Not a notable church - fails

WP:GNG. It's not a megachurch, and all I can find from Google Books is a picture and caption from a book about the township. StAnselm (talk) 20:29, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep  I've found a few references and added them to the article.  I'd be happier with one more good article from the Detroit Free Press, but the online archives don't cover 1922 to 1999.  All in all, the article is free of promotion, reliably sourced, useful to readers who want to know more about this topic, and the references are sufficient to establish wp:notability.  Unscintillating (talk) 16:47, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete There is nothing here that really rings the Notability bell. Sources mostly fail RS and the coverage it has garnered is pretty much of the routine sort that one would expect of any church. I saw no claim to any great historical or architectural significance. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete The only possible source of significant notability here is the the congregation's shift in stages to the PCA, but I'm not finding a lot of interest in that save in one or two conservative Presbie outlets and blogs. I gather that in doing so it is simply one of many. Mangoe (talk) 13:12, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It contains useful information of this historic congregation.

I can see how that would be nice, but that would render our notability guideline virtually meaningless. StAnselm (talk) 01:36, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
