflem (talk) 19:50, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Did you even read the RfC I linked? It said there is NO CONSENSUS that train stations are inherently notable. NO. CONSENSUS. It is your comments here that are irrelevant and overreach. You are claiming a consensus that explicitly has been found not to exist. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:02, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As you mentioned consensus can change (through discussion or editing). Since the 2019 RfC one can see consensus is to not delete articles of this type.Djflem (talk) 10:43, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The survey clearly represents Wikipedia-wide consensus developed over an extended period of time to keep such articles. Wikipedia:Arbitration succintky states that "where there is a global consensus to edit in a certain way, it should be respected and cannot be overruled by a local consensus". This is re-iterated at Wikipedia:CONLEVEL: "Consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale."
Please see my post which you were ostensibly responding to where you completely ignored the points made in it, which refute your most recent post. North8000 (talk) 15:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, nothing to do with that post. Pointing out the fact Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Transportation/archive demonstrates a community wide consensus through editing to keep articles of this type (handily condensed in survey presented). Djflem (talk) 20:00, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a single-market local radio show, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing our notability criteria for radio shows. As always, radio shows are not "inherently" notable just because they existed -- they have to reliably source a claim to significance, such as winning noteworthy radio awards and/or being the subject of enough media coverage in sources independent of themselves to pass WP:GNG.
But there's no evidence of anything noteworthy being shown here: firstly, the article just reads like a listener summarizing the show's format, without making any effort to record any external validation of its significance. Secondly, the only source that's actually being used to footnote any content was self-published by the station that aired it and thus isn't an independent source for the purposes of establishing notability -- and while there is one independent news article about its cancellation in 2018 being used to footnote the footnote instead of the article body, one piece of media coverage in the same market's local newspaper isn't enough all by itself. And thirdly, even on a ProQuest search for older coverage that wouldn't Google, I didn't find anything that would turn the tide: apart from the same newspaper article that's already here, I can only find one other source that might actually be useful, and even that's a fairly short piece which still isn't substantive enough to nail notability to the wall if it's the only other thing I can find. Otherwise, I'm only finding glancing namechecks of the show's existence in tangential coverage of Andy Frost's stint as a hockey announcer and/or his thoughts on the anniversary of Woodstock, which don't help notability as they aren't about the show.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the show from having to have much better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Is not even a guideline, it's an observation of common outcomes, and per other posts, it appears that even that observation may be wrong

The global consensus through editing seen at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Transportation demonstrates that the community has consistently chosen to keep articles of this type (main line stations).

Reviewed under new page patrol. This is a website with no indication of wp:notability under SNG or GNG. It declares a bunch of self-defined self-awarded firsts where that claim appears sourced but isn't. Except for one, any of the sources that mention them in the ref section text are where their on site is the "reference" Found only 1 few-sentence mention of them by independent sources in the listed references. North8000 (talk) 16:03, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's a massive difference between an award that can be listed for completionism's sake in an article that's already adequately referenced as having strong notability claims and strong sourcing, and an award that can actually constitute a topic's article-clinching notability claim in and of itself. M. Night Shyamalan, for example, is in no sense depending on "Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards" as his notability claim — dude's got Oscar nominations under his belt, and would have a Wikipedia article on that basis even if the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards didn't exist at all. So no, the fact that his article happens to list a couple of Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award nominations does not mean that an unrelated topic gets to claim that it's notable specifically because of a Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award nomination — an award can only be a notability claim for its recipients if it's an award that demonstrably receives enough GNG-worthy media coverage to demonstrate that the award is a notable one, and cannot be a notability claim for its recipients if you have to depend on the award's own self-published website about itself to source the claim because media coverage is non-existent.
And no, we don't keep poorly sourced articles just because somebody theorizes that better sources might exist than anybody has actually found — once notability has been questioned, you have to show that the necessary reliable sources to salvage the article with definitely do exist to get an article kept. Please see Wikipedia:But there must be sources!. Bearcat (talk) 12:04, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article came up at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Triarch as a potential redirect target, but several users (and myself) have noted that this DC Comics story arc fails WP:GNG. The content is solely a short plot summary and a list of issues. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 11:28, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Was kept at AfD in 2009 because of an unsubstantiated claim that the subject met WP:ATHLETE (older and more lenient version of WP:NFOOTBALL) but no claim to meeting WP:GNG. Now that ATHLETE and NFOOTBALL are irrelevant, this simply needs to meet GNG. Current source is a stats profile page from a primary source, which is unacceptable. Searches in Google News, ProQuest yields one trivial mention and DDG has no WP:RS at all for him. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 09:59, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept in a 2009 AfD back when the guidelines were much more lenient; it simply had to be likely to pass WP:ATHLETE, the predecessor to WP:NFOOTBALL, to be kept. The sources presented in the previous discussion were all examples of trivial coverage and do not amount to a WP:GNG pass, which is the current requirement. Searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest yielded nothing better than Wikipedia mirrors. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 09:26, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Was kept at AfD in 2009 as, back then, WP:ATHLETE (the predecessor to WP:NFOOTBALL) was all that you needed to meet to have an article. Now that WP:GNG is the sole relevant guideline, I don't believe that this article qualifies any more. In fact, searches of "Mohammed Nuru Dini" and "Mohammed Dini" in multiple search engines are giving me no useful results at all. Unless clear significant coverage can be found, this article should be deleted. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 08:56, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Romanian Brazilians

Articles on this subject have already been deleted, as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Romanian Brazilians and a G4. I haven't seen the deleted article and so am not tagging this article for another G4. However, the same arguments apply as in the AFD, including not everything is encyclopedic and not enough information to be encyclopedic. The references verify that what is in the article is verifiable. The question is whether the subject is encyclopedic, and it has already been decided once that it is not.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 brasilia.mae.ro Says that Romania has an embassy in Brazil Yes Not about the subject Yes No
2 romanialibera.ro Romanian newspaper - Says that there are 200,000 Romanian Brazilians Yes States that the subject group exists Yes Yes
3 romenos.com.br An article about one group who emigrated from Romania to Brazil Yes Not really Yes Yes

Per WP:SERIESA. Minimal third party coverage, just lots of getting profiled in sources like WP:TECHCRUNCH. The Washington Post article is actually syndicated from Techcrunch. Not notable.

The current sources in the article are: A wayback link to Mark Evanier's personal blog, a dead link to a newspaper article that apparently just reprinted the joke, a review of an album containing a reference to the joke, two dead YouTube links, and a jokebook. While there are multiple hits on Google Books, all of them are either jokebooks that just reprint the joke, or works of fiction that use the joke. Not a single one of them discusses the joke's history or origins. Compare the sources in bar joke, which extensively discuss the earliest known origins of it, the common setup, and use literary sources on humor to expound on why the joke is such a standard. Similarly, every result on Newspapers.com was either just a reprint of the joke, or an episode title with "Klopman" in it. The first AFD was kept mostly per WP:ITEXISTS ("it existed before Mark Evanier wrote it into Garfield and Friends, therefore it's notable"). The two books cited as reasons to keep in the first AFD are one that only mentions it in passing, and one that just reprints the joke without commenting on it. The second AFD was kept per the now-404 newspaper article which I am now entirely unable to locate. These were in 2008 and 2010, and surely consensus has changed by now given that the state of sourcing has not improved. Also apropos of nothing, this article is a complete WP:ORPHAN and has been since creation. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 03:18, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Calvin and Hobbes#Calvin's alter-egos. I would like to express my gratitude towards Daranios for their thorough effort at finding sources. Regrettably, the consensus is that the verifiable content that can be gleaned from those sources should be included as part of the main Calvin and Hobbes article rather than in a standalone article.

No out-of-universe notability asserted. There are no sources at all in the article, and I was unable to find any that did not originate from Watterson himself except for a few superficial mentions (less than a full sentence) in articles about Calvin and Hobbes. Neither Calvin nor Hobbes has his own article, so it makes zero sense for Spiff to have one. Redirect was contested with rationale of "take it to AFD".

Here's yet another secondary source which has a good-sized paragraph on Spaceman Spiff: Comics Through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas p. 928. It also tells us that the character had a history before Calvin, though, granted, those earlier strips don't seem to have been published. Another reason why treatment in a stand-alone article might be preferable is the sheer amount of material presented on Spaceman Spiff in secondary sources.

I nominated this article for uncontroversial proposed deletion a few months ago, but it did not qualify as I had already nominated the article beforehand years back. I should've read the criteria for WP:PROD more carefully, that's on me. Since that initial nomination I think I can now properly articulate why the article should be deleted: It is lacking in sources as the film has not received significant coverage. The only notable sourced aspect of the subject matter is the involvement of Leslie Neilson, which could be merged into his article. Otherwise, the subject matter fails to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines outlined in WP:MOVIE. The article on the Waterman web series has been deleted for similar reasons concerning a lack of sources. I did some searching and haven't been able to find additional sources outside of two citations from Google Books and this article, both related to Neilson.

This doesn't appear to be a notable book or one that exists at all. Searching via title and author gives nothing but a circular source from google books (which literally cites Wikipedia), the ISBN returns nothing in the usual places or anywhere else. And on the off chance it does exist, it certainly isn't notable. PRAXIDICAE🌈 00:45, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  1. No mention on the author's page.
  2. No news coverage.
  3. No listings on WorldCat or Goodreads.
  4. No photos of the book or its artwork are present on the internet.
  5. The only info on the internet mirrors the content present in the Wikipedia article.
I've emailed the author, but I'm not sure if she'll get back to me. In the meantime I'd recommend not mentioning this in her article until we have some proof of publication. Part of me wonders if this was an early title for her book Spellfall, which released in 2001. Perhaps it was promoted in another book under this old name and the editor assumed that it was a separate work? Her books also tend to be popular enough to where information is easy to find in some form or fashion, as they were widely published. It just seems unlikely that a book released at the start of her popularity would have zero information about it other than what's in the Wikipedia article.

Actually, that's not my reason for deletion. And yes, military intelligence might seem an oxymoron, but it is real with real secondary sources to support it. My reason here is that there is no such thing as "secular clergy" and I have good reason to believe this article is a hoax. If you think it's 'notable' please provide the necessaryWP:RS secondary sources that say the term refers to ordained members of the clergy. There are no independent sources that support the term 'secular clergy' nor do they describe, identify the titles or duties of this so-called secular clergy. A member of the lay ministry is never a member of the clergy anymore than an altar server would be. Clergy are ordained priests, especially given that none of the sources provided in the article mention such a category. Bodding (talk) 22:54, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, sorry the sources you are quoting are not reliable, secondary sources. Show me a source from the National Catholic Register, or the New York Times religion section, or some other actual bonafide source. Homemade websites are not reliable. Bodding (talk) 01:31, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: I don't know if you're joking or what. Catholic Encyclopedia is such a reliable source that it became the basis for a task force wherein as much content from it was transferred to Wikipedia. Another source is quite literally published by Oxford University Press, the premier academic publisher. In any case, if you're so intent on NYT sources: here.

@Bodding: Since this AfD is going to collapse either way, this is the last I'll mention it. However, here, have a source completely divorced for a Catholic-managed institution (as though OUP was not enough). Oh, and here is a source from the Episcopal Church (the American one, not the Scottish one). Next time you nominate, please Google the term first. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
One need not even Google, but merely click the links in the "Find sources AFD" template to see that the term is not a hoax and refers to what we say it does. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 02:25, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And I can put up a website that focuses on Catholicism and even call it a dot org, that doesn't make it a reliable source. Show me an independent source like The National Catholic Register or the New York Times religion section. That is fact checked and reliable. The term clergy is reserved for ordained priests. The laity, even the Lay ministers are never part of the clergy any more than altar servers are. They compliment the clergy they are not themselves ordained snd are not referred to as clergy. As in, Joe is a member of the lay ministry.' Lay ministry is the term used, not clergy. A diocesan priest is not a member of the secular community. He is a member of the clergy in the Catholic Church. Whether they live in a rectory or are wealthy enough to have their own homes, they are always and forever members of the Catholic clergy. They are never called 'secular clergy. Monks and nuns are called 'religious.' Monks are still ordained and are members of the Catholic clergy. John Paul II was as much a member of the clergy as Padre Pio a Capuchin monk. Neither was called secular. Bodding (talk) 01:31, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
John Paul II was a member of the secular clergy. The distinction between types clergy is secular and religious; religious meaning those who are in a religious order and taken vows and commonly live in a monastic cloister, and secular those who have not taken such vows and "live in the world". Being "secular" has nothing to do with the lay state in this context. As a diocesan priest, I am a member of the secular clergy. John Paul II, as a cleric of the Archdiocese of Krakow, was a member of the secular clergy. Padre Pio, as a vowed Franciscan, was a member of the religious clergy. here are a few peer-reviewed articles that talk about secular clergy in such a way - as well as the aforementioned church law that uses the term. You're simply incorrect. Words can be used in equivocal ways, and "secular," while in the context of people in general would perhaps mean a layperson, in the context of "clergy" means a clergyman who has not taken monastic vows. It is the technical term in this usage and is correct. I'm sorry. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 02:12, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
John Paul II was a diocesan priest. That's what this article should be about. The differences between religious groups that are independent and diocesan priests that go to seminary. This term and very poor quality of this article, the total lack of reliable sources, should in itself have it deleted. At the very least, it should be moved to a the more inclusive diocesan term and the current edits that totally lack reliable sources should be removed. The article is littered with notices to that effect. Don't argue for the sake of arguing. Show me a reliable source and not the websites that anybody can put up. Bonafide published articles about the subject. A diocesan priest goes to seminary, he is Ordained into the priest, he does take vows of celibacy. He does not live in a community like monks. He lives at the rectory of his parish church where he is assigned by the Archdiocese. That should all be explained, but it is not. The title is misleading. You are describing a slang term more than an actual official title. Diocesan clergy, not secular clergy. Bodding (talk) 02:48, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My brother in Christ, I have now twice linked you to the Catholic Church's Code of Canon Law which clearly uses the term in a technical manner. Not slang. I have also linked three peer-reviewed articles, two from JSTOR, that use the term. The fact that you would say a phrase like "religious groups that are independent and diocesan priests that go to seminary" that is frankly nonsensical or state that a diocesan priest takes "vows" (which only religious priests do) shows you're out of your element when discussing this topic. There are also secular clergy who are not diocesan; such as the members of Opus Dei (cf. Code of Canon Law 294, regarding personal prelatures and secular clergy). Swallow your pride. You're incorrect. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 02:58, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We've now linked to a number of reliable sources. It is not a slang term when the world's premier publishers use the term. Yes, "diocesan" priest is very common today, but that doesn't mean "secular" clergy or priest is incorrect. --Johnnygoesmarchinghome (talk) 03:03, 27 June 2022 (UTC)Johnnygoesmarchinghome Talk[reply]
They all follow rules. Diocesan priests must take vows of celibacy, just like monks. Diocesan priests are under the aegis of the Vatican. and are considered official members of the clergy. Whereas, "religious" are independent. If anybody is secular it's them. They must seek approval to function. They all take vows, they all adhere to rules, and they are all ordained. I think the confusion is with the Lay ministry, and not the priesthood. They all must be celibate, take vows, recognize the Pope and adhere to the oversight of the Vatican. A man who goes to the seminary and is ordained is automatically under the aegis of the Catholic Church. All religious, on the other hand, must seek that approval to form and maintain their collectives and must adhere to the rules of the Catholic Church, just like the Diocesan priests. Bodding (talk) 03:16, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: Actually, not all diocesan priests must take a vow of celibacy. Previously married priests in the Latin Church and married secular Eastern Catholic priests are not bound by those regulations. Please, you are very, very wrong. Retract and move on or risk looking worse. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:22, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Married men who seek entry to the priesthood are the exception. If they enter the priesthood as single men, they must remain single and celibate. It is not the practice of the Church to seek married men, but it will make an exception for them under certain circumstances. Bodding (talk) 03:26, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Secular clergy make promises of simplicity, celibacy, and obedience. Religious take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. There is a difference both in the action (promise vs. vow) and the content of the action (celibacy vs. chastity, simplicity vs. poverty). The fundamental difference between secular clergy and religious clergy is that secular clergy do not make vows and are not "in religion." Moreover, religious priests are just as much "official members of the clergy" and under the "aegis of the Vatican" as I am. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 03:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: At this point, it is way off-topic, considering you're not even engaging with the...ten-ish sources you've been given. But, to humor you, yes: the Catholic Church does seek married men for vocations to the secular priesthood. The Eastern Churches will seek them out, and so will the personal ordinariates for former Anglicans (yet another instance where "secular" rather than "diocesan" is the appropriate term for the clergy) ~ Pbritti 03:31, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Pbritti: Try as you might to demean me with the Twitter insult and now you're going to "humor me," does not deflect from the fact that I've been nothing but civil and have consistently presented explanations. I've also offered a solution in simply moving the page to Diocesan priest and adding in reliable sources to the term. In Canon Law, I can find no specific reference to 'secular regulars' or "canon secular." Religious are a very different class and the article could become the difference between the two. The use of 'secular' could be stated as "Diocesan priests, also referred to as 'secular clergy,' with the Canon law reference for the use of that term. Bodding (talk) 04:16, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding Not all religious are ordained, such as religious brothers and sisters (frequently called monks and nuns in common parlance). The comments on this page so far have used the word "Diocesan" 18 times but there is not an article for "Diocesan priests" because the correct term is "Secular Clergy" Ante annum (talk) 03:36, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"religious" refers to monks and sisters. The sisters are not ordained, but they do indeed take vows. and yes, Monks are ordained. All of them. Max Kolbe, Padre Pio, to name two. All took the vows of celibacy, all were granted the right to consecrate the Host, conduct the Mass, hear confessions and absolve sins, and all may administer the sacraments of the Church including baptism, first holy communion, confirmation, and weddings. Sisters are granted permission, just like monks. to form a collective and follow the rules of the Catholic Church. They all honor the vow of celibacy. Bodding (talk) 04:06, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: No, not all monks: they're called "lay brothers." You clearly do not understand this topic as much as you believe you do. Please, just accept that. We want to have you edit productively on here, but your comments here are incorrect and contribute to a deleterious understanding of Christian clerical groupings. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:11, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, they are married men and may not live at the monastery. They can remain in their homes. I've met several lay Capuchin brothers but that is an entirely different class of relgious. Do not conflate religious with diocesan. They are separate. Bodding (talk) 04:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bodding: You are still (very) wrong, see lay Carmelite monks here. You have not been civil in the way you think you have. Instead of actually examining sources, you've wasted time by proposing a delete on the basis that this was a hoax. Instead of admitting the error, you doubled- and tripled-down and ignored the sources three editors provided that demonstrated this is a more encompassing term than "diocesan priests" once you started trying to change the topic to that. This will be my last message on the topic. Please, consider letting this loss go. ~ 04:24, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Carmelites do not receive Holy Orders and are not ordained. This is not a legitimate equivalency to other lay brothers as the Carmelites are not married with families. They are single men and they are cloistered. This is a very different type of "lay monk." Being cloistered, their lives on centered on prayer, not administering the sacraments, thus they do not receive Holy Orders. Bodding (talk) 04:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. Carmelites are monks who many are not ordained (some are). You just said that all monks are ordained. You are out of your element in talking about this, I am sorry. here, once again, is the Code of Canon Law explicitly referencing secular clerics. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 04:45, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please note, Carmelite Lay Monks are an entirely different class as they are cloistered. They do not administer the sacraments and are NOT ordained as they are not monks like the Capuchins who do receive Holy Orders. As I said, they do not represent an equivalency. Bodding (talk) 04:55, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's best to let it stand for now without personal attacks and more constructive commentary. Bodding (talk) 04:28, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody has made any personal attacks, but has merely pointed out that you are mistaken. And the only person who has not been constructive is you, because you have refused to accept the evidence of independent reliable sources. I have learnt something from this discussion. You could too if you stopped stubbornly clinging to your prior beliefs. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:48, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The distinction between secular clergy and regular clergy is well known and often referred to in works that have occasion to discuss particular priests or monks. The nominator seems to have misunderstood the meaning of secular in this context; see definition 3 of the adjective at Wiktionary. Deor (talk) 12:35, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I haven't misunderstood. I'm simply referring to the commonly used terms Diocesan and Religious where the former attend seminaries under the aegis of the Archdiocese. They become priests after a time of post-graduate service as a deacon in a parish. They are typically assigned to the area under that Archdiocese can be moved to any other Archdiocese if needs are greater there or there is a legal issue pending that requires removal.
Where as religious have formed their own group known as an Order without any direct oversight by an Archdiocese. But after a time, must petition to be recognized in order that they may receive Holy Orders and be ordained as priests. However, as was earlier pointed out, some Religious prefer to serve as lay brothers because they seek to become cloistered and live a life of prayer. Sisters are always considered Religious and form their order, and are approved, in the same way. Each of the orders has stages one must pass through before final vows can be taken. Sisters also take Holy vows to serve and remain celibate. All groups, Diocesan and Religious, remain single and celibate. However, devout married men and widowed women may also join the Orders. Married men typically seek to be Diocesan for practical purposes. Bodding (talk) 13:52, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You were misunderstading the meaning of secular, as you nomination statement and your reply to Maproom (the first "keep" registered above) indicate. Deor (talk) 15:40, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If your issue is "I'm simply referring to the commonly used terms Diocesan and Religious," then you you seem to be suggesting the title be changed to "diocesan clergy." If that is what you are suggesting, the debate might be close as "diocesan" seems more common is informal parlance while "secular" is the more formal term. Right now "diocesan clergy" and "diocesan priest" redirect to "secular clergy." However, given that hundreds of thousands of people around the world have the official job title of "secular clergy," seems to be a non-starter as far as notability as that is so obviously notable as to be ridiculous. >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemusfeci) 14:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  1. ... an effort to tamp down the acrimony between the secular clergy and the new mendicant orders [40]
  2. Today, Thomas Becket is among the best known medieval saints, and is venerated as protector of the secular clergy in England. [41]
