Keep This article is about a notable phrase/idiom from medieval times, not about a news event, so WP:NOTNEWS does not apply. FireflySixtySeven (talk) 16:37, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But the only reason this quote is notable is because of the recent event, so I would argue NOTNEWS does apply in this case. SkyWarrior 16:38, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That is not true. There are thousands of hits if you search google books for "meddlesome priest"/"turbulent priest", and here are some non-Comey newspaper articles mentioning the phrase - The New York Times, The Times of Sicily, The Telegraph.

Fair enough, withdrawing nomination. SkyWarrior 17:57, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
keep this phrase is notable independently of Comey/Trump and has been notable for close to 1000 years. It is laughable that someone has posted NOTNEWs regarding a 100-year old phrase that all people of cultivation, taste, and learning should know. We are here as educators, not as janitors cleaning up after His Majesty Donald Trump's unseemly messes. What is this insufferable urge to scrub wikipedia clean of everything tjat makes Teump look bad(i.e everuthing he either does or says)?
