[edit] High Park Baptist Church

High Park Baptist Church (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Nonnotable individual church congregation. NawlinWiki 19:39, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete There is a basis for an article here, but the claim it was a influential church in its heyday is not supported by multiple independent sources. The church has been around almost 100 years, but no real demonstration of historical importance in the community or the denomination, or notable members or pastors or doctrines or music originated there. I do not see anything in the article that satisfies the proposed guideline WP:CHURCH or other notabillity criteria. Edison 20:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Question: What's the definition of a Notable Church? Kingjeff 01:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Try WP:CHURCH. As it stands the only arguements are for deletion.Garrie 02:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
So Sandy Scott claim as a verifiable article doesn't count? Kingjeff 05:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: It may be verifiable but it is also not notable. DCEdwards1966 20:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I think this church is notable. Kingjeff 21:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
  • strong deleteSame arguments as for the church just above. What an editor "think" is notable doesnt count. Whether the appropriate claims of notability are there & verified is what counts.DGG 06:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This isn't a notable church like Castle Church in Wittenberg or the Westboro Baptist Church. There is no place on Wikipedia for this article. --Adam Riley Talk 19:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
