Beth Israel Congregation (Beaufort, South Carolina)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable religious organization. Fails notability criteria. Basket of Puppies 18:27, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per presence in sources such as and  and  and  and  and  and the nominator should really spend some time following WP:BEFORE – it took me about five minutes to find this lot. ╟─ Treasury  Tag ►  Alþingi  ─╢ 18:36, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * My rationale is WP:BUILDER. The congregation may possibly be notable at some point, but I don't really know. All I know if that it perfectly fits the description at BUILDER and is not ripe for the Wiki. Basket of Puppies  18:40, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Just so we're both clear, what's the problem with and  and  and  and  and  – ? ╟─ Treasury  Tag ►  directorate  ─╢ 18:51, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Historic wooden synagogue building, lots of reliable sources. This does not appear to be a well-researched AfD. Jayjg (talk) 19:10, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with your rationale, but sadly this doesn't meet any of the speedy keep criteria. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster  ─╢ 19:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep—a synagogue that's over 100 years old that has been operating consistently seems inherently notable to me, even without the other claims to notability. —Ynhockey (Talk) 19:12, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'll see your WP:BUILDER and raise you a WP:INSPECTOR. The article could use better sourcing (many of which were provided above by TreasuryTag), but its subject does have historical significance, especially as it pertains to the historical presence of a Jewish congregation in the predominantly Christian American South.

 * Keep. Plenty of sources to establish notability (including the material from the Goldring / Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life that was already listed in this article as an external link.--Arxiloxos (talk) 19:20, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep As noted above there are many reliable and verifiable sources available about this historic congregation, in addition to the several sources establishing notability that have already been added. Alansohn (talk) 20:02, 22 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Hundred-year-old, wooden synagogue building. Sounds notable. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 20:15, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
