Church buildings are placed here that have been removed from the main list because the data about them is disputed or contradictory, or there is no information about the respective church building anywhere on the Internet. The purpose of this list is to preserve the work and efforts of the authors who have included some church buildings with a disputed place in the main list. In this way their work is preserved, and if it is proved that the excluded church buildings have a place in the main list, they can easily be restored to it.
