Congregations of the Northern Illinois District – LCMS

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a directory. This also fails LISTN as no secondary sources discuss the congregations of the LCMS NID as a set. schetm (talk) 01:31, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge (without the list) to Northern Illinois District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. The section of the article after the list has significant information of the district, which looks to me as if it is the equivalent of a diocese in other denominations.

 * Delete since the list doesn't even have a source, and a brief look at https://www.lcms.org/ doesn't show an easy way to filter by district either. If this were a stable list, with sources, maybe it could be merged into Northern Illinois District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, but it has no source and I don't know how often congregations are staring or ending in this denomination, so it might be a constantly-outdated topic.  (I suspect it's one of the more stable denominations, but even the more-stable denominations are less stable than they used to be.)  Unless there is evidence that the set of congregations is highly stable, it becomes a WP:NOTDIR problem, and isn't worth merging. --Closeapple (talk) 05:13, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant coverage and nothing that shows notability. A redirect might be OK but the suggested target also doesn't have independent coverage or notability.Sandals1 (talk) 15:21, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
