List of conservative evangelical Anglican churches in England

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

1. Fails List Selection Criteria policy. Selection criteria (also known as inclusion criteria or membership criteria) should be unambiguous, objective; but that is not the case here; not least as the definition of "Conservative Evangelical" is disputed: many churches which accept the ministry of women self-define as Conservative Evangelical; many churches which take a complementarian view are nevertheless not under alternative episcopal oversight.

2. Fails Common Selection Criteria policy. Lists are commonly written to satisfy one of the following sets of objective criteria: ...; but this list is none of the common sets, nor any alternative but coherent set.

Summary: Ulitmately the problem is not simply that this is not a list of Conservative Evangelical Anglican churches; it is that no verifiable and coherent encyclopaedic list is possible. The boundaries of the category Conservative Evangelical Anglican churches are simply too disputed to make this list anything but partial, partisan and misleading.

 * Delete -- While some churches may obviously fit, there will be a large number where their status is disputable, so that inclusion may depend on the editor's POV. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:27, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - I would agree with the concerns that as there is no accepted definition of what constitutes a "conservative evangelical" Anglican church that such a list is not possible. Dunarc (talk) 23:54, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a list, I don’t see this passing WP:LISTCRIT. Shawn Teller (talk) 04:44, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
