Moody Church
Delete: unencyclopedic article, with a strong religious POV, copied from the church's web site, about an old but not particularly notable local church. Nominated here on the assumption that the material on the web site is used by permission; otherwise this can just go to copyvio. MCB 05:29, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pretty blatant copyvio; without more info we can't assume use by permission so I blanked everything but the AfD and added a copyvio tag. Peyna 05:46, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment-I think the Moody Church is moderately notable RM page on it, but as this is copyvio I could see deleting and starting over with something that's not. Or just dealing with it at the Moody Bible Institute article. No vote for now.--T. Anthony 06:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * If this was a legitimate article, I would vote to keep as the Church seems notable enough for mine. However, it is a copyvio so Delete. Capitalistroadster 08:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete since it's here. While it might have been posted by somebody from the church, they might not have permission from the writer to use it. Even if they do, they often don't really want to give permission to post it, as they give up some of their rights as to how it can be used and it can be modified however Wikipedia wants. Also, sometimes they never come back to Wikipedia after posting the article, so we're never able to find out if they have permission. Because of this, I'd suggest sending these types of articles to copyright problems. -- Kjkolb 10:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as copyvio w/o prejudice to re-creation; church was apparently founded by Dwight L. Moody, a significant figure in U.S. evangelical Protestantism, and seems notable. Smerdis of Tlön 17:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
