Persian Apostolic Church

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Despite what is claimed, this church is not actually an ancient Christian Church of the Near East. It appears to be a group founded relatively recently founded by a Catholic priest as admitted on their website. I can't tell for the life of me if they are 100% independent or in communion with one of the Eastern Catholic Churches as a parish. If it is the later, this might serve as a valid redirect to one of their North American Eparchies. but it certainly isn't notable on its own, receiving no independent coverage in reliable sources.

If this article contains inaccurate information, would not the solution be to correct the information rather than to delete the whole article? Vorbee (talk) 19:08, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * its not about the accuracy. Its about the notability of the group. I mentioned that the article was not about an ancient Christian group because if it was, that would almost certainly be notable and you could find sources on it. This is either a individual parish that began branding itself as something resembling a sui iuris Church in 2014, or a new religious group all on its own. Since it is so new, if there was sourcing it should be pretty easy to find, but it seems to be non-existent. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:23, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * DElete -- The Los Angeles category shows the real objective of this article, which is probably largely concerned with a Farsi-speaking church there. But this is combined with a mass of unsourced general material in early Christianity in Persia, which is better covered in specific articles or constitutes Original Research. I wish the church that I infer well, but like most local churches it is probably NN.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:51, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:V; looking for sources on the church or on Baroni, I found no reliable source coverage. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:36, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
