Talk:List of churches

As it stands, this article doesn't serve any valid purpose, other than to arbitrarily list churches in the world. Granted Adherents.com suggests that about 78% of the world can be classified into organized world religions, the potential number of physical churches is astounding.

The other lists involved could serve encyclopedic purposes such as identifying churches of historical significance, but as this list stands, it doesn't serve any such purpose. I think the authors of this list would be better served by things such as List of megachurches or List of churches in Tulsa, Oklahoma. --Avery W. Krouse 13:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Recreation
This main namespace page was recreated as a redirect to List of tallest churches in the world, which makes little sense. I've restored the talk page so people can at least see why the former article was deleted.

I guess it should formally go through either deletion review or AfD (depending on whether we want to keep it or not) but maybe that's not necessary. The thing is, the proposed deletion process wasn't adequate for this case in hindsight, the article has been recreated and this is likely to happen again if it's just speedy deleted.

The redirect as recreated made little sense IMO. The current redirect to church (disambiguation) was the best I could think of on the spot, as church just redirects to the disambig. Andrewa (talk) 01:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
