Eythorne Baptist Church
Doesn't seem notable. ~300 ghits. --Pboyd04 00:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Bill (who is cool!) 00:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Early example of non-comformist church. History dates back 450 years, and they now operate in 4 locations. The article needs to be improved, but so do many more on Wikipedia. --Michael Johnson 00:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Needs to be greatly expanded, but could be retained, there is enough history. Judgesurreal777 01:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep but expand, though Ghits are low.--Jusjih 01:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - pretty much same reasons as above. I don't think it's all that notable, but maybe could be expanded. But it's been here since March and in 4 months didn't get all that much in it. So, I wouldn't scream if it was reincarnated with a better article. &mdash; RevRagnarok  Talk Contrib Reverts 02:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep for historical reasons per Michael Johnson. AdamBiswanger1 02:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Per above (NOTE: "Ghits" have nothing to do with anything, cease immiediately). -- Librarianofages 02:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment just using google to try and establish notablity/verifiabilty, because lets face it neither the article nor the churches website inspire confidence. --Pboyd04 04:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Neither the article nor the church website are particually well written, nor is the church website technically very good. But so what? And hardly surprising from a village church, where the average of parishiners is probably in their 60's. Surely we should be looking at the facts presented.
 * church has a continuous 450 year history
 * church has a strong association with someone who was executed for their religious beliefs, surely notable
 * church was an early Baptist church, important for the history of that sect.
 * The whole story adds up to part of the history of Christianity, the development of religious freedoms, and on the way the growth of political freedom. A footnote no doubt but interesting and the sort of thing I personally would be looking to an encyclopedia to expand on. Just some personal thoughts --Michael Johnson 07:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: This article has the background foundation, it just has to be discovered and added. --Signed and Sealed, JJJJust*T C 04:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment per my comment above can anyone provide verification? If so I'll drop the nom. --Pboyd04 04:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, since there seems to be historical significance. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 04:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Expand and V. SynergeticMaggot 04:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * keep please there is historical significance Yuckfoo 06:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - agree with Michael Johnson and others - historical importance and interest --HJMG 10:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article needs to be expanded and better written, but it has historical significance and potential for improvement. I agree with the comments about a need for better WP:V though. Scorpiondollprincess 14:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep a rarity here, finally, a notable church. Carlossuarez46 20:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Themindset 22:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Appears to be an 'In Progress' stub. This article has potential to be of encyclopaedic value. Let's give the authors an opportunity to bring it up to that potential. Torinir  ( Ding my phone  My support calls   E-Support Options  ) 00:46, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. All enduring institutions are verifiable and should be documented in any encyclopedia whose purpose is to comprise the sum of all knowledge. --Centauri 01:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
