Association of Churches

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unreferenced & tendentious. More suited to a dictionary Rathfelder (talk) 15:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * And for its entire lifetime, the article has completely failed to explain that this is a concept in U.S. tax law. Uncle G (talk) 20:37, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTDIC. -- Softlavender (talk) 10:55, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. As happens so frequently, my uncle is right., do the Google Book search and add "tax"--you'll see the point my uncle was making. Drmies (talk) 13:31, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I have hijacked the article accordingly. Rathfelder, please have another look--thank you. Drmies (talk) 13:40, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Definitely an improvement. But does it merit an article of its own? Can it not fit into something about US taxation?Rathfelder (talk) 13:43, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't answer that--when I play a lawyer I only do criminal cases. It's more exciting. Drmies (talk) 15:15, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as a result of Drmies' clarification of the article subject, moving it away from a simple dictionary definition. Articlespace is cheap. clpo13(talk) 22:19, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as a simple, efficient springboard to the sources now included, making it simple for someone looking for this type of entity to easily do further research. Trying to fit this concept into Taxation in the United States wouldn't help someone looking for this subject. Similarly, redirecting to an article section such as Income_tax_in_the_United_States would also be unhelpful, as would further expanding that section to encompass this concept. Tax_exemption might get closer as a potential redirect target, but as another editor has pointed out above, article space is cheap. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 18:01, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Whatever, but if you keep it please move from "Association of Churches" to "Association of churches".Anythingyouwant (talk) 09:04, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
