Glenwood United Methodist Church (Columbus, Ohio)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Looks to fail WP:NCHURCH and WP:GNG, notability tagged since 2010. Also has no sources. This is just a database entry, not really significant coverage. I can find several database entries similar to the one above, but those still aren't significant coverage. Coverage from the church itself and the Methodist branch it is affiliated with aren't exactly independent coverage. As usual, there are many mentions in obituaries and local news, but these are only namedrops. The pastor was involved in a Methodist controversy awhile back over his sexual orientation, but while the coverage mentions the church, it doesn't provide significant coverage of it. Aside from a few passing mentions, such as VBS announcements, there's not much coverage coming this church's way. While the history of the church goes back to 1893, that's not notability-bearing, nor honestly that unusual. (the Baptist church I attend was founded several decades before 1893) Hog Farm Bacon 03:54, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. Clearly not notable. --Bduke (talk) 00:21, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I would expect to see an architectural history of the building, such as it being listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Nothing provided to establish notability; that being said, I would expect a congregation formed in the 1890's would have some newspaper coverage at some point. As it stands, nothing to show why it's notable. Oaktree b (talk)
