Gryta Church

Whether or not the implied longevity of the subject could be called a "significant claim of notability" is ambiguous. Plus, there is one source, meaning that the article fails WP:V. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:09, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Your claim as to what the WP:V policy implies is nonsense. As for the subject, Gryta Church is a listed building from before or about 1200 (earliest parts Romanesque, next building stage dated to abt. 1250-1350), as indicated by the source in the article. The English Wikipedia tends to respect listings of this sort, even when it happens to be the oldest building in Podunk, North Dakota, dating from 1882 or so. More sources exist, such as this one (originally authored by a now deceased but well-known Swedish art historian), this one (by a Ph.D. in Musicology) or this one (by a youngish Ph.D. in Economic History). --Hegvald (talk) 23:59, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Strong keep per User:Hegvald. Besides, Gryta preserves a collection of paintings dated to the year 1487 which may have been made by Albert the Painter (Albertus Pictor), simply the most famous late medieval Swedish painter. Listing articles for deletion based on personal judgement is a non-collaborative procedure that hinders the project. Krenakarore  TK 04:32, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a church that is included on the website of the Swedish National Heritage Board. Instead of being deleted, this article about a historic church should be expanded. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 04:49, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
