No notability that I can see, and only passing mentions in the references. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Historic Adelaide church dating back to the 1840s. Despite what the nom says, the second reference goes into explicit detail of the property and the first one is easily beyond the scope of a "passing mention."  The South Australia government also has a brief (still more than "passing mention") profile.   --Oakshade (talk) 00:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. One sentence in the first reference doesn't count as a passing mention? I didn't read far enough in the second; it does describe the property, though I'm not sure that that's sufficient by itself. The government profile does, however, make me reconsider.

 * For that first reference, it's actually a very long sentence, almost a paragraph. I just don't consider that a "passing mention."--Oakshade (talk) 03:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Very significant due to early date (1840, just four years after European settlement); context (unique nature of free settlement of the colony of South Australia as a "paradise of dissent", rather than as a penal colony); and central location within the City of Adelaide.

 * Keep. Listed as a State Heritage Place by the South Australian Government. Clearly notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination. Government references do the trick. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:23, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
