Calvary Baptist Church, Lawton, Oklahoma

This article is about a non notable church. The article seems to be written by a member of the church for the purpose of advertising. Nothing special happens at the church that would make it more notable than the millions of other churches in the world. Tavix (talk) 15:34, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:N and WP:COI. The pastor is the one writing the article, and the closest you can come to notability is the fact that the church has been around since 1925...try again in 17 years when it becomes a historic building. --Seascic T/C 15:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The user name of "Dking661" could be someone posing as the pastor as well, although that's probably unlikely. Tavix (talk) 17:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. As the article is written, notability is not established. In general, articles about a specific church are fine, but this one is absolutely non-descript. That and the COI thing. --Quartermaster (talk) 18:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete there certainly are notable churches that have articles about them in Wikipedia. I'm sure it's a nice place, but there is no reason why this specific church should be considered notable.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a church directory.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:23, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete for non-notability and a conflict of interest regarding its author. Just doesn't belong here. &mdash; Mizu onna sango15 Hello!  23:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Pending the inclusion of references that support the claim of notability, I have to support its erasure. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:53, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
