 * Speedy keep The building, which most of the information in the article is about, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore it is clearly notable and WP:CORP is not relevant. Nev1 (talk) 15:01, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Nev1. (GregJackP (talk) 15:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC))

 * Comment. I guess this is my fault, as I made a disparaging comment about this article at Articles for deletion/Hopewell Presbyterian Church (Dillsboro, Indiana). I do have a question, though? Does listing on NRHP make the church notable according to WP policy? Notability (buildings, structures, and landmarks) is a failed proposal. StAnselm (talk) 20:47, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it has been established in multiple other AfDs that sites on the NRHP (and the counterparts in England, listed buildings) are considered notable by Wikipedia's standards because of the amount of documentation associated with such structures as well as the government recognition that they are important. From the NRHP website: "Listing in the National Register honors a historic place by recognizing its importance to its community, State or the Nation". Nev1 (talk) 22:21, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The notability derives from the structure, through NHRP, not the organization. It doesn't matter that the organization likely fails WP:CORP. PhGustaf (talk) 22:28, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - The congregation, as an organization, fails notability. However, the structure meets notability by its listing on the National Register of Historic Places. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 05:14, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep as above - can we take off the nasty looking afd notice? Smallbones (talk) 19:53, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
