Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here)-United States Episcopalian Bishops are consider to be notable. This article should not be deleted. Thank you-RFD (talk) 22:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@RFD: Which notability guideline says that? I was not aware of any policy that says that. FuriouslySerene (talk) 13:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FuriouslySerene:-In the Wikipedia (people) guideline in additional criteria-Any Biography it states in number 1: "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times." Lewis Bliss Whittlemore was honored when he was named and consecrated an Episcopalian bishop. This would cover Roman Catholic bishops, Eastern Orthodox bishops, Anglican and Episcopalian bishops-thank you-RFD (talk) 13:54, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
