• These six categories should be put on hold pending further discussion at WP:CFD after User:Peterkingiron's comment that the Church of Ireland was established around 1870. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:08, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
• @Marcocapelle: That claim is absurd. What existed prior to 1870? It was created at the Irish Reformation. Or by Saint Patrick if you prefer the continuity argument. Do these need to go to full CFD? Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:08, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• Relisting this batch after the CfD discussion was closed as merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:28, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose these Irish Anglican renamings. The two concepts are heavily overlapped, but distinct. "Irish Anglican priests" refers to people of Irish nationality who were priests in one of the Anglican denominations. OTOH "Church of Ireland clergy" refers to people of any nationality who served as priests in one Anglican demomination, viz the COI.
  The 2 March CFD was a bad decision which missed that core distinction of scope. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:09, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

• I withdraw these. Rathfelder (talk) 15:47, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
