 * Keep, The article is well written and it is extensive and does provide valuable information to those who may be looking for such. It would be a pity for the internet to lose this potentially useful information.  I have added some references to demonstrate notabilty. Wayne Jayes (talk) 16:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Very weak keep. I'm not a fan at all of organisations using Wikipedia as web hosting (which is what this seems to be on the whole). The article seems to be largely based on vague documents in the church archives, rather than published sources, and I have to take it in good faith that the books recently listed at the bottom contain pertinent information about the church. Howver, churches are generally semi-public buildings at the heart of a community, so its probable its been notable at some point in its 80+ year history. It doesn't help, when searching for sources, that the English Maidstone also has an All Saints Church! It's a tough one, the article needs a hefty clean-up at least.
