My prodding and the subsequent deletion of this article has earned me an accusation of WP:COI by the creator, however this is a clear violation of WP:NOTDIR. Delete.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 16:27, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm curious to know the reasons for proposed deletion of my article. I can't see any, besides religious discrimination. SETI3 (talk) 16:54, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • And I'm curious to see where's the discrimination, considering that List of Christian churches in Poland doesn't belong here either. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 16:57, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I still can't see any serious reasons for proposed deletion of my article, besides religious discrimination. My article is a simple equivalent of numerous similar articles with an almost identical title "List of Hindu temples in..." (e.g. Canada, Germany, Nepal etc.) Why you have repeatedly nominated my article and not a similar article about for example Canada? It's simply unfounded. Additionally, my article has three links to other articles. Anyway, you are free to create List of Christian churches in Poland, although it would be probably better to create more detailed lists about this topic. Sorry, I don't know your word "beling", maybe it's a Canadian slang. Keep SETI3 (talk) 17:13, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • That was "belong," not "beling." Thanks. Anyway, I'm a French Canadian Evangelical. And I don't know a single Evangelical church in my hometown that is worthy of mention, even in a list, in Wikipedia. :-) -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 17:28, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Religious fanaticism has many names. But I'm still waiting to know serious reasons for nominating my article. Besides, I agree with you that in Canada there are certainly not many religious or other buildings worthy of mention in comparison to Poland with its much more rich architectural, cultural, and religious heritage due to much longer history of this country.

  • Merge into Hinduism in Poland. Not enough entries to warrant a separate list. Renata (talk) 21:00, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually, the material was taken from this split of List of Hindu temples. Each entry was expanded to include trivial information. I have no prejudice against merging the material back to the main article with the trivial information removed (in fact I just became aware of that "main list's" existence), but Wikipedia should not serve as the Yellow Pages, and four entries, none of which are notable enough to get their own article, certainly doesn't warrant a separate list. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 01:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep with the possibility of merging as Renata says. No argument presented for deletion.--Kotniski (talk) 21:18, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Lists are a recognized part of Wikipedia (see 1, 2), there is no word on limitations or deletions due to their length (shortness). ilmari (talk) 00:45, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep child article of List of Hindu temples. Similar lists like List of churches in London, List of mosques in Singapore do exist. --Redtigerxyz Talk 05:36, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep the article does not break any of the wikipedia rules. Similar articles exist.
Note to Blanchardb: if you want to contribute to wikipedia, consider expanding the short articles instead of deleting them. Niky cz (talk) 11:20, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Normally, when I see that an AfD nomination of mine is headed for a probable keep, I withdraw my nomination. Not this time. It appears that my comment about comparing this list to an eventual List of Christian churches in Poland was misunderstood, and it's partly my fault. Of course, a list of notable churches belongs in Wikipedia, but not a list of non-notables ones, and I would have nominated such a list for deletion had I come across one. Both of the articles cited by Redtigerxyz contain a significant number of entries that have separate Wikipedia articles, in fact List of mosques in Singapore contains only entries that have articles. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 18:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Here, we have zero entry with its own article, and the fact the list contains a picture of a building that looks more like a barn than a Hindu temple lends credence to the fact this contains only non-notable items. (Also, I have a hard time believing there are only four Hindu temples in all of Poland, but that's another matter.) So that's why I'm sticking to my guns: WP:NOTDIR. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 06:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's simply disgusting. - Blanchardb  didn't even bother to read the article New Shantipur Temple in Czarnów. This temple looks like a barn because it had to look like this in the 1980s during the Communist rule in Poland, when ISKCON was an illegal and persecuted organisation and simply couldn't build true beautiful temples. From historical point of view New Shantipur is certainly more important than any other temple in Poland. It's really so hard to understand? SETI3 (talk) 18:10, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I stand corrected on the existence of articles. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 18:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
