Comment: The newly added sources mostly appear to be PR pieces (they are heavily promotional, and they were published just ahead of the draft's April 24 resubmission). Helpful Raccoon (talk) 05:27, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: The subject meets WP:GNG through diverse, independent, and reliable secondary sources. The project's encyclopedic value and relevance are verified by multiple recognized organizations, media outlets, and institutions:* Independent Media & Portals: Covered and analyzed by cultural and news outlets such as El Observador de la Actualidad, Jóvenes Católicos, Portalnews, and DeVuego.* Educational & Academic Frameworks: Reviewed and integrated as an Open Educational Resource (OER) by Religion Teachers and some schools publicy, and maintained in active collaboration with Primeros Cristianos.* Mainstream Press Citation: Utilized as a reference source for doctrinal content by mainstream media like El Nacional.* Academic Indexing: The project's data architecture is formally indexed in Zenodo (with an official DOI) and has an ISSN from BNE.* Ecclesiastical Recognition: Validated and interconnected via Curso Católico.This collective institutional coverage demonstrates significant third-party attention well beyond routine or primary self-disclosure.

- Comment: I have addressed the concerns regarding notability and sourcing. I have removed the unreliable sources and added new independent, secondary sources to establish clear notability per WP:ORG. The draft now relies on verifiable, third-party information. ~2026-27928-83 (talk) 07:48, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Kindly do not remove AFC logging information. If it says "do not remove this line", then it means what is says. ChrysGalley (talk) 20:02, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: This is going to need some better sources. Essentially there are 2 sources here that can fall into notability discussions, Jóvenes Católicos and San Andrés. The other sources are either in passing or closely related to the subject. San Andrés does not appear to be a reliable source, it looks like an advertising scrape site and has only a few pages. JC is arguably not independent, but there would still need to be more sourcing for notability than just JC. ChrysGalley (talk) 20:01, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Wikitólica is a Spanish-language online encyclopedia focused on the Catholic Church. Its scope includes Catholic doctrine, Church history, liturgy, hagiography, biblical studies, and papal history.
Overview
The encyclopedia is accessible through its website and via mobile and desktop applications for Android and Windows.
According to the site's editorial policy, articles are reviewed by a committee of catechists and academics before publication. Many entries draw on the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia as a foundational source.[1] As of 2026, the encyclopedia contains approximately 4,000 articles covering topics such as Marian devotions, saints, popes, and ecclesiastical history.[2]
In the field of digital preservation, the project integrated open data policies. In 2026, Wikitólica implemented an indexing system based on semantic standards to facilitate interoperability with other digital libraries.[3] Its content has been integrated into Open Educational Resources (OER) platforms for use in educational institutions in Spain, free of charge and under open licenses.[4]
History
Wikitólica was launched in October 2025 as a reference resource for Spanish-speaking Catholics.[5] It forms part of a broader Catholic digital education network that includes the training platform Curso Católico and the educational video game Custodio Animae.[6][7]
In March 2026, Wikitólica published an open dataset in JSON-LD format containing a knowledge graph of all encyclopedia records, following a model similar to Wikidata. The dataset was archived on Zenodo with a DOI and made accessible through standard data repositories.[3]
In April 2026, the project launched a network of embeddable web widgets powered by the same dataset, enabling third-party Catholic websites to display encyclopedia content.[8]
Reception
The launch of Wikitólica received coverage in Catholic[5] and cultural [2] [9] oriented media outlets. The encyclopedia has been cited as a reference resource in religious education contexts.[10][11]
