Flat Creek Baptist Church (Oakwood, Georgia)

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

Article with virtually no third party sourcing about an unremarkable church. The article extensively cites internal church documents, and makes reference to the headline of a single newspaper article, without giving any information to allow anyone to actually find the article, or any indication of the depth of coverage therein. Fails generally notability and verifiability guidelines at WP:N and WP:V, despite the impassioned pleas of its primary author. gnfnrf (talk) 01:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:N and WP:V. I'm coming up with diddly-squat on this. :D miquonranger03 (talk) 01:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Churches are typically non-notable unless it is a megachurch, is a historical building (such as on the list of National List of Historic Places), or has been covered in major news mediums. Since this church is none of the above listed, this should be deleted as non-notable. Tavix (talk) 02:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ORG. Most individual churches are non-notable, and the church's own publications and records cannot establish the church's own notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:15, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Completely non-notable and unverifiable in secondary sources. — 97198 (talk) 08:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ORG and the reasons above, no evidence this church meets anything that established notability TravellingCari  13:53, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete with a reminder to speedy delete the scanned church directory once this is deleted, as the directory image is uploaded as fair use with no real chance of being used elsewhere. Nyttend (talk) 14:45, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Quoting User:Morydd from Articles for deletion/Habari (2nd nomination), "lack of links to [this page] could be equally interpreted as information that is missing from Wikipedia rather than proof of lack of notability. Since Morydd was persuasive enough to get that AfD closed as a keep, obviously his or her arguments carry weight Misterdiscreet (talk) 19:42, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure what your point is. Both (a) another completely different AfD and (b) the lack of links, are irrelevant. — 97198 (talk) 06:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
