Talk:List of saints

message: There are numerous saints on this list from before 450. Either they should be removed, or the table should be opened to all saints, not just those since 450. I favour the latter option as this would mean a large number of saints recognised by all groups would be included and Wiki, as a source of information, ought to include such a list.
:I think this is a good idea. This list already contains so many saints that predate 450 AD, that it makes sense to merge List of early Christian saints with this article. Magicmq (talk) 01:08, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: So little information is currently available about pre-450 Saints; merging would involve a table with a lot of blanks that could not be filled.  Meanwhile, my question is, are the relative dates based on birth, death, or canonization? 71.30.203.25 (talk) 02:22, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

message: I think this article should be split into multiple articles... for instance List of Saints in the Catholic Church... also created an article for Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, and Lutheran. Shark96z (talk) 13:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe it could work as a page for saints of only of the Catholic Church-- and one for folks held to be saints by more than one church. Otherwise this would create a need for a lot of multiple updates. How would we correct and update them together?  20:13, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, and that would probably work. Definitely the Catholics, but should the blesseds and etc be included? If the saints of those four sects are wikiworthy, what about every other sect that has saints? --15lsoucy (talk) 03:32, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Never mind. This article is Saints since 450 CE -- I didn't realize that. Geĸrίtzl (talk) 23:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The tables are sortable. The alpha sections make it impossible to quickly find the latest saint, group all the Anglican, Roman Catholic etc. I would like to remove the section headings and make it into one big table. Objections? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:20, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove the section headings A B C D etc. 

message: In this example edit, the number before the decimal represents the century and the number after the decimal represents the month and day. This should sort it correctly. This needs to be done for all items that are other than a simple year.
*April 15, 1852 -->  
*January 28, 1908 -->  
*October 5, 2003 -->  
The reason that this sorting method may be better than column heading sorting is because of the large variety of date presentations. If someone has a better plan, please say. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sorting the table 

message: Long-standing discussion at Talk:List of canonizations#Example from beginning was to merge List of canonizations to here; sounds like an effective way of managing this as the sortable table here will allow a listing by date of canonization, which is the core function that the other list provides.

message: Claudia Procula, wife of Pontius Pilatus, as follows:
Saint Claudia, Pontius Pilate's wife >> DOB: circa 0 BC >> Died: 1st century AD >> Canon.: not cited >> Venerated by The Eastern Orthodox and The Eastern Catholics
(of which note, the latter is not correctly represented since their teachings differ greatly from Roman Catholisism)
