The Church in Singapore

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I declined a CSD for this because of possible notability. In any case, the title is very ambiguous; are they talking about the Methodist church, Congregationalist church, one church, a group of churches, etc.? I tried Google-searching, but found it hard to match this article with one of the Google results. I'm neutral until we have an idea of what they're talking about.

 * Comment It's the first Google hit, the address is the same on the website as in the article. I moved it and inserted the link and categorized it.  Drawn Some (talk) 04:39, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This appears to be a single church congregation in Singapore, with a generic-sounding name that makes it difficult to Google. The responsibility for establishing notability belongs to the supporters of the article, and so far no independent sources have been provided. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:58, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nonnotable. The only "real" reference I could find was: http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_371025.html Kwiki (talk) 09:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I am in agreement with the points raised by Metropolitan90 and Kwiki. Pastor Theo (talk) 11:04, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Some individual churches are of course notable. e.g. Kingsway International Christian Centre, Metropolitan Tabernacle, Lakewood Church, Brompton Oratory, or any one of the churches in Category:Anglican churches in London. Deos it have wider cultural, social, historical, theological, etc, significance?--Oxonian2006 (talk) 14:27, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Not that it makes any claim to or that is obvious. Drawn Some (talk) 15:16, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Christianity in Singapore. Nyttend (talk) 15:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No evidence of notability.  A little digging indicates they're disciples of Watchman Nee, so a merge or redirect to Local churches (affiliation) might be a possibility. Tevildo (talk) 16:38, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * CommentThe congregation associated with Witness Lee and the Living Stream Ministry's Local churches is another group by the name "Church of God". Not the same as CiS. Pneumatikos (talk) 06:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Can a stub be entered instead to allow others to substantiate or expand it at a later time? 220.255.7.213 (talk) 18:24, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per the nomination. This article seriously fails WP:N and WP:RS. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Christianity in Singapore. The subject of the article is not notable, but the title is a somewhat plausible search term. Robofish (talk) 21:15, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
