Move page?
I propose that we should move this page to List of churches in Rome -- 67.81.20.56 21:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- I am against. This should not be a list of all the churches of Rome, but only of those somehow related to Wikipedia articles. And should be extended to explain the meaning of church-building in the city of Rome. For example, most of the first churches were devoted to Roman saints, or somehow related to wealthy women who supported the diffusion of Christian religion in Rome; or the fact that when the popes looked for support of the Byzantine emperors, they entitled many churches to Greek saints; or the recurrent building programs of the popes. A simple "list" is not suited to accomplish this task.--Panairjdde 22:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
- I too am against, not only because this entry has the potential of being a real article — what are churches about in Rome, that special place for Christianity, and what unites them stylistically, and their rôle in art history, etc. — but also because the category system answers the need of anyone who just wants a list. (Category:Churches of Rome)
- That said, I feel that your impulse, anonymous friend, is a good one in that this article is beginning very much to look like a list, and frankly that's not great. Yet removing the (painstakingly constructed) chronological list would be to remove information. I'm not seeing the solution yet. Bill 23:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
