Crossroads Christian Church

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

A shameless, blatant advertisement. Also, as a resident of Corona, CA, I do not believe that Crossroads is notable enough. Uses self-promoting sources, and was obviously written by someone affiliated with the church. Novalord2 (talk) 06:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This Google News Archive search returns a number of new stories, many of which mention the church in passing. Cunard (talk) 06:57, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Christianity-related deletion discussions.  —Cunard (talk) 06:59, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:IDONTLIKEIT and unconfirmed WP:COI are not good reasons to call for deletion. Articles with self-promotional text can be edited to meet Wikipedia's standards. Cunard's Google News search confirms some degree of notability. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:30, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Notice how the article advertises the business hours of its cafe. This article does not necessarily have to be deleted, but it is very un-wikipedian in its current form. Novalord2 (talk) 11:29, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Then why do you nominate it for deletion rather than cutting out the promotional stuff? - Mgm|(talk) 10:42, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a "re-write" or "clean up" tag would have been more appropriate. A major re-write is needed. Novalord2 (talk) 01:49, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I started copy editing the spammy fluff out of the article. I would welcome you, Novalord2, to help improve the article. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:04, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Made some improvements, added an "expand" tag, for when the deletion is closed Novalord2 (talk) 12:52, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep and clean up. There are RS, though fewer that I would expect.  Springnuts (talk) 20:01, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep --  Google search shows that the church is active  in the community, establishing notability should not be a problem. --J.Mundo (talk) 12:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
