Kissy Road Church of the Holy Trinity

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable church, no claims of notability, zero Google hits (although I'll admit that a church in Sierra Leone is probably not going to have much of an Internet presence). I put a db-nn tag on it, but it was removed. Corvus cornix 18:12, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename It can probably be expanded, and should be given a notability tag so that it may be so. Only after having such a tag for a period of time, allowing editors to expand it, should it be considered for deletion. The article should be renamed, however, to something like Holy Trinity Church (Freetown) or something. User: (talk • contribs • count) 19:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


 * How can it be expanded if there are zero Google hits? Corvus cornix 20:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete being burnt down in a war-torn country does not make it notable Corpx 00:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename. A google search on "Holy Trinity Church" kissy brings it up in the following sites: Human Rights watch, Sierra Leone Web (, University of Illinois - Chicago , and the United Nations . It was visited by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 2003 It seems to be in the process of being rebuilt, although it's not clear whether it would on the same site. How about Holy Trinity Church (Kissy)? Or since Kissy is a neighborhood of Freetown, Holy Trinity Church (Kissy, Freetown). Novickas 16:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Those links do not give "significant coverage" as required by WP:N Corpx 18:09, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete notability is not inherited, and there are only trivial mentions of this institution. VanTucky  (talk) 20:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I did a rewrite at User:CaliforniaAliBaba/Holy Trinity Church (Freetown); IMO the church referred to in those sources is notable ("largest congregation", "most important church in the colony", etc.). However, I'm not sure the article we're discussing here is about the same church; see this diff from Kissy, Sierra Leone. cab 00:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources cited in this AFD do not appear to give substantial coverage to a church that is clearly the subject of the article under consideration. Fails WP:ORG and WP:N. There is no notability guideline specific to churches and religious congregations, since the rejection of WP:CONG. Edison 16:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
