editI hope this works.--T. Anthony 00:53, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- I revived this as the Christian list is getting too long and also this is dealing with a slightly different topic. Several of these Jesuits are just known for science and not anything related to their religious vocation. Plus there's the fictional aspect.--T. Anthony 21:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Merger
editI am in the process of doing a major reorganization of the following three articles: List of Catholic cleric-scientists, List of Catholic scientists, and List of Jesuit scientists. The first two have received new names: List of Catholic churchmen-scientists and List of Lay Catholic scientists, respectively. Previously, there were numerous individuals contained on both of those lists; now, the lists are mutually exclusive (after a major edit of the newly named List of Lay Catholic scientists.
The next major task is merging this List of Jesuit scientists into the List of Catholic churchmen-scientists, since about 90% of the Jesuits are already included in the latter. I just completed carefully moving over the remaining information (new scientists, extending descriptions) so that the List of Catholic churchmen-scientists is complete (the names of fictional Jesuits have not been moved, however). I am about to go through the steps to merge the articles.Akasseb (talk) 13:49, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
- No, this is not how Wikipedia works. As in the WP:Five Pillars, Wikipedia works on consensus. Look up policies on mergers and create a section for discussion here in this talk page. After a week so, gauging the reactions, then proceed with the merger. Pjposullivan (talk) 15:57, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
Because of the similarity of the articles in question, the merger discussion (open for 3 years and running) actually took place here: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:List_of_Lay_Catholic_scientists. Please join in on the discussion there. You will see that it appears a consensus has formed around merging articles. Since it is best to merge incrementally, for now the merger would entail the List of Jesuit scientists being merged into the List of Catholic churchmen-scientists. At some time in the future, a new discussion could take place about the prudence of merging the new List of Catholic churchmen-scientists into the List of Lay Catholic scientists. For now, the first merger is progress for Wikipedia.Akasseb (talk) 18:32, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
- I like the gradualist approach, I noticed that all of the Jesuit entries on the list stated at the beginning of the sentence that they were in fact Jesuits, so I'm for the merge. Pjposullivan (talk) 08:10, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
- The List of Jesuit scientists has now been merged into the List of Catholic churchmen-scientists, following open discussions here and at Talk:List of Lay Catholic scientists.As mentioned previously, all of the relevant content has been carefully transferred to the List of Catholic churchmen-scientists. The Jesuits (as well as rest of the scientists on the list) are clearly identified.Akasseb (talk) 12:55, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
