Criteria for inclusion

[edit]

Sometimes it feels like I'm including too much and this chronology is bloated. I just added 2018 events (an eventful year), but it's a long list (currently 22 items) and I may still add more:

  • Meetings between LDS and NAACP leadership
  • Be One celebration
  • Church stock holdings reported
  • New hymnal project announced
  • Sam Young's public fast, excommunication, and the issue of bishop's interviews on This American Life
  • Tabernacle Choir's new name
  • Salt Lake County is now minority LDS
  • Sister missionaries can wear pants, and mission calls are now delivered online
  • Bill Reel was excommunicated for his podcast

What should be included and what should be excluded? I have tried to include well-known or publicized events, or significant developments inside the Latter Day Saint movement or in its relation to the outside world. Things like:

  • well-publicized controversies (notable excommunications, church finances, FLDS prosecutions)
  • changes in church practice (the name "Mormon", scouting, priesthood ages, missionary policies, general conference developments)
  • new top leadership (mostly apostles)
  • new notable media (groundbreaking publications, films, television, broadway, music, ads)
  • Latter Day Saints and the outside world (politics, 2002 olympics)
  • milestones (membership, demographics, outgrowth)

Is this too much? Are these notable for a list like this? I want this to be useful, not overbearing, but usefulness includes seeing developments in proximity with each other. Is every temple dedication a kind of milestone, reflecting church demographics? How do we keep these items brief, while still capturing their significance? ——Rich jj (talk) 14:56, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
