Unlike theRoman Catholic Church, for example, there is no singular Anglican church.
As a quick background, the variousAnglican churches around the world find their origin in theChurch of England (with the exception of theChurch of Ireland technically). ThroughBritish imperialism, Anglicanism spread throughout the world and the Church of England would come to give complete independence – orautocephaly, inecclesiological terms – to many of these churches. Later on, in the late 19th century, these churches came together to form theAnglican Communion, a sort of association of all of these autocephalous churches. Positions taken bythe communion's instruments of unity influenced and continue to influence the churches of the communion, but even at its strongest, the communion can only exert soft diplomatic power.
Since the formation of the communion, there have been a number ofschisms (or splinters) from the communion's churches. Most notable are theAnglican Church in North America, formed in 2009 from the merger of a number of churches which had schismed mostly in the late 20th or early 21st century, as well as the multitude ofContinuing Anglican churches, formed mostly in the mid- to late 20th century, and numerous others. While not part of the Anglican Communion, these churches both self-identify as Anglican and are generally regarded as such by other Anglicans (both within and without the communion) and the relevant scholarship.
Tl;dr: This is all to say that it is inappropriate for "Anglican Church" and "Anglican church" to redirect to "Anglican Communion" given that (1) the Anglican Communion is not an individual church and (2) there are numerous Anglican churches outside of the Anglican Communion which are frequently described as "Anglican churches". Rather,the pages should redirect to "Anglicanism", the article about the ecclesiastical and theological tradition they all share. This would be in line with what is done for other Protestant denominations (see, e.g., "Methodist church", "Presbyterian church", "Lutheran church", "Baptist church", "Pentecostal church").142.160.89.97 (talk)00:15, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, though of courseThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a church, whereas the Anglican Communion is not. Rather, it is a communionof churches.142.160.89.97 (talk)02:39, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Wbm1058: That will sometimes be the case in Australia and Canada (I'm in Canada myself), but in the US, they're at least as likely to be looking for theAnglican Church in North America, given that the wordAnglican is (confusingly) not in the name of theEpiscopal Church. Unfortunately, a false distinction betweenAnglican andEpiscopal – two synonymous terms – is rapidly becoming part of the American lexicon since the formation of the ACNA, which makes it all the more likely that users searching "Anglican Church" in the US will be looking for the ACNA.
- And outside of the US, it is just as likely that they are under the popular misconception that there is a singular Anglican church in the world (as opposed to the reality that there are a multitude, many of which are part of theAnglican Communion, which is not itself a church, and others of which are not part of the communion at all).
- Additionally, the existing targeting is unique amongst those of the same class in sending readers to a particular communion/association of churches from that tradition. For example, "Methodist church" doesn't redirect toWorld Methodist Council; "Presbyterian church" doesn't redirect toWorld Communion of Reformed Churches; "Lutheran church" doesn't redirect toLutheran World Federation; etc. In all three of those examples, the organization is well-established as the preeminent organization representing churches from their respective tradition.
- As an Anglican within the Anglican Communion who does not believe in schism, I wish I could say that Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion are synonymous, but in 2019, it simply isn't the case.142.160.89.97 (talk)21:27, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you suggest the same with respect to other denominations with a preeminent international body (which is not itself a church) representing churches from that tradition, e.g., "Methodist church" (World Methodist Council), "Presbyterian church" (World Communion of Reformed Churches), "Lutheran church" (Lutheran World Federation)?
- Also, are you referring to theAnglican Communion as a church? Because if so, that simply isn't the case.142.160.89.97 (talk)20:14, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget toAnglicanism (improving visibility of links from that article if necessary), per nom's thoughtful rationale.Shhhnotsoloud (talk)07:53, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Replacing with a disambiguation is a non-starter. There are over 500 links to this title, none via templates, and no obvious alternative contender for primary topic. This is clearly aWP:Broad-concept topic; the only question is what the title of the article discussing the concept should be. While there may be "no singular Anglican church", Wikipedia'sWP:summary style topic structure forces us to have only one article about that "Anglican church", and then it is up to that article to explain why there is "no singular Anglican church". That single article should have clear and obvious, quickly found when scanning the content, links to all the members of the so-called "Anglican Communion", or at least all the Anglican Communion members that call themselves "Anglican Church", including "Anglican Church in [wherever]". Perhaps the problem may be solved bymergingAnglican Communion intoAnglicanism. –wbm1058 (talk)23:25, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- So, as an exercise for purposes of discussion, let's assume that we are trying to disambiguate all the 500+ links to "Anglican Church". I've randomly chosenDavid Leake:
In 1963 he went to [[South America]] where he served the [[Anglican Church|Church]] as a [[Missionary]] eventually rising to the [[Episcopate]].- What specific "Church" did he serve as a Missionary? TheAnglican Church of the Southern Cone of America? If so, then
[[Anglican Church|Church]] is anOVERLINK which should be replaced with simply "Church", where it is assumed and implied that means the previously linkedAnglican Church of the Southern Cone of America. Presumably he serves a specific Church, and not some nonspecific "ism". –wbm1058 (talk)23:44, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Retarget as nominated butnot because of the rather long-winded nomination rationale (which could be waved away with a simple{{R from incorrect name}} tag). Rather, it should be retargeted for consistency with the other religions mentioned in the "Tl;dr" section. --NYKevin07:17, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another dubious redirect created byJIP in 2005. Finnish language word "hyypiö" means "creep" so this is potentially insulting redirect to article about living person. There are some Google hits for this possible misspelling, but it is not used in reliable sources. I suggestdeletion instead of keeping it as plausible but disparaging misspelling.jni (delete)...just not interested13:30, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another joke redirect created byJIP in 2005.Finnish:mahti saari literally means "great island" or "grand island" but since surname is "Ahtisaari" combining it with first name's initial letter like is done here does not make any sense.jni (delete)...just not interested13:23, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Useless joke or vandalism redirect to article about a living person. Created by Wikipedia administratorJIP 14 years ago. Finnish word "harja" means "brush" and such non-neutral, disparaging and odd term is not used in article.jni (delete)...just not interested13:11, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
