Births and deaths

As with other dates, I have been removing entries for people who have few or no articles in other language wikipedias and thus not internationally well known. This makes the section more manageable. Where possible, those that have been removed have been transferred to the relevant Year in Topic articles. See Days of Year Project talk pages, where discussion is taking place as to how best to separate births and deaths sections from these articles. Deb (talk) 18:45, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pratulin martyrs

The wiki article linked to says they are venerated by the "Catholic Church, Eastern Catholic Churches". Is there a reason here to limit it to "Greek Catholic Church"? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Saturday of Souls"

There is nothing about "57 days" in the article on Saturday of Souls - that is original research. It is the Saturday before Meatfare Sunday. --2607:FEA8:FF01:4A86:71DC:BB8B:1121:AA64 (talk) 23:55, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add the following (source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Mandl):

1948 - Auschwitz II-Birkenau womens camp commander Maria Mandl was executed by hanging at Montelupich prison in Krakow, Poland. Kenneth Valbjørn Rasmussen (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have another source for this? The citation on her page doesn't include the date, and is also from a generally unreliable source. Jamedeus (talk) 00:07, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Re-open after this is discussed Geardona (talk to me?) 03:20, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
