List of wedding chapels in Las Vegas[edit]

Not a very useful list, very little context. Only one of these seems to be notable anyway, the rest are questionable. I don't see much use to this list as wedding chapels are by no means inherently notable, and I don't see any of the many red links turning blue.

Weak keep - Las Vegas is known-- i.e., spoken of in popular American culture for decades-- for quickie wedding chapels, which suggests at least some sort of notability. These places are part of the cultural tacky factor, and for being a kind of mecca for eloping couples. In a way, the wedding chapels are a more distinctive hallmark of LV than its casinos, in that you have casinos all over the U.S. The connection is kind of like Niagara Falls and honeymoons.

Keep per Jlg4104. The opening needs to be expanded, but that's a matter for editing, not a reason to delete. It is reasonable to have both this list and also Category:Wedding chapels in Las Vegas for the advantages laid out at Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates. As to the concern about the notability of the items on the list: I'm not sure about this, especially seeing as the nominator questions the notability with a tag to an article whose subject is very much notable, although that only becomes apparent once the research is done and the sources are added.

Keep a list of notable chapels could be merged to Las Vegas weddings#Wedding chapels or the article could be refactored into a general article about Las Vegas wedding chapels, either way the content could probably be used in an encyclopaedic fashion somewhere.
