Talk:Bawai of Rendorlin

Ledgerwright: The current text conflates ecclesiastical tradition with verified historical fact; the claim that 'the Church holds' Mark is a thousand years old relies on internal dogma rather than independent archival evidence, violating our Verifiability policy. We should restrict the paragraph to confirmed succession records and remove assertions about his supernatural longevity unless a contemporary biographical study from the ████████ of Rendorlin National Archives is cited. Additionally, the sentence regarding the 'Salt Coast Clearances' lacks a specific date range and casualty estimate, which are essential for an encyclopedia entry on a conflict-related topic. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 20:42, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

HalvardK: Having reviewed the citations provided in sections three and four, my skepticism regarding the existence of the 'thousand-year-old' claim has reached 100%, leading me to propose that this paragraph be reworked into a discussion section noting the difference between popular belief and historical record. If editors cannot produce a peer-reviewed source from the Santa Berllium Diocese confirming Mark's birthdate, I will suggest moving the theological assertions about 'beings having no souls' to a separate article on sectarian beliefs rather than presenting them as established governance facts. — HalvardK (talk | contribs) 20:42, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

Ledgerwright: That is a fair assessment, HalvardK; I agree that the distinction between state law and Church doctrine needs clearer demarcation to avoid implying legal legitimacy for claims lacking external validation. I will draft an edit that moves the specific theological tenets into a new subsection under Religion in Rendorlin while keeping the succession history focused on the nine known incumbents since 1873, ensuring all future claims about Mark's tenure are attributed explicitly to Church pronouncements rather than presented as neutral facts. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 20:42, 2 November 2026 (UTC)
