 * Delete. No indication of notability. Wikipedia is not a publisher of family history or nonnotable local church histories. --Orlady (talk) 21:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Orlady. Furthermore, this appears to have been copied directly from an inadequately identified source. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:51, 6 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Pretty indiscriminate list, and no notability to boot. Dennis Brown (talk) 23:06, 6 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment This is not a family history list ??? There are tons of Lists Of things on Wikipedia? It is not indiscriminate it is Chronological and containss all of the Circuit Preachers associated with each church, listing all of the Baptist churches in and around Clay County Alabama. It is relevent for any church historian researching alabama history. It was retyped from a published church and minister's history as he was the recording secretary for the local Baptist Church association. Who are you to say what is not notable. Are you a historian?

 * At Wikipedia, notability is defined by WP:Notability. --Orlady (talk) 15:43, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep with apology I put up the wrong List, i replaced this with the correct one. Apology. The church listing is not up yet with a proper label. I noted there is already a List of Baptist Churches so mine is more local to Clay County. WayneRay (talk) 22:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * On the original list, if someone was interested, they could see the chronological history of who was the preacher at each church. Now, however, there is just an alphabetical list of the preachers with their years of service, and no indication of which church each one was associated with. Thus, it's not clear to me how the current version is more helpful to those studying church history than the original one was. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:34, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * As with Metropolitan90, the new list does not cause me to change my !vote. It looks even more like an indiscriminate list on a nonnotable topic. --Orlady (talk) 15:43, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The fact that you could put up the wrong list and no one even noticed strengthens the argument that the list is not notable, and certainly difficult if not impossible to verify. Dennis Brown (talk) 22:30, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete -- lists should indicate the notability of their members, if only by linking to existing articles that establish notability. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:31, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

NOTE sorry for the confusion and when I am am back online I will put the other one back up under the correct title. Delete this one if you like. You are correct. WayneRay (talk) 18:09, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
