People and culture of Illinois

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Page is a content fork. In its current state, it includes only demographic information that is also available at Illinois. The article was proposed for deletion on 17 June 2009, but a Rescue template was added on 18 June 2009. At that time, the article contained unreferenced statements to the effect that Chicago "has a very metropolitan culture" while the rest of the state "is very rural... revolves around the churches... and often keep to themselves". This content was removed by the original PRODer on 20 June. This namespace is unlike to be a search term for Illinois. —Cnilep (talk) 17:37, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - a sub-article of Illinois on the template therefore. Encyclopedic, and can be verified and sourced. Bearian (talk) 18:04, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Information already covered in Illinois, article itself seems mostly abandoned. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 18:13, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

*Merge to Illinois  The racial makeup information is already there, but the religion subsection could accommodate the additional info. I see no need to do a spinout called "People and culture of" for any state, province, county, etc. Mandsford (talk) 13:16, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

 * By "the additional info" do you mean the percentages of religious denominations? This information is at Illinois in the chart titled Religious affiliation. Oh, on closer examination, I do see one bit of extra information at People and culture of Illinois - the specific breakdown of Judaism, Hindu, and Islam, which Illinois collapses into "other religions". I agree that this bit of information should be merged, but don't think it necessary to change People and culture of Illinois to a "redirect from merge". Is there other non-duplicate information I'm not seeing? Cnilep (talk)
 * Note that I have updated the Religious affiliation chart at Illinois using information from the American Religious Identification Survey. These figures differ very slightly from the figures at People and culture of Illinois, which does not include an explicit citation. Cnilep (talk) 18:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Now that the information has been transferred over, we can delete this article Mandsford (talk) 21:11, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
