Talk:St. Augustine Catholic Church

This should be merged with St. Augustine Church, as almost all (if not all) of those churches are Catholic, too, and many are on the National Register.--Parkwells (talk) 19:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not so. None of the St. Augustine churches in Europe are Catholic. They are Anglican, Church of England or Episcopal. None of the European churches are on the National Register and only 3 of the American ones are. I would oppose any merger. clariosophic (talk) 03:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC) clariosophic (talk) 03:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All the American ones I happened to look at were both Catholic and on the NRHP. Maybe they should be moved to the page with Catholic churches. It's not clear to me who decides on the name; "St. Augustine Catholic Church of New Orleans" was called that on its website; the short version it had was "St. Augustine Catholic Church", but someone had already created an article as "St. Augustine Church (New Orleans)", so who knows?--Parkwells (talk) 17:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the meaning of this? I bring the page to MoS:DAB standards and all I get is a blind revert. Does anyone see the logic in this? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:23, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was not a blind revert. When I read the MOS:DAB standards, I saw that it noted a red linked dab item could be kept for a future article, if there was an expectation one would be done (they used an example of a red link "style", of architectural ornament), and if there was another link to the proposed article. St. Augustine Catholic Church in Natchez, Louisiana has been listed as one of 26 sites on the state's Louisiana African American Heritage Trail. It is listed within that article. I was trying to identify why there was likely to be a future article, as it has a 200-year history as a church founded by free people of color.--Parkwells (talk) 21:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, I know a blind revert when I see one. MOS:DAB#Red links says : "A link to a non-existent article (a "red link") should only be included on a disambiguation page when another article also includes that red link.". For example, take a look at the red links on Santos, Goku (disambiguation), Storm (disambiguation), Pogo, Gouki, Superman (disambiguation), Bongo, Astro Boy (disambiguation), BU, and Seru (name). See how they're formatted? Use the Special:WhatLinksHere feature on the red links. And if the church is as notable as you claim, why not write the article first?

Hey, could we lower the tone here? I wasn't trying to attack or insult you, and many of us are still learning the ins and outs of the MOS preferences. Because of working on an article in which two St. Augustine Churches in LA were identified on a state heritage trail, I was trying to mark them both on the disamb pages for other people's knowledge. That's not a great offense. I was trying to create a red link that would work on the DAB page as well as on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail page. Yes, the Natchez church article could be written first. That was not what I was working on then. I've invited other people to work on these articles, too, and maybe then the church will be added to the DAB list.--Parkwells (talk) 12:01, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
