List of stakes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

per WP:NOTDIRECTORY - this is a directory of all LDS "stakes" (which seems roughly equivalent to Catholic parishes). power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 05:29, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

 * This article was created in 2009. Why are we discussing it now? Rathfelder (talk) 09:54, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOTDIRECTORY WP:NOTLINKFARM and not even the least bit encyclopedic. Ajf773 (talk) 10:29, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete but only this Wikipedia article. Granted, WP:NOTDIRECTORY WP:NOTLINKFARM but instead of the list being outright deleted from Wikimedia, why not consider other alternatives (sister projects for instance)? Ernestogon (talk) 22:43, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep stakes of the Church are major institutions within the Church and key to how it operates institutionally. Deletion of this list would destroy a very useful and insightful article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:40, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per Ajf773 Spiderone  09:38, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as a valid encyclopedia topic of use for religious research, no valid reason for deletion except WP :IDONTLIKEIT Atlantic306 (talk) 20:08, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a directory and this entry is not encyclopedic. Citrivescence (talk) 05:48, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article is valid encyclopedic topic of use for religious research. The problem is that it is very extensive and should be divided by continents.  Irwin  talk2me  23:48, 23 December 2018 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirito (talk • contribs)
 * Delete – After several source searches, the topic does not meet WP:LISTN, as it has not been discussed as a set or group in reliable sources that provide significant coverage about the topic. Also qualifies for deletion per WP:NOTDIRECTORY, as Wikipedia is not intended to be a directory of non-notable geographical groupings of an organization.

 * Delete as violation of policy. Wikipedia is not meant to be a backup site or database clone of the LDS church directory, and WP:NOTDIRECTORY clearly says that Wikipedia is not for lists of (e.g.) "offices", "store locations", "subdivisions", etc. Readers can find this information at the LDS church site through Google, even without the dozens of external links in this article.
