 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Holy Virgin Protection skete had such name only since 2015. Before that, it was a parish church. In 2007, the property of the parish became the object of legal proceedings. This was written in the media, including The Wall Street Journal, The Moscow Times , Kommersant , Novoye Russkoye Slovo . ~ Чръный человек (talk) 05:36, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete I wasn't able to find any other source other than it's own website. Respectfully I do acknowledge the importance of religious communities, I do not think this passes WP:GNG. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 19:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Until the fall of 2015, this skit was an ordinary parish church. ~ Чръный человек (talk) 17:21, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Rename to more common name, Sviato-Pokrovskiy Russian Orthodox Church, and create redirect. Coverage includes: The Washington Post [], USA Today [] and The Wall Street Journal [] TimTempleton (talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  19:14, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * These references do not have the article's subject as their focus. Being mentioned in passing does not fulfill WP:GNG Ifnord (talk) 19:10, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I feel the references have the "Sviato-Pokrovskiy Russian Orthodox Church" as the main focus... so the article's subject would have to be changed in addition to the title. I do agree that the "skete"/monastery aspect itself is not notable, but the church itself is. = paul2520 (talk) 19:38, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Per WP:GNG:

Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. <div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - rename, as per 's [unsigned] comment above. See this archive.is copy to avoid subscription/paywall for WSJ post. I feel the three articles should absolutely be referenced, the photo captioned, and a little cleanup. The three references establish an interesting notability as a Cold War-era church with an interesting story to be told. = paul2520 (talk) 19:08, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom, for failing WP:GNG. Ifnord (talk) 19:13, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - As per WP:SUSTAINED, there was some limited coverage of this establishment for a very brief period during 2007. Before and since: nada. Onel 5969  <i style="color:blue">TT me</i> 13:58, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
