message: ===Important: English Usage- BrE===
In overhauling the article, I have attempted to use British English consistently in the article, (except for the Infobox), since according to Wikipedia Rules, either BrE or AmE can be used, but the style must be consistent within an article. Thus, when you make any modifications, if you find that I have inadvertently used American English usage anywhere, please change it to BrE. Thank you.

message: I know it says the article is long, but this is mainly due to the source citations, (which I included since the article had previously been disputed). The article in itself is not that long. I verified this by copying the article (without the footnote citations) into my personal sandbox and then hitting the "Show Preview" button. I did not get any length warnings at all, whereas with the citations, I did get a length warning. (Which means the article without the citations was less than 32 kilobytes long.) You can try it out for yourself and verify what I have said. Also, the only Wikiproject Saints article to become a Featured Article, Joan of Arc, is 57 kilobytes long.
P.S. At first glance, the Pope Pius XI image may not seem relevant to those not familiar with Dominic Savio, but I placed it there (next to the section that describes incidents in Dominic Savio's life that reveal his personality) since he is a famous person who made a famous comment ("small in size, but a towering giant in spirit.") on the personality of Dominic Savio, and that comment appears frequently in writings on St. Dominic Savio.
P.P.S. As you might have guessed, I was named after this Saint, and thus have a special affinity towards him.  However, I have sincerely attempted to maintain objectivity while writing the article, as merits an encyclopedia entry.
Yours,

thread_title: File:SavioSztDomonkos.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: The introductory section of this article includes the following two sentences:
"Despite the fact that many people considered him to have died at too young an age – fourteen – to be considered for sainthood, he was considered eligible for such singular honour on the basis of his having displayed "heroic virtue" in his everyday life.[8] He is the only saint of his age group, which includes Maria Goretti (age 11) and Ponticus of Lyons (age 15),[9] who was declared to be a saint not on the basis of his having been a martyr, but on the basis of having lived what was seen as a holy life."
The point seems to be that it's unusual for such a young person to be canonized as a saint, but that he is not the only example. However, I think the second sentence is missing a "not", and should be rewritten. I think it should read:
"He is not the only saint of his age group, which includes Maria Goretti..."
Please let me know if I'm wrong, and revert the change if so. Thanks!

replies: text: Ah, I missed that you had left this note.  I think you misread the sentence, by stopping too soon.  It doesn't say he's the only saint of his age group.  It says he's the only one not canonized because of martyrdom.  I have removed the "not". --Trovatore (talk) 08:05, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. I've removed the examples and tightened the sentence a bit. Graham87 07:50, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Says in the article, that he is the only person of his age group to be declared a Saint, not on the basis of being a martyr, but, on the basis of having lived what was seen as living a holy life. That might change soon. Very recently the Church just beatified a teenager who died on the 21'St Century, who also lived a life that was considered Holy in the eyes of the Church.
