Fails WP:NLIST. Most of the scholars in the list are redlinked, and Augustine is such a big name that I'm not convinced this list really adds much value. Searching "List of scholars of" returns no other Church Father afforded this treatment. Category:Augustine scholars provides a suitable navigational function for readers interested in scholars notable enough to justify standalone articles, while this article encourages WP:OR and WP:PROMO.

  • I'm confused by the statement that Augustine is such a big name that I'm not convinced this list really adds much value. Would a list make more sense for more obscure scholars? Surely it is Augustine's bigness that would justify the list? This list could be reworkd into an Augustinian studies article. Srnec (talk) 14:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's rather that I think the list will perpetually be incomplete. You can expect many Christian theologians to have at one time or another written on or extensively studied Augustine. Augustianian studies would be an improvement, but I wonder if it's superfluous to the articles documented in the series Template:Augustinianism IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 17:18, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
