Faith City Church

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

prod removed without improvement to article. I'm not sure what guidelines apply to churches, but this appears to fail the general notability policy. There are quite a few google hits but almost all are trivial (e.g. notice that some event is happening at the church), and those that are not are also not independent. Also, there appear to be quite a few churches by this name in NZ and elsewhere, so the article ought to be disambiguated if kept. dramatic (talk) 09:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Definitely no notability. Nyttend (talk) 12:39, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * keep With the existence of a school on the church, and that the senior pastor is the apparent #2 man in the Assemblies of God in New Zealand denomination, and the good amount of hits I find on google search, it looks like improving the article and finding additional sources would be the better option.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:31, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - the church does not inherit notability from the pastor, nor from the school. Your arguments may be a case for expanding Assemblies of God in New Zealand, however. dramatic (talk) 22:10, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Response Hmmm, thoughtful... but I don't fall in line with the idea. If the church was run by the school, and the church worked for the pastor, then the church would not necessarily "inherit" anything... but since the church runs the school and the pastor works for the church, it's more "reverse inheritance" ...  if the right guard for the football team is notable, and the left tackle for the team is notable... then the team is notable.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Response But "reverse inheritance" is still inheritance: the now-disappeared Parnassus Reformed Presbyterian Church is not notable simply because a former pastor is notable. Nyttend (talk) 20:43, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Response Valid point (kinda gave me a headache just thinking about it). I'm staying with keep just the same, at least for now... but without prejudice to re-introduce later.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
