Christ Presbyterian Church (Nashville, Tennessee)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to meet WP:ORG; doesn't appear to have any claim to significance, such as being the original church of a denomination, etc. Bneu2013 (talk) 21:20, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep: The article is in a terrible state, and needs to be extensively rewritten: e.g. "Ray served us as Senior Pastor until February 2007". But that, of course, is not a reason for deletion. This is clearly not a run-of-the-mill church; indeed, megachurches are generally notable. Among other things, it has received attention as the church Governor Bill Haslam attends when he is in Nashville. StAnselm (talk) 02:18, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: per StAnselm's comment about the Governor.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 22:23, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: Need improvement but notable enough. JohnThorne (talk) 23:09, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment so it's automatically notable just because it's over a certain size and is attended by a few famous people? Statements such as "famous person x attends Christ Presbyterian Church", nothing else, count as media coverage? I also find 's argument unconvincing, as it gives no reason for why this is notable, but I'm assuming it is per arguments given above. Bneu2013 (talk) 04:45, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep so much came up in a paywalled news archive (a added a couple of paywalled sources) that I decided to try a gNews searches.   Here's a gNews search on "Scott Sauls". presbyterian .  this looks like a WP:BEFORE fail; article needs improvement.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:16, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've opened a discussion about the notability of churches at WT:ORG. While I don't dispute the fact that this subject is significantly mentioned in a number of reliable sources, I still don't know that "famous person x attends Christ Presbyterian Church," or obituaries for person x, who attended this Church, counts as legitimate coverage. So no,, this is not a WP:BEFORE fail. I've gone ahead and added a notable people section if that satisfies any of you. Bneu2013 (talk) 23:40, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * In fact, I oppose lists of church members. If an individual's affiliation with a particular church is a sufficiently significant part of their lives to have SIGCOV, it should be noted on the BIO page and linked the church.  The existence of such links is one of the reasons why I think church pages should be kept.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:24, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I did this just to establish notability for the time being. The fact that notable people attend this church was one of the initial arguments for notability. Bneu2013 (talk) 05:10, 5 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep as has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources so passing WP:GNG and therefore deserves to be included in the encyclopedia, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 14:06, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
