You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Objection to deletion
The building and congregation of Hudsonville Congregational United Church of Christ is notable in that the land it rests upon was donated by the founder of Hudsonville, it serves the community today by offering a food truck service and various community activities including what has become the largest craft sale in Hudsonville. The congregation is notable today in that it is the only openly gay-friendly church in Hudsonville. The church has experienced both praise and vandalism for their decision to become open and affirming of LGBTQ persons. Opposition to their position on being gay-friendly may be the motivation behind the attempt to have this entry removed from Wikipedia. Y3kgeek (talk) 00:05, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
