Source assessment

[edit]

I thought it might be helpful to start a section to list existing sources, both those currently in the article and existing sources that could potential be used, which would help assess GNG. Feel free to add sources as you find them. --FyzixFighter (talk) 16:40, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.
No problem - I had the pdfs in front of me when filling out the table, but it was easy enough in these cases to go back and grab the url. Can't guarantee a url in all cases, especially with some books. I'm planning on going through, assuming IRL fun allows, and adding material from these sources, but also wanted to provide help to anyone else interested in expanding the article who might have more time. Also, as notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article, my hope is to help resolve the notability tag by creating the table. --FyzixFighter (talk) 16:56, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Saints by State BYU resource

[edit]

Hi, I won't attempt to add information from this source because I was paid to help in its development, but Fred Woods (historian) a BYU professor is in the process of creating a Saints by State website for all 50 US states. I'm not sure when it will be up, but [1] here's a link to his last project Saints by Sea. -Jmjosh90 02:56, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
