The article Kirchspiel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This should be deleted to avoid inhibiting Search. Enwiki has nothing to say about the German word for church parish, and Dülmen Kirchspiel is one of several places which are really WP:Partial title matches.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
