Five Stones Church

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local church with only local news coverage, of the sort you'd expect for any church anywhere. I don't think this satisfies WP:ORG. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:45, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - This church clearly passes Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. In addition to the four sources currently on the article, there are another six valid sources that were removed because they relate to the church as an organization rather than the church as a building. Two different newspapers have written full-page spreads about this organization, and it has received coverage in several other news sources as well. Neelix (talk) 15:33, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Clear case of WP:SPAM, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:LOCAL.  The "references" that were removed were community-events reviews from a local paper, by way of advertorial-style content; the material added from them that I deleted was WP:TRIVIA and non-notable.  Also removed was a plug for Tara Teng, who though she is notable her activities for her own promotion are not.  They also linked to Heritage Grill, which is equally non-notable and tied by business/promotional relationship to this church.Skookum1 (talk) 16:00, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete My rationale is tied into my comments at Articles for deletion/Christian Life Assembly where the article should be deleted under WP:BRANCH with only WP:LOCAL coverage and borderline WP:SPAM. I'm from Vancouver and usually I'm all for subjects relating to this city but I cannot in good conscience support this article where it really has no notability outside it being a local neighbourhood church.

 * Delete very WP:MILL local church. Doesn't really seem to be anything encyclopedic to say about it. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  02:53, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Run of the mill local churches rarely satisfy WP:ORG. This one is no exception. Wikipedia is not a directory of every religious congregation and/or the building where it meets. For the thoughts of a number of editors about what it takes to make a church notable, see WP:CHURCH. Edison (talk) 03:46, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MILL; seems to lack encyclopedic content and only have local coverage. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:21, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete: Lack of signficant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. Only local new coverage. Fails all notability guidelines. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 17:32, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
