Parishes (section)

(1) excessive number of red links (which probably will never achieve notability); (2) individual items are not referenced; (3) wiki-links are to Italian communes, not to parishes, and the communes do not mention parishes; the articles on communes are unreferenced stubs for the most part, with no material pertaining to religion or the diocese; (4) doubtful purpose for the list, which section does not make clear. Is the list notable? It should probably be deleted, unless the problems mentioned can be fixed.

I have deleted the list of parishes, in consideration of WP:NOTDIRECTORY: "Wikipedia articles are not:... Simple listings without context information showing encyclopedic merit. Examples include, but are not limited to: listings of business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions. Lists of creative works are permitted."

"Died" in dates

I have removed the word "Died" from all the dates of episcopal reigns, for several reasons.

• Up until the 20th century, that the person concerned is dead is obvious, and need not be noted.
• That the person concerned served his term until his death was, down until 1960s (a Constitution of Pope Paul VI), the expected situation. A bishop was "married" to his diocese, until death did them part. "Died" was the default. Other circumstances might be noted: resignation, deposition, transfer. These are not the default, and may need comment and reference.
• The style of dates+Died was copied from a copyrighted self-published web page, whose use was not properly acknowledged.

The use of 'dignity' and 'dignitary'

Thomas Potts (1813). T. H. Horne (ed.). A Compendious Law Dictionary (New revised, corrected ed.). London: B. & R. Crosby. p. 207.

DIGNITY, signifies honour and authority, &c., and may be divided into superior and inferior: as the titles of duke, earl, viscount, baron, &c. are the highest names of dignity; and those of baronet, knight, esquire, &c. are the lowest order. ...

DIGNITY ECCLESIASTICAL, ecclesiastical dignities, are those of archbishop, bishop, dean, archdeacon, and prebendary, and the possessor of these dignities are called dignitaries.
