The result was   Speedy Keep. WP:RS and WP:ORG requirements are more than satisfied, and it is highly unlikely that a cogent argument for deletion can now be made. Pastor Theo (talk) 11:56, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Nominated for deletion four minutes after the article was created? May I recommend Don't demolish the house while it's still being built? — Malik Shabazz 00:35, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply — Four minutes, four days, for months or four years won't make a difference to a non-notable subject, unless the subject happens to become notable sometime after the article's created. But that's not how it works here. First the subject is notable, then we can have an article about it. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 02:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep (without prejudice to delete later) give the article time to be built, wilya? COULD be notable, we don't know yet.  I've heard the "time won't make a difference with a non-notable subject" argument before and my experience is that if the article is written in good faith (which I believe this one is) a little bit of time can indeed make a difference and clarity will come through in the end.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:55, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Note I've moved the article to Congregation B'nai Israel (Bridgeport, Connecticut). — Malik Shabazz 03:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The article already contains multiple sources; moreover I would suggest that this temple is inherently notable by virtue of its age (150 this year) and history as Bridgeport's first Jewish congregation.--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:35, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep B'nai Israel is 150 years old, the oldest synagogue in Bridgeport, and the third oldest in the state of Connecticut. — Malik Shabazz 04:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
