List of free churches in Germany by dialect area of seat
list is just taking up space. also it doesn't make much sense to list churches based upon dialect area. Abstrakt 18:07, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment In Germany, as in China or India, I believe that it does make sense to order churches in this manner, due to the dialectical nature of the nation. I do not have an opinion, however, on it's wiki-worthiness. CastAStone 18:25, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Makes sense to me, CastAStone, and I think, like you being unsure, that the default is to keep. Xoloz 05:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I must admit that the by seat part escaped my notice until Angr's comments. That stipulation does make this list absurd. Xoloz 11:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It seems important to me. Carioca 06:27, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, this "information" is completely useless. Most of these churches have a nationwide presence anyway, and most Germans avoid using their local dialect in formal situtations like going to church. The local dialect of the town where the church happens to be headquartered is utterly irrelevant. And above all, the two concepts brought together on this page have nothing to do with each other! We might as well have a List of supermarket chains in Germany by average annual rainfall of corporate headquarters. --Angr/undefined 06:57, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Question. Angr, has the avoidance of using local dialect at church always been the case?  If not, this arrangement might be of use to someone doing historical research.  The reason I ask is that I know there is at least one Church in Illinois where services are conducted in some obscure German dialect, presumably a carryover from when the church founders came over from Germany in the 19th century.
 * Probably not, but this information would not be of use to anyone doing such research, because it's based solely on where the church today happens to have its seat. --Angr/undefined 07:56, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per the arguments of Angr. --G Rutter 10:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per the arguments of Angr. My point exactly. - Abstrakt 20:28, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
