minster

"[A] title adopted by a church with no monastic history for reasons of pretentiousness" – seems like a bit of unnecessary editorializing going on here. — SMUconlaw (talk) 18:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

What would criteria would a supporting citation have to meet? How would one find support for an element of the definition like "for reasons of pretentiousness"? Letting an entry fail by reason of neglect on RfV denies us an opportunity to kill it on legitimate grounds that would be a helpful precedent for how we apply CFI.

Can't we simply eliminate the editorializing in that definition? The crux is whether we can support the definition of minster to refer to a church with no monastic history. Kiwima (talk) 02:21, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
