 * Keep - List of YWAM bases is not a list of external links but a list of YWAM bases. The external links are only listed where available, and are not the point of the list. --Davidkazuhiro 13:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * OK I see the point you all have. Deletion seems like a reasonable action. If this is done however, consensus will have to be made as to what YWAM base external links are appropriate on the main YWAM article. People tend to add YWAM base links to the external links section until it looks too large and an editor removes them. That's one of the big reasons I made this list. If we simply delete the list we'll have the same problem again of people contiually adding base links and editors having no consensus on what's appropriate and what should be left to the YWAM directory. --Davidkazuhiro 18:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * David, what I would suggest is locating a link on the YWAM home page that has a list of all the bases - and just link to that from the main YWAM article. Placing on the talk page an explanation for this should at least answer questions. --Dennisthe2 23:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Dennis for formatting my cluttered posts. It's the first time one of the articles I created became an AFD so I wasn't sure if I was allowed to vote. I've gone ahead and done what you suggested. --Davidkazuhiro 03:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - being an incomplete list of external links isn't that much better. There is no encyclopedic content whatsoever but the list, and no indication that there ever will be. Unsourced, too. In short, fails WP:LIST. Huon 18:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Merge - merge because it's better served in the article, but weak because I think the YWAM home page itself has a more complete list. --Dennisthe2 19:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this can safely be left to the YWAM webmasters. Guy (Help!) 19:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * With some reluctance, Delete. WP is not the place for a list of links to external websites for a particular organisation, even one as notable as Youth With a Mission.  The main YWAM website contains an adequate search facility for identifying websites for their bases; where there is a base without a website, there is little point in merely providing a placename in a list.  The list is anyway libale to become obsolete.  Peterkingiron 23:44, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
