Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Independent Lutheran Diocese (2nd nomination)
I'd looked for sources and honestly, I couldn't find anything. Basically this is an organization that someone started up on their own in 2005. Lutherans don't have one specific central government that they answer to akin to how Catholics generally answer to an archdiocese or the Pope, but they do have larger organizations like the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. The ILD is not a part of any of these other denominations of Lutheranism from what I can see. (In other words while it can be similar to various orthodox Lutheran denominations it is not a part of those denominations and should be seen as a separate group entirely.) It looks like this is also something that just about anyone can join, so it's not like it covers a set portion of territory like the Missouri Synod does. In any case, despite being around for 10 years I cannot find anything out there other than routine notifications of events and various primary sources like http://www.timesherald.com/article/JR/20130718/LIFE08/130719680 press releases- and I've looked under ILD and its original name, Old Lutheran Church in America. This seems to be your run of the mill small faction where someone decided to start up their own organization. Christianity (especially Lutheranism) has quite a few of these, where people decide to start up their own organization where they say they're going back to the "true" path. Per the article, this organization oversees less than 30 churches. Given that there's pretty much zero coverage other than (if the article is to be believed) a mention in a http://online.nph.net/ Northwestern Publishing book (a religious publisher that publishes things like devotionals and Bibles, so it's not an academic press per Wikipedia's criteria), I honestly don't think that this would merit an entry on Wikipedia. It also doesn't help that it's incredibly promotional in tone and has been used as a COI  for years. In other words, it's not like the more well-known and established Lutheran Synods so it shouldn't be considered on par with those
