No indication in the article that it satisfies the relevant notability guideline WP:ORG or the general notability guideline WP:N. Wikipedia is not a directory of every church in the world. Edison (talk) 02:58, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Prominent Anglo-Catholic church in upper New York which has undergone a number of notable events (particularly fires) and is noteworthy for among other things its pioneering use of free pews (a big deal in the Nineteenth Century). Despite what the nominator says, this is not written like a directory listing. JASpencer (talk) 12:46, 30 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. I have not found much in the way of online sources for this church, but its distinguished architectural and design lineage, as outlined in the current article, strongly suggest some level of notability. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - The sources used in the article are not independent of the article topic, but a quick Google search turned up a couple of third-party sources that lead me to conclude that people not affiliated with this church consider it notable for its history, architecture, and/or organ: American Guild of Organists, New York Landmarks Conservancy. Also, I am amused to find that someone in England has linked to this article (and reproduced the photo) as a source of information on church architecture: --Orlady (talk) 17:44, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
