Too promotional & despite the number of links unsourced[edit]

I count 9 uses of the word unique, most uncited. A quickly found random example of the promotional tone is "The Naumburg Master achieved a degree of dramatic expressiveness and natural vibrancy that conveys in enormous intensity and without comparison in the earlier medieval visual works of art the suffering of Christ and the deep grief of Mary and St. John". Or "The Zscheiplitz Monastery was a means to reflect and strengthen Christianity in the region." I'm sorry, but I don't see how this is encyclopedic. That's just one of the roles of all monasteries. It's like saying a church was built as a place to worship God. "This vineyard is still recognized in Germany as a prime example of terraced winegrowing by way of hoe-farming as a true monument of this traditional form of cultivation." - the whole section is uncited and should be removed unless it can be sourced. "The ensemble of Cistercian monuments impressively attests to the order’s life and work and embodies the significant influence exerted in the wider Saale- Unstrut region and far beyond the boundaries of the region." Again, just promotional. Suitable for a tourist guide but not an encyclopedia.

The article represents a lot of hard work and I wouldn't want to denigrate that. But it still needs a lot of work to make it an article meeting our criteria. Doug Weller talk 12:36, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should a lot of this material not rather be integrated into the relevant articles?[edit]

IMO many sections (e.g. the one on Naumburg Cathedral) are way too detailed for the purpose of this article. The material in question should definitely be moved to the page Naumburg Cathedral. The same applies to Neuenburg Castle (Freyburg). As for Pforta, all this stuff was actually added (by the same editor I think) to the page Pforta monastery...which itself may be duplicating info at Pforta.Drow69 (talk) 15:11, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Content fork with useful material[edit]

Please see Talk:Naumburg Cathedral and the High Medieval Cultural Landscape of the Rivers Saale and Unstrut/Naumburg (old city and cathedral). Someone wrote another article on this same subject, and deleting it is rather a shame when a quick glance makes it seem that it has useful content that might be merged here. Please merge any useful content from there to here, complying with WP:CWW of course. Nyttend (talk) 23:53, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyttend: I am unable to access the page- that shows a redlink? jcc (tea and biscuits) 19:42, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted because someone misunderstood it — the tagger thought that it was the talk page of the nonexistent article Naumburg Cathedral and the High Medieval Cultural Landscape of the Rivers Saale and Unstrut/Naumburg (old city and cathedral), not a subpage of this page. We use subpages in talkspace all the time, regardless of the existence of an article with the corresponding title; nobody's knowingly going to say that the lack of an article entitled United States/Archive 10 means that we need to delete Talk:United States/Archive 10, for example. Note my knowingly; this was clearly an accident. Nyttend (talk) 03:39, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
