Targets of Westboro Baptist Church

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

This page merely repeats the offensive statements of the Westboro Baptist Church, a very small group of people who have found a way to get extremely outsized media and public attention. It is not about their "targets." An article about that would be an article about almost all of modern human civilization. Northwestgnome (talk) 19:04, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It's at best pointless to try to list all those the WBC hates, and potentionally harmful, since, as a "branch" article, this will get less attention, and there could be WP:BLP problems. Also, it's hard to give fair and balanced coverage for a person, in a little snippit.  For each "target" we're really only giving one side, the WBC side.    --Rob (talk) 19:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think anyone is going to take the WBC side. :-) Northwestgnome (talk) 19:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete As much news as they get because of their wild accusations, this is a very small group. A list of the "who Westboro hates this week" doesn't seem to be a worthwhile venture for Wikipedia to me.  Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:29, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a bit forky. I'd say merge, but most of the content is already covered properly in Westboro Baptist Church.  We don't need a second, supersize version to understand that they hate the lot of us and we're all going to the bad place, so we are.   Ka renjc 21:31, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment "God Hates Articles Like These", maybe? Add anything new to Westboro Baptist Church.  Mandsford (talk) 02:35, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Canada is on the list, but Wikkidpedia isn't? Somebody is slacking off here! Clarityfiend (talk) 03:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This 'church' seems to pretty much hate everyone, living or dead. We don't have that much space to list all their hates. The universe doesn't have that much space to list all their hates. Half  Shadow  21:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Pointless article. Any notable and useful information can be merged into the main article.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 11:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
