List of the largest churches in Australia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list is full of primary sources, is incapable of being verified to any encyclopaedic standard against secondary sources as most of the churches self-report (and have a vested interest in over-reporting) and are not independently scrutinised to check the numbers they report have any relation with reality, and serves primarily as a promotional vehicle.

 * Delete - what is it with the human race's obsession with enumerating everything for its own sake? Unless there are some reliable and independant data sets to draw on this is only ever going to be a synthesis of original research, dependent data sources and odd battles for in/exclusion - Peripitus (Talk) 22:43, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, largely a rather crass religious penis-comparison contest. WP:OR, WP:SYNTH, etc, as well.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:04, 2 March 2014 (UTC).
 * Delete I agree with the other deletion rationales. --99of9 (talk) 06:44, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
