First Majority Catholic Supreme Court

Delete un-encyclopedic - may rate a mention on SCOTUS article, but not its own article.--Rogerd 17:29, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is not an encyclopedia subject—this is nothing but a potential statistic. Postdlf 17:30, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Massive change in Supreme Court's composition, and major historical fact worthy of debate during deliberations. 31 October 2005.

Unsigned comment by anonymous user, who also vandalized my vote.[1] Postdlf 18:47, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge this and First Minority Protestant Supreme Court (listed above) into a single article on the Composition of the United States Supreme Court by religion, which some might find useful. BD2412 T 18:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- Note - I've started Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States - this can be sent there. BD2412 T 19:45, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
  - Vote changed to delete - per Postdlf, the redirect would be useless (even if harmless). BD2412 T 22:50, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a POV fork of little value. Capitalistroadster 18:37, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Supreme Court of the United States. Preferably a small, dark corner of said article. —Brent Dax 18:40, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge As suggested by BD2412, possibly including a comparison of the religious make-up of SCOTUS vs the US population as a whole. RichardJFoster 18:49, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Dalbury 19:36, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - If this info is deemed relevant, an all-encompassing page on the SC's religious makeup would be better. Tarc 19:51, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. No deletion required. Trollderella 20:24, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge with statistics page/article.
Merge with BD2412's Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States. JDoorjam 20:51, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States. jengod 20:59, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States. --Elliskev 21:03, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vote changed to Delete per Postdlf's logic - makes sense--Elliskev 14:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States topic as a good fit.
Comment—Regarding "merging," I like the new SCOTUS demographics article, but I don't think this should exist as a redirect even if the "fact" contained in this stub gets appropriately mentioned there. Deletion is still the proper vote here, and deleting this has no consequence on any independent editorial decisions regarding demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States.

- You know, I can't really disagree with that, but I also think a merge (which would just be the redirect at this point) would be harmless. BD2412 T 22:40, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete. unencyclopediac, POV. "Demographics" article is all that is needed --NealMcB 01:38, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Tempshill. --Benna 02:29, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The title is bad, and an article dedicated solely to this fact will be hopelessly POV. mmmbeer^{T / C / ?} 11:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is so bad. What is the point? Monkey Tennis 16:25, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; as per User:Postdlf, a redirect is unnecessary and would cater to a POV. --Russ Blau (talk) 22:35, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the naming of this article borders on OR. Who would type that in? Jacqui ^★ 00:51, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
