thread_title: Excommunication???

message: This text was repeated three times in the article. 
:Initially a Roman Catholic military chaplain of the Franciscan Order, Filipovic was expelled from the Franciscan Order before the war had ended,http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/facts/fm0015.html but not excommunicated by the Catholic Church.Katolička crkva i Nezavisna Država Hrvatska 1941-1945 by Jure Krišto, Zagreb: 1998, pg. 223Michael Phayer; The Catholic Church and the Holocaust: 1930-1965; Indiana University Press; 2000; p237
I've reduced it to one and removed it from the introductory.--72.66.12.17 (talk) 22:03, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Why would you remove it from the lead? It is directly relevant to his notability. I have reverted your changes, pls discuss here. Thanks, Peacemaker67  (crack... thump) 22:06, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

text: *How could the fact that he was a military chaplain and friar NOT be a highly notable fact about this fellow, who committed horrific crimes? Whether the expulsion was made public or not at the time is completely irrelevant. He's dead, his story is complete, and it is an important fact that should be in the lead. Please read WP:LEAD. Your approach is akin to not mentioning that a convicted paedophile was a Catholic priest or teacher. The sources seem ok to me. If you are challenging their reliability, there are plenty of reliable sources that state he was a friar and was expelled. Please read WP:BRD for an explanation of how we deal with bold editing, reversions and discussions. Thanks, Peacemaker67  (crack... thump) 23:15, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It is pretty clear that he was a priest, and was expelled from his order for joining the Ustashas. This is a central aspect of his life, and goes both to the involvement of Catholic clergy with the Ustashas and the rather muted Church response to the fact, as well as the issues around clericalism within Ustasha ideology. You are removing properly sourced material that is directly relevant to his life story. Removal of it detracts from the article. I'm happy to obtain a third opinion or RfC it if you wish.

thread_title:  Unnecessary repeated 

message: Should the lead of this article mention that Filipović was a military chaplain and Catholic friar who was expelled from the Franciscan order before the end of the war but was not excommunicated by the Catholic Church? Peacemaker67  (crack... thump) 10:34, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: *  well, he's automatically notable because he was commandant of an extermination camp, but he is particularly notable because he was a Franciscan friar at the time. Peacemaker67  (crack... thump) 06:05, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: , according to what sources? Per WP:SOLDIER, individual is notable being the leader of a notable unit in a time of conflict, the unit being the concentration camp. So being a friar matters what to being the leader of a concentration camp?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:55, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  he'd have more than enough sources to meet WP:GNG as well as WP:SOLDIER, but given the actions he personally took in terms of murdering inmates himself and overseeing executions, his status as a friar is highly relevant. But the sources are the place that much of this is clarified. Raul Hilberg's The Destruction of the European Jews Vol. 2. p.712 introduces Filipović as a Jasenovac commander as follows: "the Franciscan friar Miroslav Filipović-Majstorovic", and Mitja Velikonja's Religious Separation and Political Intolerance in Bosnia-Herzegovina p. 173 says he was the most infamous of the Ustasha chaplains, nicknamed the "Evil Monk" and "Satanic Friar". David Bruce MacDonald's Balkan Holocausts? Serbian and Croatian Victim-Centred Propaganda and the War in Yugoslavia refers to him as "Friar Satan". Even Fred Singleton's 1976 generalist history 20th Century Yugoslavia p. 197 mentions that he was a member of the order. In fact, there would be very few sources that would not mention his status as a Franciscan. The fact that St Francis promoted gentleness and kindness makes Filipović's status as a Franciscan monk all the more notable when combined with his sadism and cruelty.

replies: text: It is counter to the status of a friar and a chaplain, as the latter is a protected category in the Geneva Convention. IMHO, it should be stated in the article, but not stated in the lead sentence. Should it be summarized in the lead section as there would be significant content in the body of the article, yes per WP:LEAD. But IMHO it need not be in the lead sentence.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:46, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Let me just note that WP:SOLDIER is relevant for a person's notability, and not the scope of the intro section, as the intro may legitimately include info about things the person in question is not notable for. GregorB (talk) 08:48, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

text: NOPE. In the body of the article, yes. In the lead sentence, no.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 03:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I was confused between the first sentence of the lead section, and anywhere in the lead section. You are saying it should not be mentioned in the lead section? Thanks, Peacemaker67  (crack... thump) 03:57, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment. I think his role as a military chaplain and Catholic friar should be mentioned in the lead. His expulsion from the Franciscan order should only be mentioned if its reason is also mentioned. Likewise, if we know why he was not excommunicated, we can mention the lack of his excommunication, if it is a fact that distinguishes him from other war criminals.
