List of BSA Order of the Arrow (OA) lodges in Illinois
Hardly seems notable, no context is given, and nothing in the list links anywhere. Not sure if lists can be speedied, so I sent it here. - Bootstoots 23:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC) Keep per Ezeu. (At least give it a couple weeks to see what happens with them. It could be useful.  If the project is abandoned, delete away.-Jaysus Chris) - Jaysus Chris 23:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC) Keep. Once the list is generated, the corresponding entries could be of great use to the rest of the Wikipedia for the significance of a lodge name as to a particular geographical area. For example, the name of my OA lodge in Indiana is Jaccos Towne, given to us by the Wea people, and the totem would be the river otter. Prior to that, though, there were two other lodges that merged into Jaccos Towne with even more history attached to the area. Perhaps an explanation of a lodge at the main list entry would help matters. KC9CQJ 17:04, 23 January 2006 (UTC) If nobody thinks this info is notable or of use to anyone, then by all means it should not waste space. However, I am sure there are more than a handful of people from Illinois who have some sort of tie to the OA lodges and wish to expand this list. The end goal should be to have someone with knowledge of each lodge create sepearate articles, such that this list is a springboard to a vast amount of information. Of course, this will take collaborating and help, but I am all for keep it. ahill7 15:30, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Apparently, a whole lot of them are going to be added (See here). The lists look like the work of an enthusiastic newbie. Keep, wikify and contextualize . Delete and categorize. See also ongoing AfD here--Ezeu 02:43, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Severe delete as a list that is unlikely to be of interest to anybody other than a very small group of dedicated supporters, i.e. listcruft. Stifle 01:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable listcruft. Ifnord 02:50, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Can't think of a good reason to delete this.  May ultimately be merged. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 08:34, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
