Suggest Remove Plan of Salvation Files from LDS in... pages

I don't understand the resoning for having The Plan of Salvation espanol.jpg image in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in country pages. 2 reasons I'm recommending removal of the plan of Salvation images:

• It doesn't appear to be in line with content of these pages. The plan of salvation is not country/region specific. How does it specifically apply to the LDS Church in Brazil? There are pages for general church doctrine.
• This is an English language page. I can understand symbols in the local language such as Church Logo or Book of Mormon Cover on the English page. I think this is streach to place it a local church symbol, or equivelant. So I'm wondering what's the reasoning on adding this image to the country pages? Otherwise, I would suggest these images be removed. Any objections?

Please let this graphics stay because this graphics are good wikipedia content.--93.193.170.30 (talk) 19:01, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. Could you elaborate on why Plan of Salvation graphics relates to this and other similar pages? Just because it's a graphic doesn't mean it can be used anywhere. A diagram of a dog likely will not meet wikipedia standards if it's placed on a cat page. It's got to relate in order to meet wikipedia standards.Dmm1169 (talk) 22:52, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

The graphics are usefull for people with the same language.--93.193.170.30 (talk) 04:32, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply, but this is an English language page. If they speak Spanish, for example, they will be reading it in the Spanish language page. Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días en México is the page in Spanish. There's also a Portuguese version of the page. Brazil and other country pages are also provided in multiple languages.

I understand seeing a church logo in Spanish since it's a recognizable symbol of the church in Mexico. It's placed on Church Buildings in this language and format in Mexico. The Book of Mormon is a little more of a stretch but is on some English language pages for the same reason. Again, even though Spanish is the spoken language in Mexico, this page is for English readers. The plan of salvation, while doctrine of the church, is not as much a recognizable symbol of the church which is why I'm confused why it's included on these pages.-Dmm1169 (talk) 21:50, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

I concur with Dmm1169. While this is a great graphic, this is the wrong article. I think having it in “degrees of glory” or “plan of salvation” is appropriate, but this article is outside the scope. Epachamo (talk) 22:59, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Examples of Non-English items that appear on English LDS in country pages that appear appropriate to be found on page is:

• Church logo of dominant language spoken in the country has a place in the infobox as well as logos of indigenous languages can be shown in the body. This logo is shown on church sites and buildings, church material, media, etc. and is represented of the church within that country.
• Book of Mormon cover or similar image. The translation milestone into the native language is commonly spoken about in country church history pages.

Feel free to comment if you disagree or have further insight you want to add. Thanks. -Dmm1169 (talk) 21:59, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
