On 26 August 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to List of Orthodox Christians. The result of the discussion was not moved. |
Pavlov - my understanding is that he was Orthodox and tried to protect other Christians during the Bolshevik regime.

Jim Londos (famous Greek-American professional westler of the early 20th century) I can personally vouch for his Orthodoxy, he baptized someone at my church.

Pyros Dimas (olympic weighlifter)
Nikos Gallis (Greek basketball player)
John Stamos?
Pete Sampras?
Mark Philippousis??
How about Mathematicians?? Mathematics is far more respected in Russia and the East of the West, in general, than it is in America, for instance. The Russian mathematicians have always tended to lead the world. Anyway Nikolai Luzin and Dmitri Egorov were profound Orthodox Christians and great luminaries in Moscow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.22.137 ( talk) 05:00, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
John Tavener publicly came out as a Universalist some time ago, and no longer claims Orthodoxy as an influence on his music. I've been unable to determine if he's still officially a communicant in an Orthodox church, but I wonder if he still belongs in a list like this. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:31, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
He should probably still be listed here if he's still an official member of some Orthodox church regardless of his stated beliefs. I was kind of hoping someone else knew for sure.
I'll be moving the article soon, since you don't object. TCC (talk) (contribs) 01:25, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

"Eastern Orthodoxers" isn't really a natural construction in English, is it? I suggest renaming the article to List of Eastern Orthodox Christians, if it's really preferable to, say, Category:Eastern Orthodox Christians. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:31, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
I'm not entirely certain Marina Sirtis is Greek Orthodox, but her wedding and background apparently were according to sources. That's my own doubts, anyone have other doubts on the listed feel free to mention it.-- T. Anthony 04:57, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
I think Tesla became atheist later in life, but I'm okay listing him. I think I'll put Tavener back, but with an explanation. Glad to see someone adding names, I worry I created too many lists. However the categories for Eastern Orthodox Christians, at present, are rather incomplete or are solely about religious leaders.(And sometimes various Russians, but there is Eastern Orthodox Christianity outside Russia)-- T. Anthony 05:19, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
I know some prefer categories to lists, but you can use this list to add some names to the Eastern Orthodox Christian category if you want. Granted if you have strong doubts on some of these names then you shouldn't do that, but I think in some cases there are references. (Or I'll add them if need be)-- T. Anthony 09:56, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm so glad that when a new person showed up they didn't put this on a list. I should probably start annotating many of these, but I've been doing that alot the past few days.-- T. Anthony 07:53, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
This seems to come up enough I guess I'll just deal with it here.
I guess he can be kept in as he pops back up every time I remove him. Tesla's father was after all a Serbian Orthodox priest. Added to that the Tesla Society indicates that faith is strong in claiming him. [1] Finally his funeral was apparently Serbian Orthodox.
All that said here is my problem. There isn't much indication he had anything but a non-member respect for religion at all. In an interview in 1937 Tesla stated some of the following
It seems odd to count someone who disbelieves in the afterlife, small "o" orthodox religion, and theological dogma as an EOC. Still I guess he can fit as "identity."-- T. Anthony 05:28, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
To the person who brought up this issue, most of these football players cross themselves before games so it is evident which are Orthodox (for example, Andriy Shevchenko) MK013 05:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Image:Fannoli.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I replaced it. At some point this list might be needed to be divided up. When I did it the coverage of EOC people was not as good as now.-- T. Anthony 11:02, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov article say "personally, he was an atheist, which for upper-class Russians of that time was not unusual", but he's on this list. -- 200.226.40.205 ( talk) 05:08, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

If Bob Marley was baptized into the Ethiopian Church (which is Oriental Orthodox) - how was he Eastern Orthodox. Same goes with the picture of Tigran Petrosyan on the main page - he was Oriental Orthodox too, which is not the same as Eastern Orthodox — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.54.234.213 ( talk) 21:36, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

List of Eastern Orthodox Christians → List of Orthodox Christians – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. Frietjes ( talk) 23:02, 26 August 2022 (UTC) I beieve we should rename this page List of Orthodox Christians, so the list may include Oriental Orthodox Christians.
