Neo-Gnostic Clergy Stubs

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was do not create.
A stub for neo-Gnostic "bishops" and their other clergy, they already have a lot of people that are already articles that are basically just, "there here you go" type articles, like Robert Ambelain for example, etc.

I propose Category:Gnostic Clergy Stub {{Gnostic-Clergy-stub}}

Can you tell how many articles would qualify for this type? (Also, the template would be {{Gnostic-clergy-stub}} and the category, Category:Gnostic clergy stubs.) Her Pegship (?) 20:31, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

From what I looked through so far, likely a couple hundred or so would quality as there's multiple online Gnostic databases that point to already existing Wikipedia articles that have a few short sentences at best. And they have an extremely large number of clergy which could possibly become future Wikipedia articles. KEleison (talk) 02:52, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

The bottom line is whether there would be any demand for such a stub type; Category:Gnostics has only 25 or so articles in it, and there isn't currently a category for Gnostic "clergy", so I'm not sure where those couple hundred articles would be found. I did a search on Petscan and came up with 67 results that fall under both Category:Gnosticism and Category:People associated with religion.[1] I haven't checked them to see whether they're all stubs.
