I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place; if not apologies. Articles on individual churches appear regularly as AFD items, which I am picking up via [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Christianity]], which is on my watch list. I would like to hear other peoples views about this. Most individual churches are without doubt non-notable. Some articles are a mere advert for the church, and probably deserve deletion as such. Others are rather more subtantantial and cross a quality threshold (though probably still not a notability one). Until recently I have been accepting the view that these articles have to be deleted, but an alternative is to merge them inot articles on the places (town, village, city - or better city locality) where they are.

How many Christians?
I have a simple question : Roughly, how many Christians are there, worldwide? I can't figure out where this information is in the portal. Thanks --Irrevenant [ talk ] 21:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- It is in List_of_religious_populations#Big_4_Religions. -Bikinibomb (talk) 22:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Random
I think it is high time we convert this to random portal. Any objections? If so, why? --Secisek (talk) 07:55, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- There is no reason to. There is always new content that can be added and as long as someone is willing to keep it updated, there is no compelling need to make it random. --B (talk) 00:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Selected verse
Would it be taken badly if we chose something from the Lolcat Bible as the selected scripture of the month? I think we could probably use a change of pace once in a while, and it is, kinda, biblical. John Carter (talk) 18:06, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- Now that's a funny idea, but as much as I enjoy lolspeak, I think that it's more relevant to the lolcat culture than to Christianity itself :) I'm in ur portalz, eating ur lolcatz Brisvegas 10:39, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
