Church at Addis

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable church. References lack in-depth coverage. Verges on advertisement. red dogsix (talk) 15:21, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as promotional. Honestly it is borderline G11. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:05, 11 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments - An editor has taken a cursory look at the new Church of Addis entry and concluded that the Church of Addis is not of sufficient notability and the page should be deleted. I submit that this view is not correct.


 * The Church at Addis has reinstated the practice of First Century Christianity. This in itself is innovative and historic.
 * First Century Christianity has proven to be a magnet to people that cause them to drive by numerous other churches to get to the Church at Addis. The Church at Addis attracts members from as far as twenty-five or thirty miles away. Few other churches can make this claim.


 * The practice of First Century Christianity has caused extremely rapid growth in membership that has attracted attention state-wide.


 * The Church at Addis is involved internationally with support of a school in Nicaragua. This is quite unusual. This two is attracting attention beyond the local area.


 * When a historic flood occurred in the area, the Church at Addis turned itself into a distribution center to provide relief to flood victims. This has attracted notice from FEMA, Glenn Beck, and the West Side Journal newspaper. It received an award from the Chamber of Commerce.


 * The Church at Addis appears to be heading for mega-church status due to its rapid rate of growth. Wikipedia should not be short-sighted and delete this page.


 * If this page is to be deleted, then there are dozens or hundreds of other pages describing churches that are much less notable that should be deleted. I think it would be very unfair to delete the Church at Addis page while allowing other less notable articles to remain.


 * The Church at Addis has been highlighted in both religious and secular journals. It is a notable church and deserves a place on Wikipedia Sugarcube73 (talk) 18:40, 13 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments - The bottom line is the article subject needs to meet the criteria in notability and be supported by significant coverage. The items you have indicated do not support notability.  Your comment that implies there are many other articles  in Wikipedia of lessor "importance" than this article is  not relevant - other stuff exists and is not a reason to keep this article.  Please demonstrate how this article meets the criteria in WP:N beyond local coverage.   red dogsix (talk) 22:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
