Here are a few of the sources used for the Wiki page.

Lots of Catholic input because he is a Saint.

Thomas Craughwell (2005). “A Patron Saint for Funeral Directors”. Catholicherald.com. Retrieved 14 September 2011.
^ “Joseph of Arimathea”, Glastonbury Abbey
^ Kinnaman, Scott A. (2010). Lutheranism 101. St. Louis, Missouri: Concordia Publishing House. p. 278. ISBN 978-0-7586-2505-2.
^ E.g. Ben Witherington III, John’s Wisdom: A Commentary on the Fourth Gospel, 1995, and Andreas J. Köstenberger in Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, 2007, on John 19:38–42.
^ Jump up to: a b “Joseph of Arimathea”. The Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1910. Retrieved 13 December 2014.
^ John Chrysostom, Homilies of St. John Chrysostom on the Gospel of John.

I don’t blame anyone for taking Wiki with a grain of salt.
But if the references pan out I’m more at ease with the info.

I was raised very strict Roman Catholic so I’m not sure if Catholic references bother anyone........I hope not.

The Wikipedia page YOU quoted, cites a Catholic source (*which you just CLAIMED to be), like this:

Francis Gigot, writing in the Catholic Encyclopedia, states that "the additional details which are found concerning him in the apocryphal Acta Pilati ("Acts of Pilate"), are unworthy of credence."[5]

You're just making up lies as you go along.

None of the Lord’s followers expected the Resurrection despite Jesus’ reference to it. Didn’t see the Bible referenced in Wiki nor by you, not surprising.
