List of Churches in Port Harcourt

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - per nom. I saw the AfD nomination coming though. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 22:09, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. There don't seem to be enough articles on notable churches in Nigeria to merit splitting below the national level; see List of churches in Nigeria. Page could be redirected there. postdlf (talk) 23:22, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge. Postdlf has a good point, but merging partly to List of churches in Nigeria, would be better than "Redirect", because there is content (a number of Port Harcourt churches) that is not included in that list-article.  Also the content might be used to create or expand "Nigeria" sections in existing lists of churches by denomination (i.e. the lists listed in Template:Lists of religious worship places), so some material could be merged to those.  For some reason there are not a lot of lists of churches by geographic areas in Wikipedia, or at least I notice there is no List of churches in the United States (currently a redlink), though there are U.S. sections in the lists by denomination.  If some of the Port Harcourt churches or other Nigeria churches belong to a denomination whose notable churches are not yet listed, then create a list (or move this one) for that denomination (and ping me to come help develop it).  By the way, this seems to be a list of Christian churches.  Does the word "church" refer only to Christian churches? -- do  ncr  am  01:34, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Rename and Repurpose to List of Churches in Rivers State. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa.  The south is largely Christian; the north largely Muslim, but with conflict between ethnic groups respectively belonging to each religion.  A single list of (notable) churches for the whole country will be unwieldy, but the first split should be by state, not city.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:09, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
