Build Zion in Britain

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Subject of the article is purported to be a catchphrase important to the Mormon/LDS Church in Britain, but I could not find it used anywhere-- not even on LDS sites. No references cited to any source at all. Unverifiable. Though the concept of "Zion" in the Mormon/LDS religion is notable and David O. McKay (the Church leader to whom this catchphrase is attributed) is notable, notability is not inherited (see WP:NOTINHERITED). It has been suggested that this article be merged with Zion (Latter Day Saints) or David O. McKay) However, since we cannot verify that this catchphrase ever even existed, there is nothing that we can merge there.  The text of the article is written in language that would be used by a Mormon/LDS document that is addressed to Church members already initiated to their terminology and lingo.  Possible copyvio from a Mormon/LDS publication somewhere. OfficeGirl 22:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I did find one mention here but it's dropped naturally into the sentence, suggesting its part of LDS lingo rather than a notable phrase in itself. If it were a notable concept, you'd expect an LDS academic paper to capitalize or use quotemarks around it. Thomjakobsen 22:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I found the exact same page, and observed the same things you mention here. That was what persuaded me that an AfD was in order. OfficeGirl 22:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
