List of countries with KFC restaurants

As much as I love Colonel Sanders I do not love this list. It is about as arbitrary as it gets. the_undertow talk  18:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory. -- Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor  ( ταlκ )  18:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above. Not really much more to say than that. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 18:28, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Even as a directory I don't see a purpose for it. What use does this provide me unless I am a world traveling person who is obsessed with KFC and needs a checklist? NobutoraTakeda 18:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC) This user has been banned and !vote has been stricken.
 * Are you? the_undertow talk  19:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I wish! NobutoraTakeda 19:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete There's no need for a separate entry on this UntilMoraleImproves 18:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Listcruft at its finest. :) Shalom Hello 18:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I originally split it to de-cruft the KFC article anyway. Chris Cunningham 19:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not encyclopedic and bad precedent to keep it: we'll have these lists for every business. Carlossuarez46 20:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is something that is better handled by Kentucky Fried Chicken's website. -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 20:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, obviously. It blows my mind that anyone would put so much work into something so pointless. However, I did learn from this fine example of listicruft that there's no KFC here in Belgium. Yay! :) --Targeman 20:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Borderline content fork ... could better be served with a graph in the KFC article of how many countries are served by the Colonel. Blueboy96 20:51, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as useless directory of info that can be integrated with the main KFC articleJForget 22:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's a useless article, be it directory or not. Can be covered on main article in one sentence. --Haemo 00:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into the article about KFC or Yum Brands for that matter. It's a mistake to make this a separate article, but author has helped document the worldwide growth of the artery-plugging cuisine that originated in Corbin, Kentucky and helps make the world more obese.  Note to author: I think you're gonna lose this one, with 13 straight delete votes... save hard work to hard drive, grin and bear it, then treat yourself to the buffet.

 * Reformat and Merge - could be placed in the KFC article with less cruft and more usefulness. Perhaps a historical time line of when KFC restaurants opened in these countries would be better? Nicko (Talk•Contribs) 04:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge I agree with the opinions listed above stating that there is no need for a separate article.  However, take into consideration that this list could easily be integrated into the main KFC article.  There are other fast-food related articles at Wikipedia where the countries with locations are listed.  At the very least, that info should remain. Toni S. 11:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment: Several people are still suggesting a re-merge. if it were worth bloating up the KFC article with listcruft it wouldn't have been split in the first place. All that the main article needs is a link to a reputable external source with a list of countries. Chris Cunningham 12:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty much in agreement with you. Merging has a way of bloating the article, which then breaks off into its own, and ends up back here. It's sort of a perpetual thing. As Dennis said, the KFC website provides this information. the_undertow talk 19:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the closest reputable source, KFC.com, is not as detailed as this list since that site's Global section is missing location information for the entire Middle East as well as portions of Latin/South America. Official KFC Global Location listings Toni S. 09:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * So it's also Original Research then?? &mdash;gorgan_almighty 13:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * keep maybe merge. Non-directory style information. --W.marsh 19:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete just about every country with a few exceptions (the countries which the US has no diplomatic relations with) would be on the list. At best, it should be moved to List of countries that have diplomatic relations with the United States-- Sef rin gle Talk 20:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ??? --Targeman 20:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah I thought it was just me ;) the_undertow talk  21:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as totally useless listcruft. Let it fry.  Burntsauce 17:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
