There are two external links to prove the importance of Vinkenti Peev, a Bulgarian Roman Catholic bishop.

No, there are two links that prove the existence - not the WP:notability. noq (talk) 14:01, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that neither link shows notability; one is a database, the other is just a passing mention. Not sure whether bishophood itself is sufficient for notability, probably not. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:51, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Checking into precedent, the question of whether RC bishops are inherently notable seems unsettled. There is a discussion of this question in the archives of WP:BIO, and past AFD discussions have fallen in both directions. In this case, if I'm reading correctly, he's an RC church in a land where Roman Catholicism is a tiny minority (currently under 1%, although the figures may have been different back in his day.) Added later: As of 2004, there were a mere 34,000 members of this diocese, according to the diocese article... and Bulgaria has increased in population since he served (admittedly, only about 10% since he died). The Archbishop who consecrated him doesn't seem to have an article. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:06, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
