 * This is an article about a building that has some significance in the history of the south Wales valleys. Cannot understand argument for deletion!Macs15 (talk) 11:06, 27 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. I'm finding evidence that Macs15 is right: it played a significant role in its sphere. I've added another source that had information on the building, and the Treorchy choir's history page has a photograph that may be old enough that we can use it. I've also added its full name: Noddfa Welsh Baptist Chapel, Treorchy / Capel Bedyddwyr Cymraeg Noddfa; that may help in finding additional sources. We shouldn't let the loss of Google News Archives make us too quick to infer lack of notability, and I'm thinking that fire must still be recorded somewhere in the media.

 * Keep. Appears to have been both a notable chapel and a large and impressive piece of architecture. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:30, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep though would like to see sourcing for the superlatives "one of the largest and grandest" - when unsourced, this kind of language becomes a target for AfD since it looks like an attempt to make something look notable that might not actually be. -- Green  C  03:16, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Being covered in detail in sources such as Valleys of Song: Music and Society in Wales 1840-1914, the topic passes the general notability guide. Andrew (talk) 19:29, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
