Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Christianity
| Points of interest related to Christianity on Wikipedia: Outline – History – Portal – Category – WikiProject – Alerts – Deletions – Cleanup – Stubs – Assessment – To-do |
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to Christianity. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Christianity|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Christianity. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

The author has acknowledged at WP:AINB#User:ABehjat that they used an LLM to generate the prose in this article. Rather than unilaterally draftify this as a NOLLM violation, I thought given the evident effort in its creation it would be better to let the community decide whether to delete/draftify this as a NOLLM violation or whether to WP:IAR and keep it, as we have done with other LLM generated articles like Shit flow diagram and Malacca dilemma.

I propose merging to Robert M. Price because almost no independent, reliable sources talking about this journal exist.

- I will support this if there are sources giving Darrell J. Doughty greater prominence in relation to the journal. The article as it currently stands and the primary sources it relies on give more prominence to Robert M. Price as the editor-in-chief and publisher of the journal. The secondary source I linked above gives them equal prominence. Antibabelic (talk) 06:27, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

- Comment: the first nomination earlier this year ended in deletion, but this iteration is different enough that a G4 was declined. However, this also was briefly drafitfied (the creator contested this) due to LLM concerns; it looks like the only significant change in content after that came and went was the removal of the overbolding LLMs seem to think are appropriate for Wikipedia.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I propose merging to Apocalyptic literature because they have de facto 100% overlap in scope and there are duplicate lists of books and whatnot. The hatnotes say that Apocalyptic literature covers all religions and Apocalypse covers Judaism and Christianity, but I don't see other religions mentioned. Apocalypse could be a disambiguation page or redirect to Apocalypse (disambiguation). I don't mind expanding to include mention of other religions, but it doesn't seem like we need an additional article to do so, and doing so in one article seems better for NPOV, balance, and high-level context. -- Beland (talk) 19:46, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

- If there is a merge, it should be the opposite direction, "apocalypse" should be the article that is kept. I'd oppose the other direction. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:02, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- I haven't looked in depth at the relevant literature, so there could be some nuance that the sands of time (and Wikipedia editors misunderstanding the article scope) have erased, but yeah from what I can see these are talking about the exact same thing. From what I can see here, I support a reverse merge. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:09, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
KeepReverse Merge- The content of Apocalypse is sparse and not as complete as Apocalypse literature. Though, the direction should be other way around where the literature needs to be merged into Apocalypse. So if there's a merge request for literature to Apocalypse, I'd be happy to nominate merge. ABehjat (talk) 01:30, 24 July 2026 (UTC)- @ABehjat If you !vote "keep" it means you want the articles to remain separate. It sounds like what you actually want is a reverse merge.

Contested WP:BLAR so bringing a proposal to redirect to List of temples (LDS Church). This page is a clear WP:CONTENTFORK of List of temples (LDS Church), with the addition of a couple of columns in the table that could, if editorial consensus allowed, be added to the table at the proposed target. (I personally think the list violates WP:NOTTRIVIA and appears to be a work of original research since I don't see an independent source that compiles all this data in a single place, but inclusion of content on another page is an editorial discussion for that page.) This page, meanwhile, is simply a fork of another similar topic and per WP:NOPAGE should not exist as a standalone page. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:21, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

- Per my response on my talk page:
- This was part of Comparison of temples (LDS Church) before the page got too large to show in full, and the primary trigger to why the page was split. These tables are not new, but the location is. Feel free to let me know if there's a better way to show this information.
- The final table wasn't fully shown on the old page due to memory size issue which is why the page triggered a split, creating this page as a result. That has fixed the issue.
- The content of the tables is nearly 100 percent pulled from a standard template that is used by multiple pages to fill in information. The template content used in infoboxes, tables, and other content across various pages. The content could probably be better referenced within the various temple templates as the content is unable to be individually referenced within the page. The presentation and purpose of the content is not the same in each list.
- List of temples (LDS Church) is limited to only show latest milestones, excluds past rededications, and only allows comparing temples in the same status section, by that status milestone, while this one compares all temples by any milestone. Likewise, it shows limited sortable size characteristics and not other info that the other table in Comparison of temples (LDS Church) provide. List of temples (LDS Church) has a different purpose and was never meant to be a replacement of what these tables provide and vice versa.
- If it needs to remerge, it needs to be remerged into Comparison of temples (LDS Church) and not List of temples (LDS Church). The memory size issue will also need to be addressed before merging. If it needs to be retitled "comparison of temple milestones (LDS church) or if you have any other suggestion, let me know.
- -Thanks. Dmm1169 (talk) 15:51, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- I can't imagine that Comparison of temples (LDS Church) is appropriate as a page either (it seems to be a pile of OR and trivia and to violate WP:NOTDATABASE). Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:00, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- If not a page, what would you suggest? What space outside of mainspace will be most appropriate?
- While not referenced, information is verifiable. However, WP:NOTDATABASE does clarify that even verifiable information does not mean suitable content for Wikipedia. The question is it suitable or notable for wikipedia standards.
- There's pages that compare religious structures size, height, architectural content, etc. The information is pertinent to the architectural aspects and when significant milestones was reached for each structure.
- Even though this page has been on Wikipedia mainspace for about 20 years, used and edited by several users over that time, I do not know of any "grandfather clause" that would allow any page to stay if it's deemed to fall short of the standard. In all that time, there seems to have been no challenge to the notability for this page under any grounds, and it may be more reason for it to be challenged to get a full discussion.
- - Thanks. Dmm1169 (talk) 17:30, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- Discussion in 2009 for the parent page, which is now titled "Comparison of temples (LDS Church)" per WP:CONCISE, had a resulting consensus of Keep. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Per discussion, these two lists were two different types of lists. Merging would effectively make the "list" page a "comparison" page. See Template:LDS Temple/ for different extant lists of temples. - Thanks. Dmm1169 (talk) 01:01, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- Right, but now the temple milestones page is a fork of either of these lists. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:03, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- Ok. Remerge into Comparison of temples (LDS Church)? If remerged, any suggestion on how to handle the memory issue? I reduced the number of columns on the first table which allows more to be shown (geographic comparison better compared in geographic comparison page), but the memory issue still prohibits all templates to be viewed if recombined.
- As for the "fork" issue, I'm not understanding "fork" issue. The scope is not the same. But even if it was, where does it contradict (which would cause violation)? The source data is the same - it automatically changes with the source. There's links to edit the source, but it can't be changed within the page (which would cause conflict).
- This page was created without discussion via bold split WP:PROSPLIT because of display issues due to size already prohibiting content to be seen (see WP:INCLUDELIMIT). However, I did unintentionally failed to perform item 4 in step 5 which I'll rectify. - Thanks. Dmm1169 (talk) 08:35, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- Dclemens1971 Please explain how this is classified as unacceptable content fork for either page. I'm not seeing this which is why I asked. - Thanks. Dmm1169 (talk) 12:29, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- I think the WP:CONTENTFORK issue is quite clear:
- List of temples (LDS Church) has a table listing the temples' operating status; floor and site areas; dedication date; and dedicating official.
- Comparison of temples (LDS Church) has a table listing the temples' operating status; floor and site areas; building height; numbers of baptistries, endowment rooms, and sealing rooms; architectural style; designer; and whether there is a visitor center.
- Temple milestones (LDS Church) has a table listing the temples' operating status; date of announcement; announcing official; date of groundbreaking; groundbreaking official; date of open house; dedication date; dedicating official; and current president.
- There is also List of temples by geographic region (LDS Church) and List of temples in the United States (LDS Church). But as to the redirection discussion, I simply cannot believe that three separate lists (each of which requires separate maintenance to remain accurate) are required to document this information, much of which overlaps and much of which is trivia. What is the navigational purpose of being able to sort temples by the date they held an open house or whether they have a visitor center? Have you supplied any source independent from the LDS Church that covers this information as required per WP:NLIST? Dclemens1971 (talk) 11:49, 27 July 2026 (UTC)
- Dclemens1971, In definition, it's clarly stated "Transclusions are not content forks." Most information on this page is transclusions. Outside an occasional temple announcement, causing a need for an extra template reference, there's minimal updating needed for this page. Outside of adding a row for each new announcement everything else is updated automatically. If an announced temple has a groundbreaking, open house, dedication or a new temple president is called, the information is automatically updated. Infoboxes, list pages, etc. uses the same source data. This makes conflicts practically an impossibility which is what would make it a negative WP:CONTENTFORK. The way the data is sourced makes it easy to maintain current info over multiple pages. This page focus on milestones. If information needs to be updated/changed, it could simply be done via the "edit" link found next to each temple name, and the edit will effect all pages using that field.
- I'm not sure how it violates WP:NOPAGE, it was formed by WP:PROSPLIT. I brought this split to your attention prior to you posting "articles for deletion". This content already on main space for years on a page already determined to meet notability requirements. This table content is no longer on the previous page because it was a split. Outside of temple identification, List of temples (LDS Church) duplicates only one field out of the tables in this page.
- Per the referencing issue, there's a separate banner and I've created a comment section and I've added some referencing on my own in effort to address this issue. The referencing issue is within the template and effects ALL pages using these temple templates. Some data are referenced in other fields in the template as that field can't support text. While I wish editors would add more, there are a number independent sources listed within this page (Salt Lake Tribune, various local media, etc).
- You seem to have an issue with WP:NOTTRIVIA with certain column(s) in various pages, and not this page as a whole. As shown in its title, the focus of the page is temple milestones which reflects most columns which is why I chose this wording (the tables and columns headers are the same as it was before the move). These are significant milestone events with these event significance explained in the page. You seem to have an issue with a particular column(s) in and outside this page. This can be addressed in the respective page's Talk page as even if there's an issue to that column, it does not disqualify the page as a whole.

- I think the WP:CONTENTFORK issue is quite clear:
- Right, but now the temple milestones page is a fork of either of these lists. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:03, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- I can't imagine that Comparison of temples (LDS Church) is appropriate as a page either (it seems to be a pile of OR and trivia and to violate WP:NOTDATABASE). Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:00, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

- Delete Largely unsourced and otherwise lacking independent sources. Appears to be a rather generic church with no established historical or architectural significance (old does not mean historic does not mean notable).

Comment: In my mind, a church over 100 years old is historic, but a merger or redirect of historic churches is common, because the secular media has not been covering churches for decades, unless it closes or the priest is being sued. Bearian (talk) 20:00, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

- Comment: The first nomination from December, from the same nominator on nearly identical grounds, ended in withdrawal when additional sources were presented; however, the user that provided those sources turned out to be a sock. I don't know if all that was forgotten or if this is simply a do-over as the entire basis for withdrawing has been undermined (socks' opinions don't tend to count in the long run). No opinion.

Comment: Out of the 4 sources cited in the previous AfD, 3 are TRIVIAL mentions and 1 is ROUTINE reportage. None of them have SIGCOV. Withdrawing my nomination in the previous AfD was nothing but a hurried and poor judgement on my behalf. I pardon for that. So, as it stands now....there isn't any SIGCOV about the school.
