Mars Hill Bible Church
Not notable. One of countless local churches. Tverbeek 20:48, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Borderline speedy, but perhaps some indirect claim to notability. Delete anyway, as nom. Agentsoo 21:08, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain not a speedy - 'notability not asserted' (A7) only applies to individuals. As to VfD, question: is being a local (otherwise unremarkable) religious organisation inherently any less notable than being a local (otherwise unremarkable) primary school? --Doc (?) 22:06, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that such a generalised comparison can be made meaningfully. Regardless, an article for either one is just a vanity page for an unremarkable entity.  If taking out the POV-advocacy (the apparent point of this article) and trivia (the bulk of the content) would leave you with just a stub... that's not notable. Tverbeek 23:20, 2 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, it's a megachurch. Gazpacho 23:26, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * So if I call myself a supermodel, do I get my own article? Tverbeek 23:34, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you get 10,000 people to watch you? The fact that it occupies a former shopping mall indicates its size. Gazpacho 00:36, 3 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, according to this it has an average attendance of 10,000 per week. - SimonP 23:40, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, as said above, 10k people attend every week; that assumes notability. There was an article in my local paper recently, let me see if I can expand it and clean it up.  69.208.65.186 23:42, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * By the way, this was me, not logged in.  ral  315  23:43, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Locally notable? see also: NOOMA &mdash; Linnwood (talk) [[Image:Flag of the United States.svg|25px]] 00:10, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable church. Capitalistroadster 00:49, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is very much different than average church--highly notable.
